PANDA EXPRESS BLAZING MATCH GAME OFFICIAL RULES
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO PLAY OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
1. Eligibility: The Panda Express Blazing Bourbon Chicken Game is a game of chance ("Game" or "Promotion") and is open only to legal residents of, and residing in, the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia ("eligibility area") who possess a web-enabled desktop or mobile device and are thirteen (13) years of age or older as of date of Game Play (as defined below) ("Player"). Eligible minors must have permission from their parent or legal guardian to participate. Void outside the eligibility area and where prohibited by law. Employees of Panda Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Sponsor", "Panda" or "Panda Express"), its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, franchisees, representatives, consultants, contractors, agents, and advertising and promotion agencies including but not limited to Don Jagoda Associates, Inc. ("Administrator") (collectively, the "Released Parties"), as well as the immediate family (spouse, partner, parents, siblings and children, and their respective spouses or partners, regardless of where they reside) and household members of each such employee, whether related or not, are not eligible to participate or win. This Promotion is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes Player's (and, if eligible minors, their parents' or legal guardians') full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules.
2. Promotion Period: The Promotion begins at 12:00:00 am Pacific Time ("PT") on September 23, 2024, and ends at 11:59:59 pm PT on October 13, 2024 ("Promotion Period"). The Promotion Period will consist of three (3) weekly play periods, with each week beginning on Monday and ending on the following Sunday (each, a "Play Period"). The Sponsor's clock is the official time-keeping device in the Promotion.
3. How to Play: Players must be a Panda Rewards member to play the Game. During the Promotion Period, Players can visit http://pandaexpress.com/promo/blazingmatch ("Website") to create a Panda Rewards account OR download the Panda Express mobile app and create a Panda Rewards account (if you do not already have one). There is no fee to download the Panda Express mobile app and establishing a Panda Rewards account is free. Existing Panda Rewards members can log in to their account and click "Play Now" on the Game banner on the Home screen of the Panda Rewards app.
The Game will consist of three (3) levels (each, a "Level"). Follow the on-screen instructions to play one or more Levels. Upon successfully completing a Level ("Game Play"), Players will be presented with an offer ("Offer"). A Player can choose to follow the on-screen instructions to claim that Offer or play the next Level. If the Player chooses to play the next Level, they will forfeit that Offer. Upon completing Level 3, Player will be presented with the opportunity to follow the on-screen instructions to claim the final Offer. For the purpose of the Game, a Game Play concludes either when the Player claims an Offer or completes Level 3. If you leave the screen prior to completing a Game Play or claiming an Offer, you will forfeit such Offer. Offers will be randomly seeded throughout the Promotion Period. Odds of receiving an Offer depend on the date/time of Game Play, the number of each Offer remaining available at the time of Game Play and number of eligible Game Plays received.
For each Play Period, one (1) Grand Prize as more fully described in Rule #5 below ("Grand Prize") will be randomly seeded based on the probability of the number of eligible Game Plays that complete Level 3, for a total of three (3) Grand Prize winners (each a "Grand Prize winner"). Odds of winning a Grand Prize depend on whether or not the Game Play corresponds with the randomly seeded probability of the corresponding Play Period. If you have won a Grand Prize, you will be notified immediately following your Game Play. To claim your prize, follow the directions to submit the required information. If you leave the screen prior to completing the claim process, you will forfeit the prize. All on-screen wins are subject to verification. The number of Offers and Grand Prizes available to be won will diminish as they are claimed. Limit one (1) Game Play per person per Play Period. Players are not permitted to share the same email address or Panda Rewards account. Any attempt by any Player to obtain more than the stated number of Game Plays by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods will void that Player's Game Plays, and that Player may be disqualified from the Promotion. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed, or similar registration/Game Play methods or agents (including, but not limited to, Promotion Game Play services) will void all Game Plays by that Player. Receipt of Game Play may be acknowledged, but such acknowledgment does not constitute any representation as to eligibility. Game Plays are subject to verification by Sponsor or Administrator. Sponsor will not accept screenshots or other evidence of receiving an Offer or winning a Grand Prize in lieu of its validation process.
4. Verification/Grand Prize Winner Notification/Grand Prize and Offer Fulfillment: All potential Grand Prize winners (and, if eligible minors, their parents or legal guardians) are subject to confirmation, verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. If, due to an error of any kind, more Grand Prizes or Offers are claimed than are intended to be awarded, the intended number of Grand Prizes and Offers will be awarded in a random drawing from among all verified prize claims received during the Promotion Period. Offer will be automatically uploaded into your "offers" tab of your Panda Rewards account within twenty-four (24) hours of winning Game Play. Offers are redeemable for two weeks after Offer is uploaded to a Player's Panda Rewards account. LIMITS: Limit one (1) Offer per person per Play Period. Limit one (1) Grand Prize per person/family/household per Play Period. Unclaimed Grand Prizes or Offers will go unawarded.
Each potential Grand Prize winner will be notified by Administrator via email within five (5) days of winning Game Play and will be required to verify their eligibility by digitally completing and securely signing a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Release and a Publicity Release (where legal) (collectively, the "Declaration") and submit the Declaration electronically within forty-eight (48) hours of notification. Non-compliance within this time period or return of any prize/prize notification as undeliverable will result in such Grand Prize winner's disqualification and selection of an alternate Grand Prize winner in a random drawing from among all non-suspect, eligible Game Plays for such Play Period(s). If, in the Sponsor's sole discretion, it is determined that: any Player has not complied with these Official Rules, Sponsor is unable to contact a potential Grand Prize winner within a reasonable time period, a potential Grand Prize winner has failed to properly execute and return the Declaration within the specified time period or has made false statements, then such Player will be disqualified. If a Player is disqualified for any reason, at Sponsor's discretion, an alternate potential Grand Prize winner may be selected in a random drawing from among all non-suspect, eligible Game Plays for such Play Period(s). Should a potential Grand Prize winner decide to decline the prize for any reason whatsoever, Sponsor shall have no further obligation to such potential Grand Prize winner, and an alternate potential Grand Prize winner may be selected in a random drawing from among all non-suspect, eligible Game Plays for such Play Period(s). Grand Prizes won by eligible minors will be awarded to the parent or legal guardian.
5. Grand Prizes/Offers/Approximate Retail Values ("ARV"):
Three (3) Grand Prizes (one (1) per Play Period): Free Plate for a year (awarded as a weekly coupon for 52 weeks in Grand Prize winner's Panda Rewards account). ARV: $509.60-$629.20 depending on store location. If a coupon is not redeemed during the applicable week, it will be void.

- BOGO Bowl: ARV: $9.80-12.10, depending on store location
TOTAL ARV OF ALL GRAND PRIZES: $1,528.80-$1,887.60 depending on store location. The actual value of Grand Prizes and Offers depends on the store location and price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules, and the date the Grand Prize or Offer is awarded or redeemed. Any difference between the stated ARV and the actual value, if any, will not be awarded. If a Grand Prize or Offer becomes unavailable, Sponsor will substitute a Grand Prize or Offer of equal or greater retail value. No transfer, cash equivalent or other substitution of a Grand Prize or Offer code is permitted except Sponsor may substitute a Grand Prize or Offer code for one of comparable or greater retail value for any reason. Any depiction of Grand Prizes or Offers, in Promotion materials or otherwise, is for illustrative purposes only. No responsibility or liability is assumed for damages, losses or injury resulting from acceptance or use of any Grand Prize or Offer code. Prize winners will be solely responsible for any and all federal, state, and local taxes on prizes. All costs and expenses not expressly specified in these Official Rules are the sole responsibility of the individual winners.
Offer Terms and Conditions: Tax, delivery, and other fees still apply. Valid in-store and online via Panda Express website and app at participating locations. One-time use and limit of one redemption per order. Not valid with any other offer or discounts. Void if altered, reproduced, or where prohibited.

6. General Rules; Release of Liability; Publicity Grant: By participating in the Promotion, Player (or if an eligible minor, parent/legal guardian) fully and unconditionally agrees to and accepts these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor and Administrator, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Any normal Internet/phone access and data/usage charges imposed by Players' online/phone service will apply and are Players' sole responsibility. Released Parties are not responsible for any compatibility issues with Player's device/browser used for Game Play. Game Plays become the property of Sponsor upon receipt and will not be acknowledged or returned. Grand Prize claims specifying an invalid, non-working, or inactive email address may be disqualified. No information regarding Game Plays, other than as otherwise set forth in these Official Rules or on the Website, will be disclosed. Released Parties are not responsible for lost, interrupted or unavailable network server or other connection; miscommunications; failed phone or computer or telephone transmissions; technical failure; jumbled, garbled, scrambled or misdirected transmissions; late, lost, incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, stolen, or misdirected Game Plays, Grand Prize or Offer claims, emails, or other communications of any kind; or other error or problem of any kind whether human, mechanical, typographical, network, or electronic relating to or in connection with the Promotion, including, without limitation, errors or difficulties which may occur in connection with the administration of a Promotion, the functionality of the Game, the processing of Game Plays, the announcement of the Grand Prize or Offers or in any Promotion-related materials. Released Parties assume no responsibility for any injury or damage to Player's or to any other person's computer or other device relating to or resulting from playing or downloading materials or software in connection with the Promotion. CAUTION: Any attempt to deliberately damage any website/device, or undermine the legitimate operations of the Promotion, is a violation of the criminal and civil laws. Should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such Player to the fullest extent permitted by law and to disqualify such Player from the Promotion. Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to disqualify any individual that tampers or attempts to tamper with the Game; violates these Official Rules; or acts in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person and void all associated Game Plays and/or Grand Prize/Offer claims. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
In the event the Promotion is compromised or impaired in any way for any reason, including but not limited to, fraud, virus, bug, unauthorized human intervention, outbreak of widespread illness, pandemic, or other similar occurrence, civil unrest or any other problem or other causes beyond the control of Sponsor that corrupts or impairs the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of the Promotion, Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to suspend or terminate the Promotion and award the Grand Prize(s) for the Play Period(s) at issue in a random drawing from among all non-suspect, eligible Game Plays for such Play Period(s) prior to action taken or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor.
By participation in the Promotion, Players (or, if eligible minors, their parents or legal guardians) release and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all liability, claims, or actions of any kind whatsoever for injuries, damages, or losses to persons or property which may be sustained in connection with submitting a Game Play or otherwise participating in any aspect of the Promotion, and/or the receipt, ownership or use of any Grand Prize awarded.
In the event of a dispute as to any winning Game Play, the authorized account holder of the Panda Rewards account associated with the email address used to claim the Grand Prize or Offer will be deemed to be the Player and such individual must comply with these Official Rules. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential Grand Prize winners and Offer claimants may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holders. Any Game Play that occurs after the system has failed for any reason is deemed a defective Game Play, is void and will not be honored.

7. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IT AFFECTS YOUR (or if aN ELIGIBLE minor, parent's/legal guardian's) LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU (or if aN ELIGIBLE minor, parent/legal guardian) AND PANDA CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU (or if aN ELIGIBLE minor, parent/legal guardian) AND PANDA TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS THAT YOU (or if aN ELIGIBLE minor, parent/legal guardian) WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRING A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT IN A COURT OF LAW BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY CONCERNING ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE WHICH IS COVERED BY THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND ARE INSTEAD AGREEING TO SUBMIT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SOLELY ON YOUR (or if an ELIGIBLE minor, parent's/legal guardian's) OWN BEHALF TO AN IMPARTIAL ARBITRATOR.
7.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
You (or if an eligible minor, parent/legal guardian) and Panda mutually agree to forego the delay and expense of using a court of law and choose instead to benefit from impartial dispute resolution procedure of using binding arbitration for any "Covered Claims" (as defined below) that arise between you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) and Panda, and/or any current or former employee, officer, or director of Panda sued for acts or omissions taken in the capacity of Panda's agent, representative or employee. You (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) and Panda agree that this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ยง 1 et seq., and will survive even after these Official Rules terminate. Any revision to or termination of these Official Rules that modify or terminate this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver shall not apply to an arbitration pending at the time of the revision, except as may be required by applicable law.
7.2 Claims Subject to Arbitration
Other than the exceptions in the "Excluded Claims" Section below, the "Covered Claims" include any and all controversies, disputes, disagreements, and claims arising out of, or relating to, these Official Rules (including its enforcement, breach, performance, interpretation, validity, or termination), and/or participation in the Promotion, including but not limited to such controversies, disputes, disagreements, and claims that pre-date your (or if a minor, parent's/legal guardian's) agreement to these Official Rules or the Promotion.
7.3 Excluded Claims
7.3.1 The Covered Claims do not include (and thus shall not require arbitration of) the following types of claims that will hereafter be referred to as "Excluded Claims": (a) any claims that cannot be required to be arbitrated as a matter of California law subject to federal preemption (including claims or charges that must be filed with a governmental administrative agency); (b) applications for provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders, including but not limited to those relating to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; and (c) small claims actions demanding $10,000 or less brought on an individual basis and within a small claims court's jurisdiction.
7.3.2 In the event you (or if an eligible minor, parent/legal guardian) or Panda choose to pursue arbitration of both Covered Claims and Excluded Claims and the other party objects, the Covered Claims must be arbitrated. In no event will Covered Claims be joined with Excluded Claims and litigated in court unless both parties agree to waive arbitration.
7.4 Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver
You (or if an eligible minor, parent/legal guardian) and Panda agree to arbitrate any Covered Claims only on an individual basis and hereby waive any right to bring, participate in, or receive money or any other relief from any representative, class, or collective proceeding ("Class Action Waiver"). No party may bring a claim on behalf of other individuals, and no arbitrator hearing any claim under these Official Rules may: (a) without the consent of all parties, combine more than one individual's claim or claims into a single case; (b) order, require, participate in, or facilitate production of class-wide contact information or notification of others of potential claims; or (c) arbitrate any form of a class, collective, or representative proceeding. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you (or if an eligible minor, parent/legal guardian) and we each waive any right to a jury trial ("Jury Trial Waiver"). This Jury Trial Waiver shall not apply, and shall be severed from this Agreement, if it is not permissible under applicable laws or otherwise found to be unenforceable, including presently California.
7.5 Arbitrability Determinations
If a party violates the agreement to arbitrate by commencing an action asserting a Covered Claim in a court of law, then the court (and not an arbitrator) shall have the authority to resolve any disputes about the interpretation, formation, existence, enforceability, validity, and scope of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. If a party complies with the agreement to arbitrate and files for arbitration without filing a complaint in a court of law, then the arbitrator shall have the authority to resolve any disputes about the interpretation of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver for purposes of discovery or the merits of the underlying claim, but shall have no authority to resolve any disputes about the formation, existence, enforceability, or validity of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver, including the Class Action Waiver.
7.6 Arbitration Rules, Procedures, and Costs
For any Covered Claim that you (or if an eligible minor, parent/legal guardian) have against Panda, or Panda has against you (or if an eligible minor, parent/legal guardian), the claiming party may, voluntarily and at its election, contact the other party and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of the claim ("Notice"). If such Notice is being sent to Panda, it shall be sent by email at [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to:
Attn: Corporate Legal Team
Panda Restaurant Group, Inc.
1683 Walnut Grove Avenue
Rosemead, CA 91770
If the Notice is being sent to a party other than Panda, it shall be sent to the last known (by the claiming party) email or street address of the other party. The Notice should (a) include the claiming party's name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Covered Claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Each party agrees to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) and Panda cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Covered Claim, then the party desiring to pursue a legal dispute must prepare a written demand setting forth the claim(s) and deliver the written demand within the applicable statute of limitations period by hand or first-class mail to the address above. You (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) and Panda agree that the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by AAA. The arbitration shall be held at a location determined by AAA under its rules and procedures (provided such location is reasonably convenient to you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed to by you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) and Panda. Except to the extent that they are modified by the rules below, if you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) are an individual person, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time of the filing of the demand will apply.
7.6.1 The parties agree that the applicable AAA rules are modified as follows:
7.6.2 Any arbitrator must be neutral as to all parties. Standards for the recusal of an arbitrator shall be the same standards under which trial judges are recused under California law.
7.6.3 No party is entitled to its attorneys' fees, except as may be awarded in a matter authorized by and consistent with applicable law.
7.6.4 All discovery shall be subject to any and all objections available under FRCP 26(b). Each party shall avoid broad or widespread collection, search, and production of documents, including electronically stored information ("ESI"). If a compelling need is demonstrated by the requesting party, the production shall: (i) be narrowly tailored in scope; (ii) only come from sources that are reasonably accessible without undue burden or cost; and (iii) be produced in a searchable format, if possible without undue burden or cost, and which is usable by the receiving party and convenient and economical for the producing party. Where the costs and burdens of the requested discovery outweigh its likely benefit, considering the needs of the case, the amount in controversy, and the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues, the arbitrator shall deny such requests or order production on condition that the requesting party advance to the producing party the reasonable costs involved in making the production, subject to the allocation of costs in the final award.
7.6.5 The arbitrator shall have the authority to award the same damages and other relief that would have been available in court pursuant to the law governing the Covered Claim(s).
7.6.6 Either party shall have the right to file motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment/adjudication.
7.6.7 The arbitrator shall have the authority to issue an award or partial award without conducting a hearing on the grounds that there is no claim on which relief can be granted or that there is no genuine issue of material fact to resolve at a hearing.
7.6.8 The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to all arbitration proceedings.
7.6.9 For discovery purposes only, an arbitrator may consolidate claims filed by multiple individuals, each on their own behalf, in a single arbitration proceeding, or may conduct a joint hearing for efficiency purposes, so long as the arbitrator does not (a) certify (conditionally or otherwise) a collective, class, or representative action that includes individuals who have not themselves already submitted their own individual claims, or (b) authorize the issuance of notice of the arbitration to individuals on the grounds that the arbitrator or any party believes there are other individuals who are similarly situated to or share commonality with a party to the arbitration.
7.6.10 The arbitrator must issue a decision in writing, setting forth in summary form the reasons for the arbitrator's determination and the legal basis therefor.
7.6.11 The arbitrator's authority shall be limited to deciding the case submitted by the parties to the arbitration. Therefore, no decision by any arbitrator shall serve as precedent in other arbitrations except to preclude the same claim from being re-arbitrated between the same parties.
7.6.12 The parties may settle any dispute on a mutual basis without involvement of the arbitrator.
7.6.13 If you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) initiate arbitration, you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) will pay the first $250, and Panda will pay all other filing, administrative, or hearing fees. If Panda initiates arbitration, Panda will pay all filing, administrative, and hearing fees. Regardless of which party initiates arbitration, you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) will remain responsible for your (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian's) attorneys' fees and costs unless the law governing the Covered Claim provides for an award of attorneys' fees and costs and the arbitrator determines as part of the arbitration award that you (or if a minor, parent/legal guardian) may recover a certain amount of attorneys' fees and costs.
7.6.14 A party may make an offer of judgment in a manner consistent with, and within the time limitations, consequences, and effects provided in Rule 68 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The offer shall be served on the offeree in the same manner in which other papers are served in the arbitral proceeding. The offer shall not be served on the arbitrator, except that if the offer is accepted, either party may then file with the arbitrator the offer and notice of acceptance together with proof of service thereof. The arbitrator shall then immediately render an award as provided by the offer, and the arbitration proceedings shall then be terminated. If the offer is not accepted, the offer shall not be used as evidence in the arbitration proceedings and, following the issuance of the arbitrator's award, the offeror may file a motion for costs with the arbitrator, who shall retain jurisdiction to decide the motion and award costs to the offeror as warranted.
7.7 Mass Arbitration (inapplicable in California and in any other jurisdiction where this term is prohibited by law).
A "Mass Arbitration" shall be defined as any one of the following: (i) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, files or causes to be filed 30 or more Covered Claims within a thirty-day period; (ii) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, files or causes to be filed 50 or more Covered Claims within a sixty-day period; (iii) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, serves as counsel (regardless of whether the lawyer or law firm is counsel of record) for 30 or more persons who file a Covered Claim within a thirty-day period; or (iv) the same lawyer or law firm, alone or with other lawyers or law firms, serves as counsel (regardless of whether the lawyer or law firm is counsel of record) for 50 or more persons who file a Covered Claim within a sixty-day period. In the event of a Mass Arbitration, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.6.13. above, Panda shall (i) not be required to advance or pay arbitration costs for any arbitration and (ii) may be awarded its reasonable attorney fees, expert fees, and costs if it prevails (without having to show that your (or if a minor, parent's/legal guardian's) claim was frivolous or in bad faith) if such recovery is authorized under applicable law. The immediately preceding sentence shall apply only to those arbitrations that are filed once the definition of Mass Arbitration is met. Thus, by way of example, if the same law firm files 35 Covered Claims within a thirty-day period, the first 29 Covered Claims shall be governed by subpart Section 7.6.12 and the last six Covered Claims (i.e., arbitration numbers 30 through 35) shall be governed by this Section 7.7. Once a law firm or lawyer is deemed part of a Mass Arbitration, all Covered Claims he/she/it files, assists in filing, or causes to be filed shall be governed by this Section 7.7 unless and until the law firm or lawyer does not file, assists in filing, or causes to be filed any Covered Claims for a period of one year. This section 7.7 is inapplicable in California and in any other jurisdiction where this term is prohibited by law.
7.8 Severability
If any term or condition in this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver is determined to be unenforceable or in conflict with a mandatory provision of applicable law, it shall be construed to incorporate any mandatory provision, or the unenforceable or conflicting term or condition shall be automatically severed and the remainder of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver shall not be affected.
