10. Disputes and Agreement to Individual Arbitration
Please read this section carefully. It affects legal rights that you may otherwise have and requires individual final and binding arbitration of most disputes instead of resolution in court. Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to a neutral arbitrator, instead of a judge or jury, for a final and binding decision, known as an “award.” Arbitration provides for more limited discovery than in court, is subject to limited review by courts, and the result is confidential. Each party has an opportunity to present evidence to the arbitrator in writing or through witnesses. An arbitrator can only award the same damages and relief that a court can award under the law and must honor the terms and conditions in this Agreement.
Except with respect to principles of conflicts of laws, any dispute arising from these Terms and Conditions, or from any use of a Hooters Gift Card, shall be resolved in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia, in Atlanta, GA.
Before any formal dispute is commenced, the party with a dispute must first provide notification to the other party of the potential dispute and allow a 30-day period in which the parties will attempt to informally resolve any dispute before any formal dispute can commence.
Arbitration Provision: If the issue cannot be resolved informally, the parties hereto agree that any formal dispute relating to a Hooters Gift Card will proceed in individual arbitration. This means that neither party will have the right to litigation of their claim in court or have a jury trial on that claim, and further, this means that arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class wide basis or to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The party filing an arbitration demand can elect to do so through JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (www.adr.org), by following the instructions for initiating an individual arbitration under the rules applicable to consumer arbitrations. Upon written request, CashStar and/or Hooters will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of all or part of a consumer’s share of any arbitration fees. Waivers may also be available from JAMS or AAA.
This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as it may be amended (“FAA”), and the applicable Code.
Nothing in this provision precludes an individual consumer from filing and pursuing an individual claim in small claims court in that consumer’s state or municipality, so long as the claim is pending only in that court.
This agreement to arbitrate extends to claims that you assert against other parties, including without limit claims against Hooters, CashStar, their parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, franchisees and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and service providers.
This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any part of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid or inapplicable, the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate shall still be considered valid and enforceable. If any part of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid or inapplicable, you and Issuer both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class, mass, consolidated, or combined basis.
11. Fraud and Illegal Activity
Hooters reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deactivate and/or reject any Hooters Gift Cards sold by unauthorized sellers, obtained through illegal or fraudulent means or which have been involved in any illegal and/or fraudulent activity.
Hooters also reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to: 1) require you to present your identification, a valid PIN and/or proof of purchase prior to accepting and redeeming any Hooters Gift Cards; and 2) deactivate and/or reject any Hooters Gift Cards as a result of your failure and/or inability to present your identification, PIN and/or proof of purchase of any Hooters Gift Cards.
Hooters also reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject all Hooters Gift Card purchases in excess of $100.00 if it suspects fraud and/or illegal activity or if the purchases violate any policies that Hooters may establish from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion.
12. Investigations
Hooters reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to fully and completely investigate all allegations of fraud and/or illegal activity regarding your purchase and use of any Hooters Gift Cards. As part of any such investigation, Hooters may conduct a lawful criminal background check and/or perform internet and social media account searches on you as necessary. You agree to fully cooperate with Hooters related to any such investigation as requested by Hooters without expectation of remuneration.
YOU ALSO AGREE TO RELEASE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HAMRLESS HOOTERS, CASHSTAR, THEIR PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, FRANCHISEES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS, LOSSES AND DAMAGES RELATED TO AND/OR INVOLVING ANY SUCH INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY HOOTERS AS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND/OR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND COOPERATION IN ANY SUCH INVESTIGATIONS.
