Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Please read the following paragraphs carefully because they require you to arbitrate disputes with Sprouts and limit the manner in which you can seek relief from us. a. Applicability. You agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement) (together, “Disputes”) will be resolved by confidential and binding arbitration on an individual basis as described in this Agreement (this “Arbitration Agreement”). The place of arbitration will be Maricopa County, Arizona, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties to the arbitration. But, in the event of any actual, alleged, or threatened violation of confidentiality or violation of Sprouts’ intellectual property or other proprietary rights, Sprouts may immediately resort to court proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction in order to seek immediate injunctive relief without posting bond, proving damages, or meeting any similar requirement. Any institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of either party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you; Sprouts; Sprouts’ affiliates; Sprouts’ and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, owners, agents, predecessors in interest, successors in interest, and assigns; authorized and unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Website; and any third-party beneficiaries. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. b. Arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes then in effect except as stated below. A single arbitrator with knowledge of electronic commerce will conduct the arbitration and that arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The parties will mutually agree upon such arbitrator, but if the parties have not agreed on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice of intention to arbitrate, the AAA will select the arbitrator from its list of commercial arbitrators. The arbitrator will conduct a single hearing no longer than one (1) day in duration for the purpose of receiving evidence and will render a decision within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the hearing. The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any State or Federal court of competent jurisdiction. The cost of the arbitrator will be shared equally, and all other expenses of arbitration, including attorneys’ fees, will be paid by the party who incurred them. Any arbitration proceeding may not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding and will not proceed as a class action. You further agree that you will not participate in any way in any class action in connection with any Dispute, either as a class representative plaintiff or as a member of a putative class. The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate Disputes through a court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, and to participate in a class action or other proceeding involving multiple claimants, but they have instead chosen to have all Disputes decided through individual arbitration. c. Place; Federal Arbitration Act. The place of arbitration will be Maricopa County, Arizona, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties to the arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. d. Confidentiality. Any and all actions taken under this Arbitration Agreement, including all filings, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party. e. Time Limitation on Claims. Arbitration proceedings must be initiated within one (1) year after any Dispute arises; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred. 24. Assignment. We may assign our rights and delegate our duties under this Agreement at any time to any party without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent. 25. Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any rights, remedies, or benefits upon any person other than you and Sprouts, except that our affiliates, the applicable App Marketplace, and that App Marketplace’s affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Accordingly, the applicable App Marketplace has the right to enforce this Agreement against you. 26. Entire Agreement; Interpretation. This Agreement, including our Privacy Policy and, as applicable, our Mobile Coupon Terms and any other items incorporated herein, is the entire agreement between you and Sprouts with respect to your access to and use of the App. Sprouts’ failure to enforce any provision in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by Sprouts. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be considered severable from the remaining provisions and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement inures to the benefit of Sprouts’ successors and assigns. 27.
