Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitrations or proceedings. Neither you nor Skydance will seek to have a Dispute, as defined herein, heard as a class action or private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. 

You agree to arbitrate, as provided below, all Disputes between you and Skydance (including any related Disputes involving Skydance’s subsidiaries or affiliates), that are not resolved informally. A “Dispute” includes any dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, between you and Skydance concerning the Game or this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and Skydance empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any Dispute and any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.

The only exceptions to this Arbitration Agreement are that each of you and Skydance: (a) retains the right to sue in small claims court; and (b) may bring suit in court against the other to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights and (c) may bring suit to enforce an arbitration award granted in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement.

A.    In the event of a Dispute, you or Skydance must send to the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute to Skydance Interactive, LLC, 2900 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90404 USA, Attn: Legal Department. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and Skydance will attempt to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. After that sixty (60) day period and not before, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. You may instead litigate a Dispute in small claims court if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court, whether or not you negotiated informally first.

B.    If you and Skydance do not resolve a Dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”) in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS Rules and instructions about how to initiate an arbitration are available at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator, and if you and Skydance cannot agree on who that single arbitrator will be, the arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Rules. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in Los Angeles, California. You and Skydance agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles, California, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. In the event that either party initiates a proceeding involving any Dispute other than in accordance with this Agreement, the other party shall recover all attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing this Agreement. The arbitrator may award damages individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.

In accordance with the JAMS Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or Skydance) is responsible for paying the filing fee. However, if the arbitrator issues you an award of damages and: (a) that award is greater than the amount of our last written settlement offer; or (b) if we did not make a settlement offer, then in addition to paying for any JAMS Case Management Fees and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services, we will reimburse you for the filing fees you incurred. If the arbitrator, at the request of the winning party, finds that the losing party brought a claim or asserted a defense frivolously or for an improper purpose, then regardless of the amount in dispute, the arbitrator must order the losing party to pay both sides’ arbitration fees and may order the losing party to pay the winning party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, unless such an award of fees is prohibited by Applicable Law.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue

Use of the Game, including, without limitation, any controversy, claim, or Dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Game and/or this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without respect to its choice (or conflict) of law rules. Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to Skydance must be commenced within 1 year after the claim or cause of action arose.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by Skydance of any term or condition set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Skydance to assert a right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
