Arbitration
Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution
and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to
this User Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Imagine Sports agree
to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating
any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence
upon written notice from one person to the other. Imagine Sports will
send its notice to your billing address and email you a copy to the
email address you have provided to us. You will send your notice by
e-mail to Imagine Sports at: disputes@imaginesports.com.

copyright, trademark or trade secret rights, or you have otherwise violated any of the Communication Services rules set forth above,

be determined in accordance with such AAA Rules and shall be subject to the limitations provided for in the AAA Consumer Rules (for consumer disputes).

deemed reasonable. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY
OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE IMAGINE SPORTS
WEBSITE, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to
Imagine Sports Website (including your visit to or use of the Website) be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.
No Waiver
Imagine Sports shall not be deemed to have waived any breach
of these terms and conditions of use by virtue of not having taken action with respect to any previous breach(es).
If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable,
