1. Definitions. As used in this Section, (a) "Claim" means any current or future claim, dispute or controversy relating to any Registered User, these Master Terms, or any agreement or relationship you have or had with SportsHub, except for the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration provision, and (b) "you" or "your" means any Registered User and any affiliates or related persons or entities individually.

3. ARBITRATION. Before taking any action to enforce a Claim, you and SportsHub agree to send a written notice (a "claim notice") in the manner provided in this Agreement to each person or entity against whom a Claim is asserted. The claim notice must describe the claim and state the specific relief being requested. Notice to SportsHub must include your name, address, league commissioner and league name.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, YOU AND SPORTSHUB AGREE TO RESOLVE CLAIMS ONLY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS AGREEMENT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN COURT OR BEFORE A JURY.
Claims will be resolved before a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Claims will be resolved pursuant to the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the Claim is filed, except where those rules conflict with this Agreement. You can contact AAA by calling 800.778.7879 or going to www.adr.org. Any arbitration under this Agreement shall be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. SportsHub will not elect arbitration for any Claim you file in small claims court with jurisdiction over SportsHub, so long as the claim is individual and pending only in that court. You or SportsHub may require arbitration of any Claim at any time unless the Claim has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered.
YOU AGREE THAT NO CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIMS WILL BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. Claims will only be arbitrated on an individual basis. You and SportsHub agree that the arbitrator's authority is limited to individual claims between you and SportsHub alone. Subject to the limitations of this Section, the arbitrator shall have authority to award legal and equitable relief available in the courts of the State of Minnesota, provided, however, the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award punitive damages. Any question regarding the enforceability or interpretation of this Section shall be decided by a Court with jurisdiction and not by the arbitrator.
This Arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding upon you and SportsHub, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA; provided however, a written notice of appeal must be delivered within 30 days after the issuance of an award by the arbitrator to the arbitration organization and all parties to the arbitration. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
You will be responsible for paying your share of any arbitration fees (including filing, administrative, hearing or other fees), but only up to the amount of the filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in court. You will be liable for the attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred by SportsHub in connection with enforcing this Agreement if you bring an action regarding a Claim other than as provided in this Section.
This section will survive termination of your Account, voluntary payment of your Account balance, any legal proceeding to collect a debt or any bankruptcy.

As a condition to using the services of SportsHub, and subject to the limitations contained in this section entitled "Disputes with SportsHub", you agree that any dispute brought against SportsHub may be made only by legal action commenced in Hennepin County District Court, Hennepin County, Minnesota and that Minnesota law will apply to all such disputes.

Any dispute brought against SportsHub that is raised contrary to these Terms is considered a breach of these Terms, and SportsHub is entitled to recover all costs associated with the dispute, including but not limited to attorney's fees and costs.
Any action or inaction taken by SportsHub relative to any dispute or claim does not waive SportsHub's rights to act to any fashion in subsequent situations regardless of similarity.
