- Arbitration / Class Action Waiver.
- You mutually agree with us to resolve any and all disputes between each other, including arising under this Agreement, through binding arbitration or small claims court rather than a court of general jurisdiction. Arbitration utilizes a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and the procedures are generally simpler and more limited than those applicable to a lawsuit in court. Arbitration is subject to limited review by courts, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and remedies that a court can award. For the purposes of this arbitration provision, a “dispute” between us shall be broadly construed to mean any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us, including any dispute relating to this Agreement.
Nothing in this arbitration provision shall prevent you or HOP from: (i) bringing an individual action in small claims court if the dispute is within the jurisdiction of that court, (ii) seeking preliminary injunctive relief in aid of arbitration in the state or federal courts of the state in which your home club is located, or (iii) pursuing an available enforcement action through any local, state, or federal governmental agency. - Class Action Waiver.
YOU AND HOP AGREE THAT EACH MUST BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and HOP acknowledge and agree that you and we each are giving up and waiving the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class action, either in court or in arbitration, or in any other representative or consolidated proceeding. This means that neither you nor HOP may join claims in arbitration with or against other customers, or litigate in court or arbitrate any claims as a representative or member of a class and that the arbitrator may not consolidate any claims into a class proceeding. - Arbitration Rules
The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. The arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis before a single arbitrator in accordance with the then current American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Consumer Rules”), available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator, and not any local, state, or federal court, shall have the exclusive authority to determine all issues regarding the interpretation, applicability, and enforcement of this agreement and all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute, including but not limited to any claim that all or part of this arbitration provision is void or voidable. The arbitrator is authorized to issue any and all remedies authorized by law. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and the arbitration award enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this arbitration provision and the AAA Consumer Rules, the terms of this arbitration provision shall control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of any inconsistent arbitration provision terms would result in a fundamentally unfair arbitration. You and HOP agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction following service of a subpoena and prior notice to you or HOP, or as mandated by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of governmental agencies. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement or your time as a customer. - Arbitration Procedures. You and HOP agree to attempt initially to solve all disputes subject to arbitration by conducting good-faith, informal negotiations. Before commencing arbitration, the party seeking arbitration must provide the other party with written notice of the dispute that includes: (i) the name, mailing address, and email and/or phone number of the party giving notice; (ii) a detailed description of the dispute; and (iii) the relief sought.

You and HOP agree to use good-faith efforts to attempt to resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days from the date the notice of the dispute is sent. If you and HOP do not reach agreement on resolving the dispute within those forty-five (45) days, the party seeking arbitration may commence arbitration in accordance with the AAA Consumer Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or other municipality) where you Delivery Address is located
