- ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Please read this Arbitration Agreement provision of this Certificate (Arbitration Agreement) carefully. It affects your rights. Most of your concerns about this Certificate can be addressed simply by contacting our Authorized Representative at 1-888-562-8662. In the unlikely event we cannot resolve any disputes, including any claims under this Certificate, that you or we may have, YOU AND WE AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF THROUGH COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU AND WE AGREE: (1) TO WAIVE OUR RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND (2) NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. It has more limited discovery than in court and is subject to limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, references to "we" and "us" include our Authorized Representative, Continental Casualty Company, Service Provider and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, successors and assigns. This Certificate evidences a transaction in interstate commerce; accordingly, the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of this Certificate.
This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly, and it includes any dispute: (1) arising out of or relating in any way to this contract or program or to the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise; (2) that arose either before this Arbitration Agreement or Certificate was entered into by you and us or that arises after this Arbitration Agreement or Certificate is terminated; and (3) that currently is the subject of a purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing an individual action in small claims court or from informing any federal, state or local agencies or entities of your dispute. Such agencies or entities may be able to seek relief on your behalf.
If you or we intend to seek arbitration you and we must first send to the other a written Notice of Claim ("Notice") by certified mail. Your Notice to us should be addressed to: Legal Department, P.O. Box 110656, Nashville, TN 37222-0656. The Notice must describe the dispute and state the specific relief sought. If you and we do not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice, you or we may initiate an arbitration proceeding with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA").
You can obtain the forms necessary to initiate an arbitration proceeding by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. After we receive notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will reimburse you for payment of any filing fee to the AAA. If you are unable to pay a required filing fee, we will pay it if you send a written request by certified mail to: Legal Department, P.O. Box 110656, Nashville, TN 37222-0656. The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "Arbitration Rules") in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You can obtain a copy of the Arbitration Rules by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
The arbitrator appointed by the AAA to decide the dispute is bound by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement, with the exception that issues relating to the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement may be decided by a court. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration proceeding will take place in the county or parish of your billing address. If your dispute is for $10,000 or less, you may choose to conduct the arbitration proceeding either by submitting documents to the arbitrator or by appearing before the arbitrator in person or by telephone. If your dispute is for more than $10,000, the right to arbitration proceeding will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. We will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement, unless your dispute is found by the arbitrator to have been frivolous or brought for an improper purpose under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). In that case, the payment of such fees shall be governed by the Arbitration Rules.
At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision which includes an explanation of the facts and law upon which the decision is based. If the arbitrator finds in your favor and issues a damages award that is greater than the value of the last settlement offer made by us or if we made no settlement offer and the arbitrator awards you any damages, we will: (1) pay you the amount of the damages award or $7,500, whichever is greater; and (2) pay your attorney, if any, twice the amount of the attorney's fees and the actual amount of any expenses reasonably incurred when pursuing your dispute in arbitration. You and we agree not to disclose any settlement offers to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has issued the written decision. The arbitrator may resolve any disputes regarding attorney's fees and expenses either during the arbitration proceedings or, upon request, within 14 days of the arbitrator's written decision. While the right to the attorney's fees and expenses discussed above is in addition to any right you may have under applicable law, neither you nor your attorney may recover duplicate awards of attorney's fees and expenses. Although we may have the right under applicable law to recover attorney's fees and expenses from you if we prevail in the arbitration, we hereby waive the right to do so.
To the extent either declaratory or injunctive relief is sought in the arbitration, such relief can be awarded only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by a party's individual claim. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the dispute of another person with your or our dispute and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.

- If we adopt any revisions to the policy which would broaden the coverage under this Certificate without additional premium while this coverage is in effect, the broadened coverage will immediately apply to this Certificate.
