A. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AND Sports Illustrated Tickets AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SPORTS ILLUSTRATED TICKETS AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND SHALL NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND SPORTS ILLUSTRATED TICKETS AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then subject to your and SI Ticket’s right to appeal the court’s decision, that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims will be arbitrated.
B. Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual; and an arbitrator must also follow the terms of the Terms Of Use, as a court would.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except those issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief"), shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of the Terms Of Use including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate or the Terms Of Use is void or voidable.
The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under the Rules, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration will take place in New York, NY.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a completed form Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). A Notice to Sports Illustrated Tickets should be sent to Sports Illustrated Tickets, 234 10th Avenue, #20273, New York, NY 10011-9993 Attn: General Counsel. Sports Illustrated Tickets will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your Sports Illustrated Tickets account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.
If you and Sports Illustrated Tickets are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or Sports Illustrated Tickets may initiate arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Rules. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to Sports Illustrated Tickets at the following address: Sports Illustrated Tickets, 234 10th Avenue, #20273, New York, NY 10011-9993 In the event Sports Illustrated Tickets initiates arbitration against you, it will send a copy of the completed form to the physical address that you provided and we have on file associated with your SI Tickets account. Any settlement offer made by you or SI Tickets shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually-agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or SI Tickets may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, by remote means, or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and SI Tickets subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or SI Tickets may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Sports Illustrated Tickets users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same SI Tickets user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
