Arbitration:
PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION
OF THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES
THAT ANY DISPUTE MAY BE RESOLVED BY
BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION REPLACES
THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING
THE RIGHT TO A JURY AND THE RIGHT TO
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR
PROCEEDING. IN ARBITRATION, AN ARBITRATOR
INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY RESOLVES
A DISPUTE. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE
SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN COURT
PROCEDURES.
Agreement To Arbitration:
Either you, or we may, without the
other's consent, elect mandatory, binding
arbitration for any claim, dispute,
or controversy between you and us (called
"Claims").
How Arbitration Works:
How does a party initiate arbitration?
The party filing an arbitration must
choose one of the following three arbitration
firms and follow its rules and procedures
for initiating and pursuing an arbitration:
American Arbitration Association, JAMS,
and National Arbitration Forum.
Any arbitration hearing that you attend
will be held at a place chosen by the
arbitration firm in the same city, as
the U.S. District Court closest to our
headquarters, which is currently located
in Camden, New Jersey, or at some other
place to which you and we agree in writing.
You may obtain copies of the current
rules of each of the three arbitration
firms and forms and instructions for
initiating an arbitration by contacting
them as follows:
American Arbitration Association
Web Site: http://www.adr.org/
335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10New York,
NY 10017-4605
JAMS
Web Site: http://www.jamsadr.com/
1920 Main Street, Suite 300 Irvine,
CA 92610
National Arbitration Forum
Web Site: http://www.arbitration-forum.com/
P.O. Box 50191 Minneapolis, MN 55405
At any time you or we may ask an appropriate
court to compel arbitration of Claims,
or to stay the litigation of Claims
pending arbitration, even if such Claims
are part of a lawsuit, unless a trial
has begun or a final judgment has been
entered. Even if a party fails to exercise
these rights at any particular time,
or in connection with any particular
Claims, that party can still require
arbitration at a later time or in connection
with any other Claims.
Telephone and Monitoring Recording:
From time to time we may monitor and
record your telephone calls regarding
your account with us to assure the quality
of our service.
Closing Your Membership Account:
You must contact us by telephone at
1 800 969 9967 if you choose to cancel.
Changing This Agreement:
We can change this Agreement, including
the fees. We can also add or delete
provisions relating to your account
and to the nature, extent, and enforcement
of the rights and obligations you or
we may have relating to this Agreement.
These charges are binding on you. However,
if the change will cause a fee, rate
or minimum payment to increase, we will
mail you written notice at least fifteen
(15) days before the beginning of the
billing period in which the change becomes
effective.
