INDEMNIFICATION AND RELEASE. If there is a dispute between users of BB, including between Consumers and Retailers, you understand and agree that BB and its affiliates are under no obligation to become involved in such a dispute. You agree to indemnify and hold BB and its affiliates (and their respective owners, directors, managers, officers, partners, employees, independent contractors, agents, successors and assigns) harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, awards, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and court costs) known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed arising out of or

You hereby release and forever discharge BB (and its owners, directors, managers, officers, partners, employees, independent contractors, agents, and successors and assigns of itself or its affiliates) from, and hereby waive and relinquish your rights with respect to, each and every past, present, and future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action, and cause of action of every kind and nature (including personal injuries, death, and property damage), arising out of or relating to any interactions with, or act or omission of, other Websites or Services or Third-Party Materials. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. THIS SECTION GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND BUD ARE RESOLVED, AND REQUIRES THAT DISPUTES BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. PLEASE REVIEW THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS OR OTHER COLLECTIVE ACTIONS. OVERVIEW OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS. BB is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these TOU provide for a two-part process: (i) an informal negotiation directly with BB customer service team; and (ii) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). PRE-ARBITRATION DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND NOTIFICATION. In the event a dispute arises out of or relates to these TOU, the Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, or your use of BB, you and BB, in good faith, agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute directly between the parties through informal direct discussions prior to the initiation of arbitration. If, after a good faith effort to negotiate, either you or BB feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. In the event we cannot resolve a dispute through direct informal discussions, you and BB (collectively, the “Parties”) mutually agree that any dispute, claim, counterclaim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these TOU— including the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof—or the use of BB (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to a Dispute, the Parties mutually agree that the arbitrator will decide this issue.
EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. The Parties mutually agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; and (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances. Filing of claims subject to these exceptions shall not be deemed a waiver of either your or BB’s right under the Arbitration Agreement to have all other Disputes determined by individual arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Arbitration Agreement.
ARBITRATION RULES AND GOVERNING LAW. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The Parties acknowledge and agree to waive the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
NO CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS. The Parties acknowledge and agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, collective action, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Unless the Parties both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties, or otherwise preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “collective action” waiver or the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and the Parties agree that any collective claims and private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
SEVERABILITY / NO WAIVER. Except as provided above with respect to the “class action lawsuit” or “class-wide arbitration” waivers, if any provision of the Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
SURVIVAL PAST TERMINATION. Unless superseded by a later arbitration agreement between the Parties, this Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of these TOU.
