    3. You, Sponsor, and Administrator agree to provide written notice of any Claim and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute before beginning arbitration proceedings. Notice to Sponsor shall be sent to: Goonzquad Gear, LLC, 4108 Ninth Ave, Chattanooga, TN, 37407. Notice to Administrator shall be sent to the address noted below. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of providing written notice, any party may initiate an arbitration.

At your or Sponsor’s request, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision explaining the basis for the award.
    5. No class action, private attorney general, or other representative claims may be pursued in arbitration. Unless agreed in writing, Claims of two or more people cannot be joined or consolidated in the same arbitration. 
    6. An arbitration award is limited to actual damages. The arbitration award shall not include statutory damages, disgorgement of profits, lost profits, consequential damages, or punitive damages. 
    7. This Promotion involves interstate commerce and these Official Rules and any arbitration proceedings are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
