- Let’s Try To Sort Things Out First: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Sponsor, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@universalstandard.net. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 90 days of submission of a claim – and only then – you or Sponsor may bring a formal proceeding.
- We Both Agree To Arbitrate: You and Sponsor agree to resolve any claims relating to these Official Rules or any Giveaway through final and binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be held in the state of New York. You and Sponsor agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
- Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by sending a letter with proof of delivery to Sponsor that must be postmarked within 30 days of your Giveaway's entry. The letter must specify your first and last names, email address, mailing address, and explain that you are opting out of this arbitration provision. The letter should be sent ATTN: Legal Department to Universal Standard, 625 Broadway, FL 4, NY, NY 10012
- Arbitration Procedures: The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the rules of the JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, available at jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5276 (referred to as the “JAMS” rules) and under these Official Rules. We may also mutually agree to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based on written submissions.
- Arbitration and Attorney’s Fees: You are responsible for all costs that you may incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and expert witness costs unless Sponsor is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on Sponsor and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Sponsor and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation, motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Official Rules and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sponsor and you agree not to seek attorneys’ fees and expert witness costs unless the arbitrator finds that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted for any improper purpose. Sponsor and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, Sponsor and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. Sponsor and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. If Sponsor is the prevailing party in the arbitration, applicable law may allow the arbitrator to award attorneys’ fees and costs to Sponsor. If any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect. In the event some or all of these arbitration provisions are determined to be unenforceable for any reason, or if a claim, dispute, or controversy is brought that is found by a court to be excluded from the scope of these arbitration provisions, Sponsor and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury. The terms of these arbitration provisions will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent or affiliated company of Sponsor to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to or participation in the Giveaway or any component thereof or other promotion or incentive run in connection with any reward.
- No Class Actions: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You agree that class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.
- BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ARBITRATION, YOU SHOULD OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION PER THE TERMS OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES . OTHERWISE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN A GIVEAWAY.

Both you and Sponsor consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
- Choice of Law: You agree that the arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and not by any state or provincial law concerning arbitration.
