By participating in the Promotion, Entrants hereby acknowledge that they have read and accepted the Sponsor’s privacy policy.

14) DISPUTES AND GOVERNING LAW: Entrant agrees that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise relating in any way to or arising out of or relating to the Sweepstakes, the Official Rules, the prize, or the Sponsor's and/or Administrator's or Sponsor’s respective Privacy Policies will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Disputes and Governing Law section. Entrant must read this section carefully. It affects Entrant’s rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims Entrant and Released Entities have against each other are resolved. Entrant agrees that whenever he or she has a disagreement with a Released Entity arising out of, connected to, or in any way related to the Sweepstakes, the Official Rules, the prize, or the Sponsor's and/or Administrator's Privacy Policy, Entrant will send a written notice to the Sponsor (“Demand”). Entrant agrees that the requirements of this Disputes and Governing Law section will apply even to disagreements that may have arisen before Entrant accepted these Official Rules or the Sponsor's and/or Administrator's Privacy Policy. Entrant must send the Demand to the following address (the “Notice Address”): Dave’s Hot Chicken Franchise Co., 600 Playhouse Alley, Suite #504, Pasadena, California, 91101, Attention; Legal Department. Entrant agrees that Entrant will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until ten (10) business days after Entrant’s Demand is received by Sponsor. If the disagreement stated in the Demand is not resolved to Entrant’s satisfaction within ten (10) business days after it is received, and Entrant intends on taking legal action, Entrant agrees that it will file a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitrator”). This arbitration provision limits the ability of Entrant and Released Entities to litigate claims in court and Entrant and Released Entities each agree to waive their respective rights to a jury trial or a state or federal judge. Entrant agrees that it will not file any lawsuit against the Released Entities in any state or federal court. Entrant agrees that if it does sue in state or federal court, and Released Entities bring a successful motion to compel arbitration, Entrant must pay all fees and costs incurred by Released Entities in court, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. For any such filing of a demand for arbitration, Entrant must effect proper service under the rules of the Arbitrator and notice to the Notice Address may not be sufficient. If, for any reason, the American Arbitration Association is unable to conduct the arbitration, Entrant may file its case with any national arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules effective March 6, 2023 (and as may be company amended) and as modified by the agreement to arbitrate in this Dispute Resolution section. Entrant agrees that the Arbitrator will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute it has with a Released Entity. The Federal Arbitration Act allows for the enforcement of arbitration agreements and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate. The place of arbitration shall be Orange County, California. Entrant agrees that it will not file a class action or collective action against Released Entities, and that Entrant will not participate in a class action or collective action against them. Entrant agrees that it will not join its claims to those of any other person. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Official Rules, or the Sponsor's and/or Administrator's Privacy Policy, if this class action waiver is invalidated, then the agreement to arbitrate is null and void, as though it were never entered into, and any arbitration dispute at that time will be dismissed without prejudice and may be refiled in a court. Under no circumstances does Entrant or Released Entities agree to class or collective procedures in arbitration or the joinder of claims in arbitration. Released Entities will submit all disputes with Entrant to arbitration before the Arbitrator. Under no circumstances shall entrant be permitted to obtain an award for, and entrants hereby waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, lost profits, civil penalties, consequential, or any other damages other than actual out-of-pocket costs. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the Entrant and Released Entities in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. This arbitration provision shall survive conclusion, modification, or termination of the Sweepstakes and suspension, revocation, closure, modification, or amendments to the Official Rules, and any aspect of the relationship of the parties relating to or arising from participation in the Sweepstakes.
