9. Mandatory Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

SET FORTH BELOW IS THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER FOR DISPUTES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM (“Arbitration Agreement”).

If any Participant has any problem in connection with the Program, such Participant should first contact the Mets at [email protected] to attempt to resolve the matter quickly and amicably. Any dispute not resolved informally in such a manner must be resolved in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement.

Unless prohibited by federal law, each Participant and the Mets agree to arbitrate, through binding arbitration, the following in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement (collectively, “Arbitration Claims”): (a) all claims or disputes relating in any way to (i) the Program, (ii) the Terms, (iii) Participant’s use of or participation in any Reward, including (without limitation) any claims of bodily injury, death, or property damage arising out of Participant’s participation in the Program or use of or participation in any Reward awarded in connection with the Program, and (iv) the validity, scope or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and (b) any and all claims against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, Arbitration Claims may not include claims arising out of any other written agreement executed by Participant and the Mets. This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ch. 1 (“FAA”), and not by state law.

In connection with any Arbitration Claim to be resolved by arbitration hereunder, neither Participant nor the Mets will be able to have a court or jury trial decide any such Arbitration Claims or participate in a class action or class arbitration relating to such Arbitration Claims. Other rights that Participant and the Mets would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. Participant and the Mets each understand and agree that by requiring each other to resolve all disputes through individual arbitration, EACH PARTY IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL AND ALL DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties.

Arbitrations subject to this Arbitration Agreement will be administered by JAMS in accordance with its then-existing comprehensive arbitration rules and procedures. Participant may obtain information about arbitration, arbitration procedures, and fees from JAMS by calling (800) 352-5267 or visiting www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator the parties both agree upon in writing or that is appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the FAA. The arbitration will take place in New York, New York. The arbitration will be presided over by a single arbitrator, who will be selected in accordance with the rules that, as specified above, will govern the arbitration. The arbitrator will be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in court, provided that the arbitrator’s authority is limited to Participant and the Mets alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. The arbitrator will award the costs and fees of the arbitration, including reasonable attorney and expert witness fees, to the prevailing party. No arbitration decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. This Arbitration Agreement will take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Participant and the Mets may seek relief in a small claims court for Arbitration Claims within its jurisdiction. In addition, Participant and the Mets each may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of the Program or the Terms and/or the bankruptcy or insolvency of a party (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

Prior to bringing a claim under the Arbitration Agreement, the party seeking to bring the claim (the “Claimant”) shall give the other party or parties written notice of the Arbitration Claim (a “Claim Notice”) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than thirty (30) days, to resolve the Arbitration Claim. Any Claim Notice to the Mets shall be sent by mail to: New York Mets, Attn: Legal Department, Re: Mets Loyalty Program Claim Notice, 41 Seaver Way, Flushing, New York 11368. Any Claim Notice must (i) identify the Claimant by name, address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) explain the nature of the Arbitration Claim and the relief demanded; and (iii) be submitted only on behalf of the Claimant, and not on behalf of any other party. The Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Arbitration Claim that the other party reasonably requests and must give the other party a reasonable opportunity to respond to the demand for relief.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the dispute involves: (i) Participant’s failure to pay any amounts due and/or (ii) Participant’s failure to participate in the arbitration in good faith, or frustrates the arbitration process and/or the arbitration process reaches an impasse, then as a result of any of the foregoing, the Mets, at its sole option, shall be relieved from this Arbitration Agreement and may immediately proceed with any legal action, suit or proceeding in the State Courts of New York located, in the Mets’ discretion, in Queens County or New York County. Participant expressly and irrevocably accepts and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts in personam and waives any claim that such forum is inconvenient, inappropriate or any similar claim.

Participant further acknowledges and agrees that if the Mets are forced to proceed under the immediately preceding paragraph with respect to any dispute, such dispute is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues. Accordingly, Participant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation contemplated hereunder.
