9. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND PROVIDER TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION ARE INTENDED TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOLVING THEIR DISPUTES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF ANY PARTY’S CLAIMS.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW, IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THE TERMS.

Definition of “Dispute.”

For purposes of this Section 9, “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us (including all League Parties) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) these Terms or any prior version thereof; (c) any Content or services provided through the Service; or (d) the relationship between you and us — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of when the claim arose. Dispute shall be interpreted broadly.

Claims This Section Applies To

The dispute resolution and binding arbitration terms in this Section 9 apply to all Claims between you and us. A “Claim” is any dispute, claim, or controversy (excluding those exceptions listed below) between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, that either party wishes to seek legal recourse for and that arises from or relates to the Services, including any privacy or data security claims or claims related to the validity, enforceability, or scope of the arbitration requirement or any portion of it.

Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to Arbitration

If you have a Claim against us or if we have a Claim against you, the Parties will first attempt to resolve the Claim informally in order to try and resolve the Claim faster and reduce costs for both parties. You and us will make a good-faith effort to negotiate the resolution of any Claim for 45 days, or such longer period as mutually agreed in writing (email suffices) by the parties, (“Informal Resolution Period”) from the day either party receives a written notice of a dispute from the other party (a “Claimant Notice”) in accordance with these Terms.

You will send any Claimant Notice by certified mail addressed to Dunkman League, LLC, c/o Authentic Brands Group LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1411 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10018 or by email to legaldept@authentic.com. We will send any Claimant Notice to you by certified mail or email using the contact information you have provided to us. The Claimant Notice sent by either party must (i) include the sender’s name, address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. A Claimant Notice shall be individualized such that it may only pertain to you and you alone, and may not be combined with a Claimant Notice by any other individual.

During the Informal Resolution Period and before we may commence arbitration of a dispute, we agree to meet and confer by telephone or by videoconference in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute informally (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, but you must also personally participate in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference.

The party initiating the dispute agrees to provide a notice of intent to initiate the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice of Conference”) as follows: the Notice of Conference must include the following information: Your name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail address, and the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail address of your counsel (if any), and whether you intend to have the conference by telephone or by videoconference. The Notice of Conference must be mailed to by certified mail return receipt requested to Dunkman League, LLC, c/o Authentic Brands Group LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1411 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10018 or by email to legaldept@authentic.com. A Notice of Conference shall be individualized such that it may only pertain to you and you alone, and may not be combined with a Notice of Conference by any other individual. You may, but are not required to, combine in one mailing a Claimant Notice and a Notice of Conference.

The Informal Resolution Period is designed to allow the party who has received a Claimant Notice to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if it chooses to do so. You nor us can proceed to arbitration before the end of the Informal Resolution Period. If you or we file a Claim in court or proceed to arbitration without complying with the requirements in this Section, including waiting until the conclusion of the Informal Resolution Period, the other party reserves the right to seek relief from a court to enjoin the filing and seek damages from the party that has not followed the requirements in this Section to reimburse it for any arbitration fees and costs already incurred as a foreseeable consequence of that breach.

The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines for a Claim will be tolled for the duration of the Informal Resolution Period for that Claim so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.

Small Claims Court

As an alternative to arbitration, either party may bring an individual Claim in small claims court if it falls within the jurisdictional scope and monetary limits of the small claims court where you reside. Such claims must remain in small claims court on an individual basis and may not be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.

Claims Subject to Binding Arbitration; Exceptions

Except for individual disputes that qualify for small claims court (provided that the small-claims court does not permit class or similar representative actions or relief) and any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of the Parties, including any disputes in which you or we seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or our intellectual property or other infringement of your or our intellectual property rights (“IP Claims”), all Claims, including Claims that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved informally in accordance with this Section, will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Claims include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.

Binding Individual Arbitration

The sending of a Notice of Dispute and the completion of an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference are conditions precedent to our respective right to commence arbitration. Accordingly, if, but only if, we are unable to resolve a dispute within 30 days after the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is completed, we may commence arbitration pursuant to the procedures in the Terms. No arbitration may commence or proceed until the requirements set forth above are fully satisfied.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association, as modified by the Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. If the AAA is unavailable or refuses to arbitrate the parties’ dispute for any reason, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted by a widely-recognized arbitration organization that is mutually agreeable to the Parties, but neither party shall unreasonably withhold their consent. If the Parties cannot agree to a mutually agreeable arbitration organization, one shall be appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. In all events, the AAA Rules shall govern the parties’ dispute. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1 800-778-7879. The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.

The arbitrator shall be bound by the Terms and shall follow the applicable law. In this regard, the arbitrator shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs an error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.

The Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the FAA to the extent permitted by law. As limited by the FAA, the Terms, and the Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Claim and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may only award legal or equitable remedies that are individual to you or us to satisfy one of our individual Claims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence).

We agree that, by agreeing to the Terms, we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Arbitration Procedure and Location

The Parties may initiate arbitration of any Claim not resolved during the Informal Resolution Period by filing a demand for arbitration with AAA in accordance with the Rules.

Instructions for filing a demand for arbitration with AAA are available on the AAA website or by calling AAA at 800-778-7879. You will send a copy of any demand for arbitration by certified mail addressed to Dunkman League, LLC, c/o Authentic Brands Group LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1411 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10018 or by email to legaldept@authentic.com. We will send any demand for arbitration to you by certified mail or email using the contact information you have provided to us.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in the English language. The Parties both agree that the arbitrator will be bound by the Terms.

Unless the parties agree in writing, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address.

At either party’s election, arbitration of any dispute shall proceed pursuant to the Desk Arbitration rules of the AAA, unless both parties are represented by counsel.

Prior to the appointment of a merits arbitrator, either party may request the appointment of a process arbitrator to determine: (i) whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section D(1) hereof have been satisfied; (ii) whether AAA’s filing requirements have been satisfied; (iii) the applicable arbitration agreement; (iv) the applicable AAA rules that apply; (v) the allocation of payment advances on administrative fees, arbitrator compensation, and/or expenses; (vi) any other issue agreed to be addressed by the process arbitrator; and (vii) any other issue regarding the administration of the arbitration.

If the process arbitrator makes an initial determination that the dispute is frivolous or brought in bad faith, it shall allocate all AAA and arbitrator fees and expenses to the party who initiated the arbitration. If the merits arbitrator subsequently determines that the claims were not frivolous, will reimburse any AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees that were paid by you.

If the merits arbitrator finds that a dispute is frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), the prevailing party shall recover all fees paid to AAA and, at the arbitrator’s discretion, an award of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

Arbitration Fees

After we receive notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee. If you are unable to pay this fee, we will pay it directly upon receiving a written request from you. Except as otherwise provided for herein, we will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the terms of the Terms.

Offers of Settlement

Either party may, but is not obligated to, make a written settlement offer for a Claim. If an arbitration decision or award is later issued that is less favorable to a party than the latest written offer of settlement that party did not accept, that party must pay all costs and fees—including arbitration, attorney, and expert fees—incurred by the other party after the written settlement offer was made. The terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to an arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues a decision or award on the Claim.

Confidentiality

If you or we submit a Claim to arbitration, the Parties agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. The Parties agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.

Mass Arbitration

WE AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT MASS ARBITRATION IS ATTEMPTED OR SOUGHT, SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED PURSUANT TO THE FOLLOWING RULES.

  • “Mass Arbitration” means 25 or more arbitration demands that: (i) are filed within 180 days of each other, (ii) allege similar or identical claims or causes of action, and (iii) either (a) the Parties to those arbitration demands seek to simultaneously or collectively administer and/or arbitrate together, or (b) are filed by the same counsel or in coordination with each other.
  • In the event that Mass Arbitration is attempted or sought involving 250 arbitration demands or less, we agree the arbitration provider shall: (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no less than 25 arbitration demands per group; and (ii) provide for resolution of each group or batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator assigned per group or batch.
  • In the event that Mass Arbitration is attempted or sought involving over 250 arbitration demands, we agree that the arbitration provider shall: (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no less than 250 arbitration demands per group; and (ii) provide for resolution of each group or batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator assigned per group or batch.
  • All Mass Arbitration shall be subject to all other substantive and procedural terms contained within the Terms.
  • We agree to cooperate in good faith with the arbitration provider to implement the aforementioned protocol for Mass Arbitration with regard to resolution, fees, and administration.
  • If any part of this Section related to Mass Arbitration is found to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be stricken, and the remainder of this Section and the Terms shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
  • If the arbitration provider is unwilling or unable to follow the procedures set forth in this Section with regard to Mass Arbitration, the parties may attempt to retain a different, mutually agreeable and widely-recognized arbitration organization that will agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Section. In the event that the parties are unable to retain or agree to such an alternative arbitration provider, the alternative dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Terms shall not apply to those disputes within the Mass Arbitration.

Opting Out of Arbitration

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the Terms by emailing legaldept@authentic.com. To be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration in order to be valid. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with this Section.

Rejection of Future Arbitration Changes

You may reject any change we make to this Section (except address changes) by sending us notice of your rejection within 30 days of the change via email at legaldept@authentic.com. Changes to this Section may only be rejected as a whole, and you may not reject only certain changes to this Section. If you reject changes made to this Section, the most recent version of this Section that you have not rejected will continue to apply.

Severability

If any portion of this Section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from the Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with the Terms, and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section will be enforceable.

Delegation

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide including, but not limited to, (i) all issues regarding arbitrability, (ii) the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Terms’ other terms and conditions, (iii) whether you or we, through litigation conduct or otherwise, waived the right to arbitrate, (iv) whether all or any part of the arbitration provision or Terms is unenforceable, void or voidable including, but not limited to, on grounds of unconscionability, (v) any dispute regarding the payment of arbitration-related fees, (vi) any dispute related to the Claimant Notice, Notice of Conference and/or Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, and (vii) any dispute related to Mass Arbitration (defined above).

Pursuant to this agreement, the arbitrator has been delegated with, and possesses, exclusive authority to resolve all of the above-enumerated types of disputes. However, if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, the court shall have the power to decide whether this agreement permits class or representative proceedings.

10. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any disputes, claims or controversy between the Parties shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of New York any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms, or the Service that is not subject to arbitration pursuant to the above section and that cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in the State of New York. You consent to personal jurisdiction in such courts and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any other basis.

You agree to accept service of process by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address you provide. We shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in successfully proving any breach of these Terms.

11. Modifications to Terms

We may amend, modify, or update these Terms at any time in its sole discretion by posting the revised Terms on the Site with an updated “Last Updated” date.

You are encouraged to review these Terms periodically. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Service.

12. Export Control

You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports.

13. General Provisions

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the League with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge and agree that any violation of these Terms relating to our Intellectual Property or Content may result in irreparable harm not adequately compensable by money damages. Accordingly, we shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

Miscellaneous

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the Parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
