SECTION 26: ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT:

Any controversy or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in any way relating to the Terms of Service, with the exception of those controversies or claims specifically excluded in the following paragraph, shall be settled by a single arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in connection with AAA rules. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held within a fifty-mile radius of New York, NY.

You and Fantasy Sports Knockout® agree that the following types of disputes are not subject to this binding arbitration provision: (1) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of either any of your intellectual property rights or Fantasy Sports Knockout®’s intellectual property rights; (2) any claim for injunctive relief; and (3) any type of dispute that is not eligible for arbitration based upon the applicable law of New York as governs these Terms.

The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

In addition, you and Fantasy Sports Knockout® agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND FANTASY SPORTS KNOCKOUT® AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: admin@fantasysportsknockout.com. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Service. Otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, FANTASY SPORTS KNOCKOUT® also will not be bound by them.

You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

SECTION 28: WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY OF TERMS

The failure of Fantasy Sports Knockout® to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
