1.                  Reward Owners agree that any controversy or claim at law or equity that arises out of or relates to the Program (“Claims”) shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties.
a.       Arbitration. For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000. Reward Owners or Bob Hastings Buick-GMC, Inc. may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, online, and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

c.       Violations of Section G (“Legal Disputes”) All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief) between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the party first to assert a Claim, either through a court filing or a commencement of arbitration. Should either party file an action contrary to the Section G, the other party may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $1,000.00, provided that the party seeking the award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.
2.                  These Terms and Conditions are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state of New York, U.S.; as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York State by New York State residents. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and all of its rules and procedures, shall govern Section G hereof, to the extent that the FAA is inconsistent with New York State law. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or the extent of such section. Bob Hastings Buick-GMC’s failure to act with respect to a breach by Bob Hastings Buick-GMC VIP Rewards Program does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. These Terms and Conditions and any document it incorporates set forth the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Sections F and G shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement. It is the express wish of the parties that this document and any related documents are drawn up in English.
3.                  If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed from the remainder of these Terms and Conditions, which will otherwise remain in force.
