  1. Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process

If you have a “Dispute” (as defined below) with Sponsor or Released Parties relating to this Sweepstakes, you shall first provide Sponsor with written notice (“Notice”) sent to the following address Sponsor, 3535 Harbor Blvd., Suite 100, Costa Mesa, California 92626 ATTN: El Pollo Loco Legal Department. A Notice must include all of the following: (1) a detailed description of the Dispute; (2) the nature and basis of the claim(s); (3) the nature and basis of the specific relief sought and a detailed calculation for that relief; and (4) information sufficient for Sponsor to evaluate your claim. Any Notice you submit must be signed by you. You and we agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve any Dispute. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason the Dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of a compliant Notice, you and we agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below. Both you and we agree that this informal dispute resolution process is mandatory and a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding. Any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled for sixty (60) days from the time a fully compliant Notice is served on the other party unless the parties mutually agree to extend that period.

 

BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION: You agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes, actions, claims, or other controversies between you and Sponsor or any Released Parties that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of the Sweepstakes (“Dispute”) shall be final and binding arbitration. Dispute shall have the broadest possible meaning permitted by law.

 

You and we acknowledge that these Official Rules affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under these Official Rules (despite any other choice of law provision).

 

Arbitration under this Sweepstakes shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The applicable AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules shall apply, as modified by these Official Rules. If you initiate arbitration, the applicable AAA rules will govern the payment of fees unless applicable law requires a different allocation of fees in order for this arbitration provision to be enforceable. If you are unable to pay your share of the AAA fees, we will consider a request to pay them on your behalf so long as you have fully complied with the informal dispute resolution process as set forth above.

 

The arbitration will be conducted before a sole neutral arbitrator who shall be located at or near the location where the arbitration will take place. The arbitration will be conducted at a location that is reasonably convenient for you.

 

The award of the arbitrator may require payment of the costs, fees, and/or expenses incurred by the prevailing party consistent with applicable law and the applicable AAA rules. The provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 68 may be applied by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be bound by these Official Rules as a court would and shall issue a reasoned, detailed decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

 

INDIVIDUAL RELIEF AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: The parties agree that the arbitrator may award the same relief available in court provided that such relief (including declaratory or injunctive relief) shall only be in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AGREE THAT YOU BRING CLAIMS AGAINST SPONSOR OR RELEASED PARTIES ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE ANY PERSON’S OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF ANOTHER PERSON OR ENTITY AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. IF AFTER EXHAUSTION OF ALL APPEALS ANY OF THESE PROHIBITIONS ON NON-INDIVIDUALIZED RELIEF; CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, AND PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIMS; AND CONSOLIDATION IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR REQUEST FOR RELIEF (SUCH AS A REQUEST FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF), THEN YOU AGREE THAT SUCH A CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT AFTER ALL OTHER CLAIMS AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF ARE ARBITRATED.

 

ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES FOR MASS ARBITRATION FILINGS: If twenty-five (25) or more claimants submit Notices or attempt to file demands for arbitration raising similar claims and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel, all of the cases must be resolved in arbitration using the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules in stages using staged bellwether proceedings if they are not resolved prior to arbitration as set forth above. The parties agree that the individual resolution of claims in arbitration might be delayed if they elect to pursue claims in connection with twenty-five (25) or more similar claims. In the first stage, the parties shall each select up to fifteen (15) cases per side (thirty (30) cases total) to be filed in arbitration and resolved individually in accordance with this arbitration provision, with each case assigned to a separate arbitrator unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. During this time, no other cases may be filed in arbitration, and AAA shall not accept or administer arbitrations commenced in violation of this provision. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the first stage of bellwether proceedings, each side may then select up to another fifteen (15) cases per side (thirty (30) cases total) to be filed in arbitration and addressed individually in accordance with this arbitration provision. During this second stage, no other cases may be filed in arbitration or accepted or administered by the AAA. This process of staged bellwether proceedings (thirty (30) cases total in each set of bellwether proceedings as outlined above) shall continue until the parties are able to resolve all of the claims, either through arbitration or settlement. If these mass filing procedures apply, any statute of limitations applicable to the claims set forth will be tolled from the time the first cases are selected for bellwether proceedings until a given claim is selected for a bellwether proceeding, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have the authority to enforce this provision and, if necessary, to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations.

 

OPTING OUT OF ARBITRATION: IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY SPONSOR IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST HAD NOTICE OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES CONTAINING AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. THIS IS NOT A NEW OPT OUT RIGHT IF YOU WERE PREVIOUSLY BOUND BY AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO SPONSOR MUST BE SENT VIA MAIL TO SPONSOR, 3535 Harbor Blvd., Suite 100, Costa Mesa, California 92626 ATTN: El Pollo Loco Legal Department. IT MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH SPONSOR OR RELEASED PARTIES THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS SWEEPSTAKES. IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED SPONSOR OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO SO AGAIN. ANY OPT OUT RECEIVED AFTER THE THIRTY (30) DAY TIME PERIOD WILL NOT BE VALID.

 

Notwithstanding any provision in these Official Rules to the contrary, the parties agree that if we make future changes to this arbitration provision, except for changes to the Notice address, you may reject such changes by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Sponsor, 3535 Harbor Blvd., Suite 100, Costa Mesa, California 92626 ATTN: El Pollo Loco Legal Department. This is not an opt-out of arbitration altogether. By rejecting any future changes you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute in accordance with the language of this provision.

 

WE BOTH AGREE THAT, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND SPONSOR BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL INVOLVING ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to these Official Rules be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose to the fullest extent permitted by law. CHOICE OF LAW: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of participant and Sponsor and Released Parties in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflicts of laws principles with jurisdiction and venue in the local, state, and federal courts for Costa Mesa, California.
