Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.

You and RRC Washington agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). The JAMS Rules and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards, the latter effective July 15, 2009, are available at https://jamsadr.com. Arbitration will be handled by a sole, neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.

The place of arbitration will be Spokane, WA, but if you prefer a hearing in or closer to your hometown area, you and RRC Washington will confer in good faith in order to identify a reasonable alternative location. Each of the parties shall cooperate in good faith in the discovery or exchange of nonprivileged information relevant to the dispute as necessary in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim, and the award will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. You and RRC Washington shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, you and RRC Washington will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, or if the Claim relates to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, pending a final decision by the arbitrator.
