BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER (U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY)

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITES, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty concerns a transaction in interstate or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply.

To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and Wilson, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the American Arbitration Association, at which point Wilson will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. Wilson waives its right to recover attorneys’ fees in connection with any arbitration under these Terms of Use. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees as the arbitrator may determine.

The dispute will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA. The place of arbitration will be Cook County, Illinois, or your county of residence (if in the United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither you nor Wilson nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this warranty without the prior written consent of you and Wilson.

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. WILSON AND YOU AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.

EXCEPTIONS TO BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THEN: (1) you must notify Wilson in writing within sixty (60) days of the date that you purchased the Product; (2) your written notification must be mailed to Wilson at 1 Prudential Plaza, 130 E. Randolph Street, Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60601, Attn: Legal Department; and (3) your written notification must include (a) your name, (b) your address, (c) the date you purchased the product, and (d) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver. In addition, you may pursue an individual claim in small claims court in your county of residence or in Cook County, Illinois. In such case the provisions of the section titled “Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver” will not apply, but the rules and limitations of the small claims court shall apply.
