FOR ANY AND ALL DISPUTES OR CLAIMS YOU OR SPONSOR HAVE, THE PARTY PURSUING THE DISPUTE OR CLAIM MUST FIRST GIVE THE OTHER PARTY AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE OR CLAIM BY SENDING AN INDIVIDUAL, WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE CLAIM THAT DESCRIBES IN DETAIL THE INDIVIDUAL DAMAGES THAT THE PARTY CLAIMS TO HAVE SUFFERED (THE “DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION”). YOU MUST SEND YOUR DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION TO SPONSOR’S REGISTERED AGENT AT THIS ADDRESS: CHEYENNE INTERNATIONAL, LLC 701 S. BATTLEGROUND AVENUE, GROVER, NC 28073 (ATTN: MARKETING DIRECTOR).

You and Sponsor each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. Each party agrees that it may not commence any arbitration or court proceeding unless you and Sponsor are unable to resolve the claim within 60 days after receipt of the demand for arbitration and the parties have made a good faith effort to resolve their claims directly during that time. If you or Sponsor are unable to resolve the claim within 60 days despite those good faith efforts, then either you or Sponsor may start an arbitration or small claims court proceeding. You and Sponsor agree that any dispute as to whether these conditions precedent have been satisfied will be decided in court and not by the arbitrator. Either you or Sponsor may elect to have an arbitration proceeding initiated by the other party adjudicated in small claims court by giving written notice of that election to the other party.

Arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, including the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness, (the “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. If JAMS fails or declines to conduct the arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint a different arbitration administrator but will not decide arbitrability or any other aspect of the parties’ dispute (except as outlined above or if either party elects to proceed in small claims court). Sponsor will pay or reimburse arbitration filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any claim asserted in an arbitration demand is deemed to be frivolous, the defending party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and any filing, administration, and arbitrator fees incurred. The arbitrator may award any individual relief a court of law could, including temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief on an individual basis.

If a court or arbitrator finds in any action between you and Sponsor that any part of this Mandatory Arbitration provision is unenforceable with respect to any claim, then the arbitration agreement and class action waiver will not apply to that claim, but they will still apply to any and all other claims that you or Sponsor may assert in that or any other action. If any provision of this Mandatory Arbitration provision is found unenforceable, the other parts of it shall continue to apply.
