II. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

A. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT 

You agree that any and all claims, controversies or disputes (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) you may have against Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, Inc. (“LEYE”), any related entity or affiliate, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents (each such individual or entity, and LEYE, a “Lettuce Entity”), including any and all claims, controversies or disputes arising out of or relating in any way to these FDC Terms, Lettuce Frequent Diner Club Points, the Lettuce Frequent Diner Club, or your relationship with LEYE or a Lettuce Entity, and including any dispute regarding these FDC Terms or the enforceability, validity, legality, scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, including arbitrability (each, a “Lettuce Dispute”), will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in the following paragraphs. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted as broadly as possible, consistent with governing law, and to survive after your participation in the Lettuce Frequent Diner Club ends. Please read this paragraph carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how a Lettuce Dispute is resolved.   You agree that whenever you have a Lettuce Dispute, you will send a written notice to Lettuce (a “Demand”) describing the Lettuce Dispute. You must send the Demand to the following address (the “Notice Address”): Lettuce Legal Disputes, 5419 N. Sheridan Road, Suite 116, Chicago, Illinois 60640. You agree that you will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or instituting arbitration, until 30 business days after you send a Demand, except that, notwithstanding this provision and the provisions below, you may seek relief in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its jurisdiction. LEYE and any applicable Lettuce Entity agrees to toll the limitations period, if any, from the date the Demand is sent until the Date the Demand is resolved.    If the disagreement stated in the Demand is not resolved to your satisfaction within such 30 business days, the Lettuce Dispute:    (1) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (as may be amended; see www.adr.org for current rules) and as modified by the agreement to arbitrate in this paragraph.  (2) this Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.  (3) the arbitration shall be held in Chicago, Illinois, but may proceed telephonically, by video, or in another location if Chicago is not reasonably accessible, if both parties agree, or if the arbitrator otherwise deems it necessary.  (4) the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by these FDC Terms (including this Arbitration Agreement) and any of the other agreements referenced herein that the parties may have entered into.  (5) the arbitrator shall apply Illinois law, without regard to its choice of law or conflict of law rules or principles that would result in applying the law of any other jurisdiction, consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law.  (6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only your and/or the applicable Lettuce Entity or Lettuce Entities’ individual claims; the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of multiple persons or parties who may be similarly situated against the applicable Lettuce Entity or Lettuce Entities; Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any dispute over the enforceability of this subparagraph (6) shall be resolved by the Court.   (7) in the event that the fees and deposits required to initiate arbitration against any Lettuce Entity exceed $250, and you demonstrate to the applicable Lettuce Entity’s satisfaction in its reasonable discretion that you are unable (or not required under the rules of AAA) to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this amount, the applicable Lettuce Entity agrees to forward them on your behalf, subject to being reimbursed in whole or in part, as permitted, based on an ultimate allocation by the arbitrator. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate to the applicable Lettuce Entity’s satisfaction in its reasonable discretion that the costs of individual arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of individual litigation, the applicable Lettuce Entity will pay as much of those costs (but not attorney or other representation fees) in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. (8) with the exception of subparagraph (6) above, if any part of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of AAA, then the balance of this Arbitration Agreement shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subparagraph (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and neither you nor the affected Lettuce Entity shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. If the parties agree the AAA is unable to conduct the arbitration, you may file your case with another national arbitration company agreed upon by both parties. (9) If 10 or more claimants submit Lettuce Disputes or seek to file arbitrations raising similar claims and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel (whether such cases are pursued simultaneously or not) (each such claim, a “Coordinated Claim”), those Coordinated Claims must be resolved in staged proceedings. You agree to this process even though it may delay the arbitration of Your claim. In the first stage, Coordinated Claimants’ counsel and the applicable Lettuce Entity will each select an equal number of Coordinated Claims (up to the lesser of one-half of the similar claims each or 10 cases each (20 cases total)) to proceed in arbitration and resolved individually by different arbitrators. In the meantime, no other Coordinated Claims, cases, or Lettuce Disputes involving the same or similar subject matter may proceed in arbitration, and the AAA must not assess or demand payment of fees for the remaining Coordinated Claims or administer or accept them. If the AAA nonetheless assesses or demands payments of fees for the remaining Coordinated Claims, any such Claimants agree to dismiss their arbitration demands without prejudice, with the statute of limitations being tolled from the date of the dismissal. The arbitrators are encouraged to resolve the subset of selected cases within 120 days of appointment or as swiftly as possible thereafter, consistent with fairness to the parties. After the first stage is completed, the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining Coordinated Claims, and the applicable Lettuce Entity will pay the mediation fee. If the parties cannot agree how to resolve any of the remaining Coordinated Claims after mediation, the parties will repeat the process of selecting and filing up to 20 Coordinated Claims to be resolved individually by different arbitrators, followed by mediation. If any Coordinated Claims remain after the second stage, the process will be repeated until all Coordinated Claims are resolved, with four differences. First, a total of 50 cases may be filed in the third and later stages. Second, the cases will be randomly selected. Third, arbitrators who decided cases in the first two stages may be appointed in later stages if different arbitrators are not available. Fourth, mediation is optional at the election of counsel for the Coordinated Claimants. Between stages, counsel will meet and confer regarding ways to improve the efficiency of the staged proceedings, including whether to increase the number of cases filed in each stage. Either party may also negotiate with the AAA regarding the amount or timing of AAA fees. This Section concerning arbitration of Coordinated Claims and each of its requirements are intended to be severable from the rest of this Arbitration Agreement. If the provisions relating to the staging process are severed, then the claims may be filed in individual arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement except that the payment of AAA Fees will be assessed as the arbitrations advance and arbitrators are appointed rather than when arbitrations are initiated. (10) If you do not wish to be subject to this Arbitration Agreement, you may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement. To do so, within 30 days of the date that this Arbitration Agreement is accepted by you, you must send a written notice to the Notice Address stating your intent to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, as well as your name, address, and the email associated with your account. If you do not opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the 30-day period, you and LEYE and the applicable Lettuce Entity shall be bound by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.   

B. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

Separate and apart from the Arbitration Agreement set forth above and to the maximum extent permitted by law, you hereby independently waive any right to bring or participate in any class action, class arbitration, private attorney general action, or other representative action, however denominated, in any way related to any Lettuce Dispute.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST LEYE OR ANY LETTUCE ENTITY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  YOU HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTIONS, SUITS, OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE FDC TERMS. C. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY UNLESS REQUIRED BY GOVERNING STATE LAW, LEYE AND THE LETTUCE ENTITIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LETTUCE FREQUENT DINER CLUB, EVEN IF ANY OR ALL OF THE LETTUCE ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT GOVERNING STATE LAW DISALLOWS THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE PRECEDING LIMITATION ON LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  IN THAT EVENT, IF A REGISTERED PARTICIPANT PROVES THAT LEYE OR ANY LETTUCE ENTITY HAS IMPROPERLY DENIED SUCH REGISTERED PARTICIPANT ANY REWARD, LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE EQUIVALENT REWARD. 

D. Contractual Limitations Period

BY PARTICIPATING IN THE LETTUCE FREQUENT DINER CLUB, YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO BRING ANY ARBITRATION, CLAIM, OR ACTION AGAINST LEYE OR ANY LETTUCE ENTITY IN ANY FORUM MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE ACT, EVENT, CONDITION, OCCURRENCE, OR OMISSION UPON WHICH THE CLAIM OR ACTION IS BASED, UNLESS LEYE OR THE APPLICABLE LETTUCE ENTITY AGREES OTHERWISE, OR UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY LAW.
