Mandatory Arbitration
YOU AGREE THAT WITH RESPECT TO ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US OR OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OR EMPLOYEES (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, YOU AND US SHALL FIRST CONSULT WITH EACH OTHER TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTE IN A MANNER SATISFACTORY TO BOTH PARTIES, AND THAT IF A RESOLUTION IS NOT REACHED WITHIN ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY (180) DAYS, THEN THE DISPUTE SHALL BE REFERRED TO AND RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER JAMS, INC.'S RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE IN ANY MANNER VIOLATED OR THREATENED TO VIOLATE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WE MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE RELIEF IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
As an alternative, You may bring Your claim in Your local "small claims" court, if permitted by that small claims court's rules and if within such court's jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court. You may bring claims only on Your own behalf. Neither You nor We will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate.

This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event JAMS, INC. is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either We or You can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned.
You agree that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, any arbitration proceeding between You and Us will be conducted in Kent County, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and that the language of the arbitration shall be in English, and that all arbitration proceedings shall be considered confidential in nature.
If You don't want to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this section, You must notify Us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that You first accept these Terms of Service (unless a longer period is required by applicable law), and then You must litigate any disputes against Us in accordance with the "Assignment and Jurisdiction" section below.
Your written notification must be mailed to Us at Casual Simulation Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1740 44th ST SW STE 5 Wyoming, MI 49519 or by email notification at hello@casualsimulation.org. If You do not notify Us in accordance with this paragraph, You agree to be bound by the terms of this section, including, without limitation, the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions, and also including such provisions in any modifications We make to these Terms of Service after the date of Your first acceptance. Such notification must include: (i) Your name; (ii) Your email address and mailing address; and (iii) a statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration or waive Your ability to participate in a class action. If We make any changes to this section (other than a change to the address at which We will receive notices or rejections of future changes to this section), You may reject any such change by sending Us written notice, within thirty (30) days of the change, to the address set out in the "Notices" section. It is not necessary to send Us a rejection of a future change to this section if You had properly opted out within the first thirty (30) days after You first accepted the provisions in this section. If You have not properly opted out, then by rejecting a future change, You are agreeing that You will arbitrate any dispute between Us in accordance with the language of this section, as modified by any changes You did not reject. A notification sent pursuant to this paragraph solely affects these Terms of Service; if You previously entered into other arbitration or dispute resolution agreements with Us or enter into other such agreements in the future, Your notification that You are opting out of the provisions in this section shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between You and us.
