We want to address any concerns or Disputes you may have without the need for formal dispute resolution. Therefore, before filing any arbitration demand or other claim of any kind against Ace High Society or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, ultimate parent and parent companies, partners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, shareholders, agents, licensors, subcontractors, or suppliers, you agree to notify us in writing of the nature of your concern and/or Dispute and to try in good faith using best efforts to resolve it in accordance with clause 22.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Ace High Society shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
26.6 Arbitration
a) We Both Agree to Arbitrate. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, both you and Ace High Society agree that any and all Disputes, including without limitation any question regarding the existence, validity, enforceability, or termination of these Terms and Conditions and/or this clause 26 (Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate), shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), the rules of which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. In agreeing to this binding commitment to arbitrate your Disputes, you agree that you waive any right to proceed in a court of law or to have your claims heard by a jury. The arbitration shall: (1) be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator in the English language; (2) be held virtually and not in person for all proceedings related to the arbitration, except by mutual agreement of all parties; and (3) be limited to one deposition per party, except by mutual agreement of all parties. Furthermore, in cases where neither party’s claim(s) or counterclaim(s) exceed $25,000, both parties agree to waive an arbitration hearing and resolve the dispute solely through submissions of documents to the arbitrator. No award or procedural order made in the arbitration shall be published. The AAA rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
b) Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.
c) Both you and Ace High Society agree not to make any argument that the AAA is an inconvenient forum or otherwise incompetent or without authority or jurisdiction to hear any Dispute, and expressly waive any and all such arguments.

a) You and Ace High Society agree that an arbitration or any other proceeding to resolve a Dispute shall proceed in an individual capacity only, and neither you nor Ace High Society may bring a Dispute as a Collective Action.

b) Without limiting the generality of clause 26.7(a) or the term Collective Action, and as an example only, a claim to resolve a Dispute against Ace High Society will be deemed a Collective Action if:
i. Claims are filed or pursued concurrently by or on behalf of two or more persons; and

c) For the purposes of this clause, the term ‘concurrently’ means that the claims are pending (filed but not resolved) at the same time.
26.8. Waiver of Collective Action
a) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR ACE HIGH SOCIETY WILL BE ENTITLED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY COLLECTIVE ACTION (AS DEFINED ABOVE), OR OTHERWISE CONSOLIDATE, JOIN, PARTICIPATE, REPRESENT, OR COORDINATE DISPUTES (AS DEFINED ABOVE) WITH OR INVOLVING OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE AAA RULES REFERENCED ABOVE SHALL EXCLUDE ANY RULES OR PROCEDURES GOVERNING OR PERMITTING COLLECTIVE ACTIONS (AS DEFINED ABOVE) OF ANY KIND.
b) BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU AND ACE HIGH SOCIETY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO: (1) A JURY TRIAL; AND (2) PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. IF A COURT DECIDES THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS PARAGRAPH’S LIMITATIONS AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND MAY BE BROUGHT IN COURT.
c) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THIS CLAUSE 26 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE) IS FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF CLAUSE 26 (EXCEPT THIS SENTENCE) MAY, UPON ACE HIGH SOCIETY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE ELECTION, BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT, SUBJECT TO ACE HIGH SOCIETY’S RIGHT TO APPEAL THE LIMITATION OR INVALIDATION OF SUCH CLAUSE.
