ARBITRATION
PROVISION. By participating in this Sweepstakes in the Territory each
participant agrees that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in
contract, tort, or otherwise) participant may have against the Sweepstakes
Tickets arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the
Sweepstakes, the awarding or redemption of prizes, or the determination of the
scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be resolved
exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the National
Arbitration Forum (the "Forum") and conducted before a sole
arbitrator pursuant to the Code of Procedure established by the Forum; (2) this
arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate
commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act
("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held at a
location determined by the Forum pursuant to the Code of Procedure (provided
such location is reasonably convenient for participant), or at such other location
as may be mutually agreed by the participant and Sponsor; (4) the arbitrator's
decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of these Official
Rules and any of the other agreements referenced herein that the applicable
participant may have entered into in connection with the Sweepstakes; (5) the
arbitrator shall apply Missouri law consistent with the FAA and applicable
statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law;
(6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or
representative basis, arbitration can decide only the participant's and/or
Sponsor's individual claims; the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the
claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (7) the arbitrator
shall not have the power to award punitive damages against the participant or
Sponsor; (8) in the event that the administrative fees and deposits that must
be paid to initiate arbitration against Sponsor exceed $125 USD, and the
participant is unable (or not required under the applicable Code of Procedure)
to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this amount, Sponsor agrees to pay
them and/or forward them on the participant's behalf, subject to ultimate
allocation by the arbitrator. In addition, if the participant is able to
demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to
the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay as much of the participant's filing
and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary
to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (9) with the
exception of subpart (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is
deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the
Code of Procedure established by the Forum, then the balance of this
arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in
accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or
conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (6) is
found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this
Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither Sponsor nor
participant shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information
on the Forum and/or the Forum's Code of Procedure, participants may visit their
Website at www.arb-Forum.com or contact them at National Arbitration Forum,
