I agree that any claim, controversy, or dispute relating to the enforcement or interpretation of these Terms, or arising out of or relating to my registration, participation, or attendance at The Male Legacy Weekend, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended from time to time. The arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California.

By agreeing to arbitration, I waive my right to bring an action before a judge or jury in any court. I understand that I am also waiving rights to discovery and appeal that would otherwise be available in court proceedings. Any award rendered in arbitration may be confirmed as a judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, or representative action. I waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration with respect to any claim covered by these Terms.

Mass Arbitration. If 25 or more individuals simultaneously submit substantially similar claims, BSMDI and the claimants’ counsel agree to work with AAA to coordinate those claims into a single consolidated proceeding or bellwether process consistent with AAA’s mass arbitration rules and procedures, to the extent applicable.

Exception. Either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the outcome of arbitration.

If you refuse to submit to arbitration after agreeing to this provision, you may be compelled to arbitrate under the authority of the California Code of Civil Procedure. If any portion of this arbitration clause is found unenforceable, that portion shall be severed and the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
