ii. arbitration agreement and class action waiver

a. informal dispute resolution

at sphere, we believe every player matters. it is our goal to consistently exceed your expectations, and if we don’t, we hope that you will contact us to reach a solution. you can email us at letskickit@sphere.club and please include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) your concern, and (4) how you would like relief from your concern.

b. arbitration agreement

by accepting the terms, you and sphere agree to submit any and all disputes (as defined below) to binding arbitration pursuant to the federal arbitration act (title 9 of the united states code), which shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement (“arbitration agreement”). arbitration shall be before either (1) jams (formerly known as judicial arbitration and mediation services), www.jamsadr.com, or (2) the american arbitration association (“aaa”), www.adr.org. if you initiate arbitration, you shall have the choice as between these two arbitration forums; if sphere initiates arbitration, it shall have the choice as between these two arbitration forums.

we each agree that, except as provided in the definition of disputes below, any and all disputes which arise after you enter into these terms and conditions will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration rather than in court by a judge or jury, in accordance with this arbitration agreement.

c. class action waiver

you agree that the arbitration of any dispute (as defined below) shall be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide basis. no such arbitration proceedings may be consolidated with any other arbitration or other legal proceedings involving sphere or any other person. you further agree that you, and anyone asserting a claim through you, will not be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding against sphere. we and you agree that the arbitrator of any dispute between us may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claim (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action).

if this class action waiver (“class action waiver”) clause or any portion thereof is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then the arbitration agreement will be unenforceable, and the dispute will be decided by a court. any claim that all or part of the class action waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

d. definition of dispute

except as described below, the term “dispute” in this arbitration agreement and the class action waiver means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and sphere regarding any aspect of your relationship with sphere, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal, statutory or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of the terms except for the scope, enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver.

dispute shall not include personal injury claims or claims for lost, stolen, or damaged property.

dispute also shall not include; (1) claims that all or part of the class action waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable; and (2) any claim for public injunctive relief, i.e., injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting alleged unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public. such claims may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

e. how will the arbitration work?

either you or sphere may initiate arbitration proceedings. the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. the arbitration will be an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a representative or class arbitration.

if you or sphere initiate arbitration, you and we have a choice of doing so before jams or the aaa:

• for arbitration before jams, the jams comprehensive arbitration rules & procedures and the jams recommended arbitration discovery protocols for domestic, commercial cases will apply. the jams rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267.
• which particular rules apply in aaa arbitration will depend on how much money is at issue. for less than $75,000, the aaa’s supplementary procedures for consumer-related disputes/consumer arbitration rules will apply; for disputes involving $75,000 or more, the aaa’s commercial arbitration rules will apply. the aaa rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
• as set forth in the section of these terms regarding choice of law, the arbitrator shall apply texas law.
• if required for the enforceability of this arbitration agreement under the federal arbitration act, sphere will pay all arbitrator’s costs and expenses. if not, those costs will be paid as specified in the above-referenced rules.

f. where will the arbitration be held?

you can bring the arbitration in either texas or in the state where you live if there is a jams or aaa in that state. in the event that sphere initiates an arbitration, it will only do so in the state where you live before either jams or aaa, unless there is no jams or aaa in your state, in which case sphere may initiate the arbitration in texas.

cookies. cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our website and our app, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our website or our app.

disabling cookies. most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. the help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. visitors to our website who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the website, but some features may not function.

clear gifs, pixel tags and other technologies. clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. in contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages. we may use clear gifs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags), in connection with our website and our app to, among other things, track the activities of our website visitors and app users, help us manage content, and compile statistics about website and app usage. we and our third party service providers also use clear gifs in html emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

cross device use. we may use the information that we collect about you (whether directly from you from our site, app, or in-store purchase activities, through your device(s), or from a third party) to help us and our third-party service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). we, and our third party service providers, also may use the cross-device tracking and other information we learn about you to serve targeted advertising on your devices, to send you push notifications, and to send you emails. to opt-out of cross-device advertising, you may follow the instructions set forth in the third party ad network section below. please note: if you opt-out of these targeted advertising cookies, your opt-out will be specific to the web browser or mobile device from which you accessed the opt-out. if you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to opt-out each browser or device that you use.

third party analytics. we use automated devices and applications, such as google analytics, to evaluate usage of our site and, to the extent permitted, our app. we also may use other analytic means to evaluate our services. we use these tools to help us improve our services, performance, and user experiences. these entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services.

do-not-track. there is no industry do-not-track standard; sphere has processes in place that are designed to recognize web browser “do-not-track” signals. the help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to use your web browser’s do-not-track feature. please be advised that we cannot guarantee that our processes will capture all such do-not-track signals. you also may disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies); you may opt-out of targeted advertising by following the instructions in the third party ad network section.

e. third-party ad networks/social networks
we use third parties such as network advertisers and social media, including facebook, to serve advertisements on third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). this enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, javascript, web beacons (including clear gifs), flash lsos and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. these third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. we may provide these third-party advertisers with information, including personal information, about you to assist us with this advertising.

users in the united states may opt out of many third-party ad networks, including those we work with on our website. for example, you may go to the digital advertising alliance (“daa”) consumer choice page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by daa companies. you may also go to the network advertising initiative (“nai”) consumer opt-out page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by nai members.

opting out from one or more companies listed on the daa consumer choice page or the nai consumer opt-out page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our site or on other websites. you may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the daa or nai websites, your opt out may not be effective. additional information is available on the daa’s website at www.aboutads.info or the nai’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.

f. security of my personal information
