Most of Your concerns about this Plan can be addressed by contacting Us at 1-800-211-2272. Where permitted by applicable law, in the event that We cannot resolve any dispute with You,YOU AND WE AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

This A.A. shall survive termination of the Plan and shall be governed by the Rules. This A.A. shall be interpreted broadly, and includes any dispute You have with Us that arises out of or relates in any way to the Plan or the relationship between You and Us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise. However, this A.A. does not preclude You from informing any federal, provincial or municipal government agencies or entities of your dispute.

To initiate arbitration, send a written Notice of Claim describing the dispute and the relief sought to: 9797 Rombauer Road, Dallas, Texas 75019 by registered mail. If We do not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of Our receipt of the Notice, then You may start an arbitration in accordance with the Rules.

The dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator. If You and We cannot agree on an arbitrator, then one shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this A.A, and shall decide all issues, except issues relating to enforceability of this A.A., which may be decided by a court. The arbitration will be conducted by submitting documents to the arbitrator, unless You request an in person or telephonic hearing and the arbitrator decides that a hearing is necessary or a hearing is required by the Rules. Unless otherwise agreed, any hearing will take place in the municipality of your mailing address. We will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration, unless Your dispute is found by the arbitrator to have been filed for the purpose of harassment or is patently frivolous. In that case, the Rules will govern payment of such fees.

The arbitrator shall issue a decision including a statement of facts and supporting law and the arbitrator’s decision will be final, without any right of appeal. If the arbitrator finds in Your favor and issues a damages award that is greater than the value of the last settlement We offered or if We made no settlement offer and the arbitrator awards You any damages, then We will pay You the amount of any damage award and pay the attorneys’ fees and expenses You reasonably incurred in the arbitration, if any. While that right to fees and expenses is in addition to any right You may have under applicable law, You may not recover duplicate awards of fees and expenses. In the event any damages award in your favour is less than the value of the last settlement We offered, then We will not be liable for any costs award and the arbitrator shall not have the jurisdiction to award costs of the proceeding to You.

If you seek declaratory or injunctive relief, then that relief can be awarded by the arbitrator only to the extent necessary to provide you relief.

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless You and We agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate Your dispute with any other person’s dispute and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this provision is found to be unenforceable, then it shall be severable from the remainder of the A.A. and this Agreement.
