If the US Entrant has a Dispute, such US Entrant shall send the notice of Dispute by email to adr@nhl.com. US Entrant and NHL agree to make a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute for a least sixty (60) days following receipt of the notice of dispute. If such parties cannot resolve the Dispute within that time period, it shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and heard by a single arbitrator. The AAA rules will govern except as specifically modified. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide except the following, which are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide: (1) issues that are specifically reserved for a court and (2) issues related to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provisions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party may bring claims (whether in court or in arbitration) against the other only in an individual capacity, and not participate as a plaintiff, claimant, or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the US Entrant and NHL waive any right to a jury trial. There are additional procedures for “multiple case filings.” These Official Rules and any Dispute will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the state and federal courts of New York County, New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute (except for Disputes brought in small claims court) that are not subject to arbitration or over any action involving the applicability or enforceability of any provisions of these Official Rules (including the arbitration provisions and class action waiver). With regard to Canadian Entrants (each, a “Canadian Entrant”), any and all Disputes between the Canadian Entrant and NHL shall be resolved exclusively by the courts of the Province of Ontario and all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the Canadian Entrants and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the laws of Canada applicable therein without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the Province of Ontario or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario. Applicable to all Entrants: Except where prohibited by law, and subject to the foregoing, Entrants agree that: (i) any and all such Disputes shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, (ii) any and all Disputes, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Sweepstakes, but in no event attorneys’ fees, (iii) under no circumstances will Entrants be permitted to obtain awards for, and Entrants hereby waive all rights to claim, indirect, punitive, incidental, consequential and/or any other damages other than actual out-of-pocket expenses, (iv) they waive any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased, and (v) they irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, as applicable to each such Entrant, and waive any claim of forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction that they may have.
