Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.

Excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, for claims related to the website or apps, including any goods or services purchased through the website, any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including without limitation, any and all disputes, claims (whether in tort, contract, statutory or otherwise) or disagreements concerning the existence, breach, interpretation, application or termination of this Agreement shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with the JAMS Inc. Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect.  There shall be no right or authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis.  The arbitration shall take place in Las Vegas, Nevada or at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or via written submissions alone, and be administered by JAMS.  The arbitral tribunal (“Tribunal”) shall be composed of one arbitrator, who shall be independent and impartial.  If the parties fail to agree on the arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days after the initiation of an arbitration hereunder, JAMS shall appoint the arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.  The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties.  Judgment on any award(s) rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking immediate injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all confidential information, all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by the other party in the proceedings and not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority. The arbitrator shall award all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to the prevailing party.  Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Members may choose to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate by mailing a written opt-out notice (“Notice”) to Palms. The Notice must be postmarked no later than thirty (30) days after the date you accept this Agreement for the first time. The Notice must be mailed to 674 E.
