• Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in any way related to these terms and conditions or any transaction on this Website which cannot be amicably resolved by the parties shall be solely and finally settled by confidential arbitration administered by the Washington Arbitration and Mediation Service in accordance with its then in effect commercial arbitration rules.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitration shall take place before a single arbitrator sitting in Seattle, Washington.  If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator, each party will designate an arbitrator and the arbitration will be held before a third arbitrator selected by the arbitrators designated by the parties.  The arbitrators will be bound to adjudicate all disputes in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be in writing with written findings of fact and shall be final and binding on the Parties.  The arbitrator shall be empowered to award money damages, but shall not be empowered to award consequential damages, indirect damages, special damages, exemplary damages, punitive damages or specific performance.  In the event of any action or proceeding at law or in equity between the parties to enforce any of the provisions these terms and conditions, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding shall pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such successful party.  This section provides the sole recourse for the settlement of any disputes arising out of, in connection with, or related to these terms and conditions.

In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR AWAKE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
