9. Complaints and Dispute Resolution

   9.1. Send your concerns to us on abm@activision.com and we will try our best to resolve them quickly.

   9.2. If you are a resident of the USA see section 10 below.

    

10. For residents of the United States - BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

    10.1. The BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions in this section 10 apply to you if you are domiciled in and/or participated in the Competition in the United States. See JURISDICTION AND APPLICABLE LAW below for details. (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.). The BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS WAIVER is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) ("FAA") and federal arbitration law.

    10.2. The BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions in this section 10 apply to all Disputes between you and Activision and/or Activision’s Affiliates relating to Competition. Section 10 also applies to any Dispute (as defined below) between you and any Activision Affiliates, each of which is an intended third-party beneficiary of section 10.

    10.3. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you and we agree to submit all Disputes between us to individual, binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions in this section 12. A "Dispute" means any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) between you and Activision and/or Activision’s Affiliates that in any way relates to or arises from any aspect of our relationship, including, without limitation, your engagement or attempted engagement with the Competition, all marketing related to the Competition, and all matters relating to or arising from these Competition Rules, including any Disputes over the validity or enforceability of these Competition Rules to arbitrate. A Dispute shall be subject to these BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions regardless of whether it is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), warranty or any other legal or equitable theory. This includes Disputes, claims, or requests for relief arising at any time, including those that accrued before you entered into these Competition Rules. You understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration and that court review of an arbitration award is limited.

    10.4. Initial Dispute Resolution: Most concerns are quickly resolved in this manner to our customers' satisfaction. In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any Dispute between you and Activision and/or Activision’s Affiliates, you agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before either party initiates any arbitration or court proceeding (the "Initial Dispute Resolution Period"). That period begins upon receipt of written notice from the party raising the Dispute. If Activision has a Dispute with you, it will send notice of that Dispute to your billing address and email address you have provided to us. If you have a Dispute with Activision and/or Activision’s Affiliates, you must notify us in writing at the following email address: abm@activision.com, using the subject line "Initial Dispute Resolution Notice". Your notice of Dispute must be individual to you and must include your name and email address associated with the Competition. The notice of Dispute also must describe the Dispute, explain the facts of the Dispute as you understand them, and tell Activision what you want us to do to resolve the problem. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any Dispute directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, and you agree that a notice of Dispute containing all of the information required above, followed by at least 30 days of good faith negotiation, are preconditions to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. A notice of Dispute will not be valid, will not start the Initial Dispute Resolution Period, and will not allow you or Activision later to initiate a lawsuit or arbitration, unless it contains all of the information required by this paragraph. If either of us commences an arbitration without having previously provided a valid and compliant notice of Dispute, you and Activision agree that the applicable arbitration provider (or the arbitrator, if one has been appointed) must suspend the arbitration until the party that initiated it complies with the Initial Dispute Resolution Period. You and Activision authorize the arbitration provider or the arbitrator to decide summarily whether the party that commenced an arbitration complied with the Initial Dispute Resolution Period requirement, relying solely on these Competition Terms and the notice of Dispute (if any) that you or Activision provided before commencing arbitration.

    10.5. Binding Arbitration and Arbitration Procedure: If a Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations during the Initial Dispute Resolution Period, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to formally resolve the Dispute, unless an exception applies as stated below. Except in the event of a Mass Arbitration (as defined below), the arbitration will be administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "JAMS Rules") effective as of the date of the Notice of Dispute, which are available at the JAMS website, http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration, as modified by these Terms. If, for any reason, JAMS is unable to provide the arbitration, then except as otherwise stated below, you may file your Dispute with any national arbitration company that handles consumer arbitrations following procedures that are substantially similar to the JAMS Rules. Arbitration hearings may be conducted by videoconference or telephone unless the arbitrator believes an in-person hearing is necessary. In such instances, the location of an arbitration hearing will be decided pursuant to the JAMS Rules. For players engaging in the Competition from within the United States but who are not residents of the United States, arbitration will be initiated in Los Angeles County, California, and you and Activision agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles County, California, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgement on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law. If the Dispute does not exceed $25,000, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of written submissions. The parties may bring any dispositive motion or motions during the course of the proceedings. Discovery in the arbitration will be limited to that necessary to resolve the Dispute. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and us, and any award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator and not any federal, state or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration as well as to decide all issues arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, validity, arbitrability, enforceability and/or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, including, but not limited to, where a party raises as a defence to arbitration that the claims in question are exempted from the arbitration requirement or that any portion of this agreement is void, voidable, or not enforceable. If a lawsuit filed in court includes claims or requests for relief that are arbitrable and claims or requests for relief that are not, you and we agree that any non-arbitrable claims or requests for relief will be stayed pending the completion of the arbitration of the arbitrable claims or requests for relief.

    10.6. Class Action Waiver: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. To the fullest extent applicable law does not permit waiver of private attorney general claims, but permits them to be arbitrated, then such claims shall be resolved in arbitration. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO ACTION WILL BE BROUGHT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS AND YOU UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING SUIT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS.

    10.7. Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation, but not, for clarity, claims related to the licence granted to you under these Competition Rules (if any). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for any individual Disputes within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. If an arbitration is filed, before the arbitrator is formally appointed either party can send written notice to the opposing party and the applicable arbitration provider that it wants the case decided by a small claims court, after which the arbitration provider must close the case.

    10.8. Exception – Mass Arbitration Before FedArb: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to have arbitrations administered by JAMS, if 20 or more demands for arbitration are filed relating to the same or similar subject matter and sharing common issues of law or fact, and counsel for the parties submitting the demands are the same or coordinated, you and we agree that this will constitute a "Mass Arbitration." If a Mass Arbitration is commenced, you and we agree that it will not be governed by JAMS Rules or administered by JAMS. Instead, a Mass Arbitration will be administered by FedArb, a nationally recognized arbitration provider, and governed by the FedArb Rules in effect when the Mass Arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class-wide basis (the "FedArb Rules"), and under the rules set forth in these Terms. The FedArb Rules are available at https://www.fedarb.com/ or by calling 1-650-328-9500. You and we agree that the Mass Arbitration will be resolved using FedArb's Framework for Mass Arbitration Proceedings ADR-MDL, available at https://www.fedarb.com/. Before any Mass Arbitration is filed with FedArb, you and we agree to contact FedArb jointly to advise that the parties intend to use FedArb's Framework for Mass Arbitration Proceedings ADR-MDL. The individual demands comprising the Mass Arbitration will be submitted on FedArb's claim form(s) and as directed by FedArb. You and King agree that if either party fails or refuses to commence the Mass Arbitration before FedArb rather than JAMS, you or Activision may seek an order from JAMS compelling compliance and directing administration of the Mass Arbitration before FedArb. Pending resolution of any such requests, you and we agree that all arbitrations comprising the Mass Arbitration (and any obligation to pay arbitration fees) will be stayed.

    10.9. 30 Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration agreement and class action waiver provisions in in this section 10 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Activision Blizzard Media Ltd. The Ampersand Building, 178 Wardour Street, London, United Kingdom, W1F 8FY: Activision Legal. The notice must be sent within 30 days of you first accessing the Competition; otherwise you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

    10.10. The provisions of this section 10 will govern, control, and supersede, any inconsistent provisions of these Competition Rules.

     

11. Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

    11.1. Except for section 10, section 11.2 and section 11.3, and unless the law of your country of residence states otherwise, the laws of England will govern the interpretation of these Competition Rules and apply to claims for breach of it. If there is a Dispute between us regarding these Competition Rules, then that Dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England unless the law in your country of residence allows you to choose the courts of that country for the Dispute in question.

    11.2. For residents in the United States: You and we irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California to resolve any claims that are subject to exceptions to the arbitration agreement described in section 10 above, or otherwise determined not to be arbitrable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or request for relief in a demand for arbitration filed pursuant to section 10 of these Competition Rules, as well as any claim or request for relief in a lawsuit filed in court under an exception to the arbitration agreement in section 10, will be barred if filed more than two (2) years after the date that the claim or request for relief accrued. If the law requires a claim or request for relief be filed earlier than two (2) years after the claim or request for relief accrued, that law controls.

    11.3. If you are a resident outside the United States and you are entitled to commence and/or participate in legal proceedings within the United States, then you agree that you will be bound by the BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions in section 10 above.
