7. Dispute Resolution

This section applies to any dispute you have with Core Group, unless the dispute involves rights to your, the Core Group’s, or any of our licensor’s intellectual property.
 

Location and Governing Law. These Terms are governed by, and must be construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States and the State of Florida, as applicable, without giving effect to their principles of conflicts of law.  By using the Training Plan and Site, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other states, countries, territories or jurisdictions.
 

Notice of Dispute. For any problem or dispute that you may have with Core Group, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give Core Group an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes you first sending a notice of dispute (“Notice of Dispute”), which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and a proposed solution.  You must send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to the Legal Department, USA Triathlon 5825 Delmonico Dr. Ste 200, Colorado Springs, CO, 80919 and to the Legal Department, IRONMAN, 3407 W. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Suite 100, Tampa, Florida 33607.  You then agree to negotiate with Core Group in good faith about your problem or dispute. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after Core Group receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below.
 

Binding Arbitration. If you and Core Group do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this section. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.  Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.
 

Class Action Waiver. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor Core Group will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
 

Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.  You agree to commence arbitration only in Hillsborough County, Florida. Core Group agrees to commence arbitration only in your county of residence. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.

Claims or Disputes Must Be Filed Within One Year. To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under these Terms must be filed within one year in small claims court, or in an arbitration proceeding. The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of Dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute isn't filed within one year, it's permanently barred.
