Service Contact:

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by contacting our customer service representative at 1-202-491-1440. In the unlikely event that our customer service representative is unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if CAAB has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration, mediation, or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration, which is often cheaper, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in a court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Also, in arbitration you are entitled to recover attorneys' fees from CAAB to at least the same extent as you would be in court. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

Arbitration Agreement

CAAB and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
  • claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising;
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

References to "CAAB", "you", and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or devices under this or prior agreements between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and CAAB are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This agreement evidences a transaction in the interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to CAAB should be addressed to General Counsel,

CAAB, 1444 Eye Street, NW, Suite 201, Washington, DC 20005 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the

specific relief sought ("Demand"). If CAAB and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or CAAB may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer

Termination/Access Restriction
