Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND COMPANY TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY OF A JURY TRIAL

Arbitration:  Both you and Company agree to resolve by binding arbitration any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory) arising out of or in connection with or relating to (1) the Website, your use of the Website, or the information that you provide Company in connection with your use of the Website, or (2) this Terms of Use, including without limitation, the validity, interpretation, enforcement, or application of this Terms of Use and/or this Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law section (collectively, “Claims”).  Both you and Company further agree that the arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine all additional threshold arbitrability issues, including without limitation issues relating to whether this Terms of Use is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Class Action Waiver: YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.   Any determination about the validity, interpretation, enforcement, and/or application of this Class Action Waiver paragraph is delegated to the arbitrator.

Jury Trial Waiver:  YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Arbitration Procedure: A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the Claim to the other party by certified mail or Federal Express, or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice“). Our address for notice is: Attn: General Counsel, Churchill Downs Incorporated, 600 N. Hurstbourne Parkway, Suite 400, Louisville, KY 40222 or via email at [email protected].  You and Company agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the Claim, but if the parties do not resolve the Claim within 30 days of the Notice, then either party may commence arbitration.  Any arbitration between you and Company shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (collectively, “JAMS Rules“), as modified by these Terms of Use. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, or by contacting Company.  Unless you and Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Jefferson County, Kentucky before a single neutral arbitrator.  If your claim is for less than $10,000, Company will reimburse your filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If your claim is for greater than $10,000, the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the JAMS Rules.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding and final on all parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Exceptions: Notwithstanding anything else in this [Agreement] to the contrary, you and Company both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, provided that is the sole form of relief sought, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

Governing Law / Forum Selection: The parties agree that these Terms of Use evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) and AAA Rules will govern interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law section where applicable.  All other claims, disputes, or controversies will be resolved under United States Federal law or the laws of the Kentucky, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.  For any claims, disputes or controversies that are not subject to mandatory arbitration under this section, you and Company agree that (i) the Thirtieth District Court of Kentucky will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of the claim, dispute or controversy, and you and Company irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of Thirtieth District Court of Kentucky, and (ii) litigation of any claim, dispute, or controversy proceeding in court will be stayed pending the outcome of any related individual Claim in arbitration.

Survival: This Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law section will survive any termination or expiration of this Terms of Use.

Changes and Opt-out: You may opt out of the applicability of this Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law section by providing Company a written opt-out notice within 30 days of the “Effective Date” above.  This written notice must be provided by mail to: Attn: General Counsel, Churchill Downs Incorporated, 600 N. Hurstbourne Parkway, Suite 400, Louisville, KY 40222.  In order to be effective, this notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject the changes to these Terms of Use.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any clause or provision of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent without affecting the enforceability of all remaining clauses or provisions of the Terms of Use such that the remaining clauses or provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

The Terms of Use constitutes the sole and entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral.
