Section 10: Limited Time to File Claims
If you want to assert a dispute against Beam, then you must commence it within the applicable statute of limitations after the dispute arises, or it will be forever barred. "Commencing" means filing for arbitration with the AAA as set forth in the Arbitration section.
Section 11: Binding Arbitration
By agreeing to Arbitration, Participant understands and agrees that they are waiving their right to sue in court.
Any dispute, including but not limited to statutory claims, that cannot first be resolved through informal methods will be submitted to binding arbitration under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) then in effect (the "Rules"), except as modified herein. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA. Claims or disputes that fall within the scope of the small claims court's limited jurisdiction may, however, be submitted to such court. By agreeing to arbitrate, each party is giving up its right to go to court and have any dispute heard by a judge or jury. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination should be made by an independent arbitrator. You and Beam will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by these Terms, and will determine any dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis. After the hearing, the arbitrator or arbitrators will decide the dispute and render a written decision setting forth the issues adjudicated, the resolution thereof and the reasons for the award. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in the federal or state courts located in Columbus, Ohio,United States. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), will apply to the dispute and will govern whether the dispute is subject to arbitration, including the No Class Action Matters section below. You can obtain AAA procedures, rules and fee information as follows: Call: AAA: 800.778.7879 Website: http://www.ADR.org.
Section 12: No Class Action Matters
Disputes hereunder will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitration or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. This means you and Beam agree that each may bring claims regarding such disputes against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding or as an association. There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or on any basis involving disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated.
If for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction regarding arbitration on a class action basis is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the dispute must be brought exclusively in a state or Federal Court located in Columbus, Ohio. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this "No Class Action Matters" section), are to be decided only by a federal or state court located in Columbus, Ohio, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
Section 13: Entire Agreement; Severability; Conflicts; No Waiver
These Terms contain the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Program, and supersede any previous terms and conditions governing the Program we may have provided to you. The Program is not available where and to the extent prohibited by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental agency determines that any provision of these Terms is void or unenforceable, that provision will continue to be enforceable to the extent permitted by that court or agency, and the remainder of that provision will no longer be considered as part of these Terms. However, all other provisions will remain in full force and effect. We will not lose our rights under these Terms because we delay or do not enforce them. All waivers of any of these Terms by us must be in a writing executed by someone with authority to bind us.
