22. ARBITRATION, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY WAIVER

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THAT YOU AND LPH AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. In this Section 22 (the “Arbitration Agreement”), You and LPH agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of Let’sPlayHoops that cannot be resolved in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and LPH are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. To be clear: the phrase “all claims and disputes” also includes claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms. In addition, all disputes concerning the arbitrability of a claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

b. Arbitration Rules. The parties agree that any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of, or relating to, this agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be resolved through final and binding Arbitration to be administrated by (“NAM”) National Arbitration and Mediation and governed by NAM’s Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time such claim is filed. Any award of the Arbitrator is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum, and if they cannot agree, will ask the court to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

c. Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

d. Fees. If you have a question about the arbitration process or to obtain a current copy of the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or fee schedule, NAM’s Commercial Dept. can be contacted at (800) 358-2550 or by NAM’s website at www.namadr.com. If LPH is the party initiating an arbitration against you, LPH will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you are the party initiating an arbitration against LPH, you will be responsible for the first $100 toward the nonrefundable Initial Filing Fee, and LPH will pay the remainder of your Initial Filing fee and both parties’ Administrative Fee.

e. Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and LPH. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Snap.

f. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND LPH WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and LPH are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and LPH over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND LPH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

g. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or NAM Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 22.

h. Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

i. Opt-out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor LPH can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify LPH in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and the email address you used to set up your Let’sPlayHoops account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must either mail your opt-out notice to this address: Let’s Play Hoops LLC., 418 Broadway, STE R, Albany , NY 12207, or email the opt-out notice to info@letsplayhoops.com.

j. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or LPH may bring an individual action in small claims court.

k. Arbitration Agreement Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with LPH.

23. LIMITATION ON CLAIMS

YOU AND LPH ENTITY AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF LET’S PLAY HOOPS MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE BY LAW, LET'S PLAY HOOPS’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH LET’S PLAY HOOPS OR YOUR USE OF THE CONTENT OR SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE), WILL NOT EXCEED $100.

No waiver of any of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

24. EXCLUSIVE VENUE

To the extent that these Terms allow you or LPH to initiate litigation in a court, both you and LPH agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of Let’sPlayHoops will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all such claims and disputes will be litigated exclusively in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Kings. You and LPH consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.

25. CHOICE OF LAW

Except to the extent they are preempted by U.S. federal law, the laws of New York, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise) arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter.

26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND SEVERABILITY

Unless otherwise specified herein, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to your use of Let'sPlayHoops and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

27. ASSIGNMENT

These Terms, and any rights and/or licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be transferred or assigned by us without restriction.
