Notwithstanding this Individual Arbitration Agreement ,any Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunction to ensure that the relief sought in arbitration is not rendered ineffectual during the pendency of, or after the rendition of, a decision in any arbitration proceeding. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a Party contests the jurisdiction of a state or federal court to preside over claims for a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunctive relief as described above, the court in which such claim is made shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether it has jurisdiction to preside over and rule upon a Party’s request for the court to issue a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary in junction.

Notwithstanding the for going sentence, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you shall be responsible for all additional fees and costs incurred in the arbitration, including your attorney and expert witness fees and costs.
Bellwether Arbitration Procedures: Notwithstanding any provision of the JAMS Rules, these bellwether procedures shall be used when more than 10 arbitration cases pending at the same time present substantially similar or overlapping allegations off act or law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, a court of competent jurisdiction, and not JAMSor an arbitrator, shall resolve any dispute over whether these bell wether procedures apply to any group of claims.
The Parties recognize and agree that a large number of arbitration cases with similar allegations will impose excessive transaction costs regardless of the cases’ merit or lack of merit. TheParties also recognize and agree that it is logistically difficult or impossible to arbitrate simultaneously large numbers of substantially similar cases. The Parties therefore agree to use bellwether litigation procedures similar to those that courts use in mass-tort cases, based on the judiciary’s experience that, after one or a few cases are tried to verdict, most or all of the other cases settle or otherwise resolve themselves.
The Parties thus agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no more than10 cases/arbitrations will be active at any one time. All remaining cases will be stayed, with the statute of limitations tolled. TheParties understand and agree that if these bellwether arbitration procedures apply, then adjudication of the Dispute may be delayed. Unless the Dispute resolves in advance, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the arbitrator(s) shall render their final and binding decision in any Dispute subject to these bellwether procedures within 180 days of the initial pre-hearing conference.
As soon as one of the original active cases is resolved (by decision, settlement, or otherwise), a stayed arbitration shall replace it on the list of 10 active cases/arbitrations. Except as provided below, cases shall be placed on or moved to the active list in the order in which demands for arbitration are first received. Until a case is on or is moved to the list of 10 active cases, the sum any Party paid to initiate a case shall be refunded, and no Party shall have any obligation to pay any JAMS or arbitrator fees.
If you claim exceptional hardship from any delay pursuant to this bellwether procedure, you may petition Company to waive the 10-case limit for that case. If Company does not agree, you may petition JAMS to place the arbitration on the list of 10 active cases, on the ground that delay will impose exceptional hardship. If JAMS finds exceptional hardship and grants the petition, JAMS shall (based on its determination of relative hardship)remove one other case from the list of 10 active cases/arbitrations and place it at the head of the list of stayed cases. Under no circumstances shall JAMS place more than 10 cases/arbitrations into active status. If more than 10hardship applications are granted, JAMS shall determine which 10cases/arbitrations shall proceed first, based on its determination of relative hardship.
If you do not want to be subject to this Individual Arbitration Agreement, you may opt out by notifying Company in writing of your desire to opt out within thirty(30) days of your execution of the Individual Arbitration Agreement. Acceptable forms of notice include sending an email to
