You and Viacom agree to submit to individual arbitration the resolution of any and all Claims (as defined below) by or between you and/or Viacom, except that you and Viacom agree that the following will not be subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions in this Section: (A) any Claim filed by you or Viacom with respect to any violation, enforcement or validity of patent, trademark, trade dress, service mark, copyright and/or trade secret rights of you, Viacom, or any third party and/or (B) you or Viacom may seek a preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief in any court as provided herein in connection with any Claim whereby you or Viacom, as applicable, may suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages may be inadequate and impossible to calculate (including, but not limited to, a Claim under subsection (A) above, where such Claim under this Subsection (B) will not be subject to the informal dispute resolution procedures described in the paragraph below; provided, however, that, subsequent to obtaining such preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief, the Claim will then be submitted to arbitration in accordance with this Section. You and Viacom agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce, and that the enforceability of this Section will be governed by, construed, and enforced, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1–9 ("FAA"). Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, discovery is more limited than in court, there are no class or representative proceedings, and court review of an arbitration decision is limited. An arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including, but not limited to, injunctive and declaratory relief, statutory damages, and attorneys' fees). "Claim(s)" means any dispute, claim or controversy by or between you and/or Viacom relating to this Agreement, the Game or the Content, as may be, in each case, modified from time-to-time, and the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any contract, tort, statutory, or equity claims. - Informal Dispute Resolution. Except with respect to Claims described in subsection (B) of the preceding paragraph, before either you or Viacom pursue or participate in any Claim against the other party in arbitration or court proceedings, you or Viacom must notify the other party of the Claim in writing at least 60 days in advance of initiating the arbitration or court proceeding in order to provide a reasonable opportunity to resolve the Claim.
You may send a written notice of your Claim to Viacom at 1515 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Viacom Inc. General Counsel. Viacom may send written or electronic notice of its Claim to your email address, Viacom account or any physical or other address Viacom has for you. The notice must describe the Claim in reasonable detail and set forth the relief requested so that the other party has an opportunity to adequately address the Claim. Except with respect to Claims described in subsection (B) of the Section XIX above, you and Viacom agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to informally resolve the Claim and, if you and Viacom do not reach an informal resolution of the Claim within 60 days, then the Claim may be submitted to binding arbitration as set forth in the Section XIX of this Agreement. - Arbitration Proceedings and Costs.
Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules, and other information about the AAA, are available at the AAA's website at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website (see Demand for Arbitration at https://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015820 and, for arbitrations in California, https://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822, but contact the AAA if you have issues accessing these links) and arbitration proceedings shall be initiated in the location described in Section XXIII below. As required by the AAA Rules, if you initiate the arbitration proceedings, you must send the original copy of the completed form to Viacom, which should be sent to Viacom at the following address: 1515 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Viacom Inc. General Counsel. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules. In all cases, you and Viacom shall exchange documents and other information that you or Viacom intend to use in the arbitration.
Upon filing of an arbitration demand for Claims up to $75,000, Viacom will reimburse you for all necessary filing, administration and arbitrator fees paid by you to the AAA or, if you wish Viacom to pay such fees directly to the AAA, you must request payment of such fees by Viacom by mail to the AAA along with your form initiating arbitration and Viacom will make arrangements to pay such fees directly to the AAA. In the event the arbitrator determines that the Claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous or vexatious, you agree to reimburse Viacom for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Viacom on your behalf. You agree that Viacom shall have no obligation to pay any other fees except as determined by the arbitrator.
For Claims that total more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees to the maximum extent permitted by law. The decision of the arbitrator will be binding and conclusive on all parties, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. - UNLESS YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE (AS DESCRIBED BELOW), YOU AND VIACOM AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
You and Viacom expressly agree that any Claim is personal to you and Viacom, shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration (or individual court proceedings with respect to Claims excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section XIX of this Agreement), and shall in no event be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. The arbitrator (or court if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in the Section XIX of this Agreement) may only conduct an individual arbitration (or court action if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in the Section XIX of this Agreement), and may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable in an action between you and Viacom, then this agreement to arbitrate will be unenforceable. Neither you nor Viacom consent to class arbitration.
Right to Opt Out of Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOTIFY VIACOM IN WRITING (THE "Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice"), WHERE THE ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE MEETS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
- Sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, certified and return receipt requested or sent by overnight courier service (such as Federal Express) to Viacom Inc., Attention: Viacom Legal Department, Records Management, 1515 Broadway, 51st Floor, New York, NY 10036.
- Postmarked (if sent by first class mail) or deposited with the overnight courier service no later than (A), 45 days after the date you accept this Agreement for the first time, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.
- Includes your first and last name, address, phone number, email address. We shall use the foregoing information included in the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice to record, process, maintain and administer your opt-out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions and not for marketing purposes.
- Includes a statement that you do not agree to the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver.
If the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice meets all of the above requirements, you will be deemed to have opted out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions in in this Agreement. Note that a valid Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice applies only to the individual identified in such notice as opting out.
- GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION LOCATION, JURISDICTION, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
With the exception of the provision above that the enforceability of the Arbitration terms are governed both procedurally and substantively by the FAA, this Agreement and your use of the Game is otherwise governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to that state's conflict of laws rules).
You or Viacom shall initiate arbitration in the United States county or territory in which you reside or, if you do not reside in the United States or one of its territories, in the non-United States country in which you reside; provided, however, that (a) Viacom may request to transfer the arbitration to New York County, New York if it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location as such additional fees or costs are determined by the arbitrator and to the maximum extent permitted by law and, upon such request, (b)(i) if you agree to such request, the arbitration shall be transferred to New York County, New York or (ii) if you do not agree to such request, Viacom shall have right to request that the arbitrator determine the location in which the arbitration shall be held. You and Viacom agree that any Claim that is allowed to proceed in court as set forth in Section XIX of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, as a result of your submission of a valid Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice), or otherwise proceeds in court in the event the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or a particular Claim as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, is subject to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the State or Federal Courts situated in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, State of New York.
To the extent it may be applicable, you and Viacom agree to opt out from and expressly exclude any applicability of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. If any Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND VIACOM WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
- Sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, certified and return receipt requested or sent by overnight courier service (such as Federal Express) to Viacom Inc., Attention: Viacom Legal Department, Records Management, 1515 Broadway, 51st Floor, New York, NY 10036.
- General Terms
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Viacom and you regarding the Game and the Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Viacom and you regarding the Game and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the agreement to arbitrate terms above or by court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the Terms), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Viacom’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and void. Viacom may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Viacom’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Viacom. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
