DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL.

You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Service or to any aspect of your relationship with us, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of such dispute, controversy, or claim except that (1) you or we may assert claims in small claims court, but only if the claims qualify, the claims remain only in such court, and the claims remain on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis; and (2) you or we may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

You and we both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration, small claims court proceeding, or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement. You must initiate this dispute resolution process by sending a letter describing the nature of your claim and desired resolution to: 2990 Brandywine Road, Suite 300 Atlanta, Georgia 30341. You and we agree to meet and confer personally, by telephone, or by videoconference (hereinafter “Conference”) to discuss the dispute and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that avoids the expenses of arbitration or, where applicable, litigation. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the Conference. Likewise, if we are represented by counsel, our counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but we agree to have a company representative fully participate in the Conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while you and we engage in the informal dispute resolution process and Conference. If you and we do not reach agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after initiation of this dispute resolution process, either you or we may commence arbitration or, provided such claims qualify, file an action in small claims court or file a claim for injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction for matters relating to intellectual property infringement.

If the arbitration provision applies or you choose arbitration to resolve your disputes, then either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent to begin arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will arbitrate all disputes. For claims of less than $75,000, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, if the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay AAA filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from AAA, we will pay them for you if you complied with the Informal Dispute Resolution Process set forth above. In addition, we will reimburse all such AAA filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $75,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or you did not comply with the Informal Dispute Resolution process set forth above, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the AAA Rules for arbitration claims initiated by you. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses. For claims that total more than $75,000, the payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules.

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator shall 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. In addition, for claims under $75,000 as to which you followed the Informal Dispute Resolution Process before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek an award of attorneys' fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: CLASS ACTION WAIVER

WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, then the Arbitration Agreement will be void as to you.

Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party's claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and we agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection's limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in accordance with the Governing Law, Venue and Jurisdiction, and Court Proceedings described this Arbitration Agreement.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL WAIVER

YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in this Arbitration Agreement. An arbitrator can award, on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION, AND COURT PROCEEDINGS

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or videoconference, based on written submissions, in person in your hometown area (if you live in the United States), or at another mutually agreed upon location that is reasonably convenient to you. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Except to the extent preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law and as otherwise described herein, this agreement is governed by the laws of Georgia without regard to choice of law principles, conflicts of laws rules, or your actual state of residence. For any claim that proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial and any claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Unless otherwise specified herein, any Disputes of a legal nature, whether a claim, complaint, arbitration demand, or otherwise that is not subject to the mandatory arbitration provision, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located within Atlanta, Georgia.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: REGISTERED AGENT INFORMATION

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: MISCELLANEOUS

Severability. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this Arbitration Provision shall be unenforceable.

Survivability. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination, payoff or transfer of this contract.

Modifications to this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to us at the following address:

Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution provision (except for the jury trial waiver above) by notifying NFHS Network of that intent during the Opt-Out Period stating that you are opting out of this dispute resolution provision:

Exercising this right, should you choose to do so, will not affect these Terms of Use with NFHS Network, and you may remain a user. If you opt out of the dispute resolution provision, that opt out will remain in effect if NFHS Network modifies this section in the future or you agree to a new term under these Terms of Use. If you enter into a new agreement with NFHS that includes a dispute resolution provision and you want to opt out of that provision, you will need to follow the instructions in that agreement for opting out.

If for any reason this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, or if you opt out of this dispute resolution agreement, you and NFHS Network expressly and knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This means that a Judge rather than a Jury will decide disputes between you and NFHS Network if, for any reason, the arbitration agreement is not enforced.

Survival. The dispute resolution provision survives the termination of your use of any Services. If you bring a claim against NFHS Network after termination of your account that is based in whole or in part on events or omissions that occurred while you were an NFHS Network customer, this dispute resolution provision shall apply.

You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any court of competent jurisdiction in Atlanta, Georgia, with respect to any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use. If any provision or provisions of these terms shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the law of any jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.
