DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: SPONSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, CONCERNING THIS GIVEAWAY OR PRIZES. SPONSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW ARE LIMITED IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE DURATION OF THE GIVEAWAY. IN NO EVENT WILL SPONSOR, IT AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OR OPERATION OF THIS PROMOTION BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. The above disclaimers do not apply in states where prohibited.
ARBITRATION NOTICE: Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of participating in this Giveaway, you agree as follows:
THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE. YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND YOU AND SPONSOR WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
Disputes: Agreement to Individual Arbitration Governing Law. EXCEPT FOR A CLAIM THAT MAY BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
Covered Disputes and Arbitration Requirement. Any and all disputes between you and Sponsor, including disputes arising from or relating to the Giveaway and/or these Terms, and including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect on the date the claim was filed, available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879. This arbitration agreement applies to any and all disputes occurring before or after this agreement and supersedes any previous arbitration agreements. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity, including public injunctive relief, and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the above, you or Sponsor can bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional limitations of such court.
Notwithstanding the above provision, neither you nor Sponsor shall be permitted to obtain awards, and all parties hereby waive all rights to claims, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys’ fees, other than your actual out-of-pocket expenses (i.e., costs associated with participating in this Giveaway). The parties further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.
Additionally, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement, except that this sentence shall not apply to the Class Action Waiver provisions described below. The arbitrator will render a decision in writing. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s decision/award. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Sponsor.
Governing Law. For purposes of this section, these Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (“FAA”).
Fees and Costs. Except for a demand determined by an arbitrator or court to be frivolous, brought in bad faith, or where the initiating party has failed to follow the pre-arbitration dispute resolution process below, Sponsor will pay the filing fees for both parties. The AAA consumer rules will otherwise apply to determine the costs and expenses due from each party. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay up to $1,000 of your attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration, if the arbitrator deems the payment of such amount is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.
Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, in the event 100 or more similar individual arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law firm or organization are submitted to AAA or another arbitration provider (if AAA is unavailable) against Sponsor within a 90-day period (or in otherwise close proximity), the arbitration provider shall (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 demands per batch (to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining demands); (ii) designate one arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide for a single filing fee due per side per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with Sponsor and AAA to implement such a “batch approach” or other similar approach to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of claims. This “Batch Arbitration” provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitration of any kind.
Location. At your election, the arbitration will take place in the county in which you reside or, if you choose, by telephone, video conference, or based on the parties’ written submissions.
Required Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60 days’ advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. Sponsor will provide such notice by e-mail to your e-mail address on file with Sponsor, and you must provide such notice by e-mail to rewards@sarkujapan.com. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle the dispute amicably by mutual discussions. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. This provision is a precondition to any arbitration demand, and any party making an arbitration demand must certify that it has complied with this requirement when filing an arbitration demand. The AAA may not accept any demand without this certification.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT ANY COVERED DISPUTE HEREUNDER WILL BE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE “BATCH ARBITRATION” PROVISION DESCRIBED ABOVE). NEITHER SPONSOR NOR YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE ANY COVERED DISPUTE AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR(S) WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE “BATCH ARBITRATION” PROVISION DESCRIBED ABOVE).
If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration).
Class Action Waiver. To fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Sponsor agree to bring any claim or dispute, whether in arbitration, or court as permitted by these terms, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. There shall be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitrator may award any remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in their individual capacity. Regardless of anything else in this Arbitration Agreement and/or the applicable JAMS rules, the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Class Action Waiver may only be determined by a court and not an arbitrator. This Class-Action Waiver will survive the termination of your relationship with Sponsor.
One-Year Time Limit to Raise Disputes or Claims. You agree that any dispute, claim or lawsuit, regardless of form, that may arise out of or related to the Giveaway, must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR of the action, omission, event or occurrence giving rise to the dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit. After the expiration of the one-year period, such dispute, claim(s) or lawsuit will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer period of time which may be provided by any period of limitation or pursuant to law or statute.
PRIVACY NOTICE. By registering with Sponsor’s website by making a purchase or by entering the Giveaway without purchase, such entrant may receive marketing materials, communications, and other materials from Sponsor and other companies whose products and services Sponsor believes might interest entrants at a future date.
GOVERNING LAW. New York law governs the operation of this Giveaway, these Official Rules, and the disclaimers made herein, regardless of another state’s choice of law principles.
FORCE MAJEURE. The failure of Sponsor to comply with any provision of these Official Rules due to an act of God, hurricane, war, terrorism, strikes, fire, riot, earthquake, epidemic/pandemic, including without limitation COVID-19, actions of governmental authorities outside the control of Sponsor, or other force majeure event shall not be considered a breach of these Official Rules.
