DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION/Class Action Waiver
This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and the Sponsor. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury. Please read this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision carefully. It provides that all Disputes between you and the Sponsor (as defined below, for this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision) shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in court, before a judge or jury, and/or participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions).
Except as otherwise provided, entering into the Sweepstakes constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys’ fees). For the purpose of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision, “Sponsor” means PLAYSTUDIOS US, LLC and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and PLAYSTUDIOS regarding any aspect of your participation in the Sweepstakes, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.
YOU AND SPONSOR EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Sponsor an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing a written notification to PLAYSTUDIOS Legal Department, 10150 Covington Cross Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Sponsor does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt-Out
Notwithstanding the above, you or Sponsor may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision by mailing written notification to PLAYSTUDIOS Legal Department, 10150 Covington Cross Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89144. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with PLAYSTUDIOS through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with PLAYSTUDIOS. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
Arbitration Procedures
If this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (“Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution”) either you or Sponsor may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision. For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration. Because the Sweepstakes and these Rules concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award, on an individual basis, any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against, or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration. You or Sponsor may initiate arbitration in either Las Vegas, Nevada or the federal judicial district that includes the address you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. In the event that you select the federal judicial district that includes the address you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution, Sponsor may transfer the arbitration to Las Vegas, Nevada in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the transfer, as determined by the arbitrator. For participants who are legal residents of one of the provinces or territories of Canada (excluding the province of Quebec, the residents of which are ineligible to enter the Sweepstakes, the references to Las Vegas, Nevada in this provision should be read to refer instead to “Toronto, Ontario”.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. Sponsor will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Sponsor as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and Sponsor specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you.
