Arbitration and Governing Law

In the event of a dispute between You and CEI, You and CEI agree that a prompt and fair resolution, without the time and expense of formal court proceedings, would be in both parties’ mutual interests. Except as expressly provided in the following section titled “Injunctive Relief,” all disputes shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration to be conducted in Los Angeles, California, or a location closest to Los Angeles, California if no such location for the chosen arbitration body exists there.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT OF EITHER PARTY TO GO TO COURT AND DEMAND A JURY TRIAL.

The party filing the arbitration must choose one of the following three arbitration firms and follow its rules and procedures for initiating and pursuing arbitration:

American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10, New York, NY 10017-4605 (phone: 800-778-7879) (http://adr.org)

National Arbitration Forum, P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405-0191 (phone: 800-474-2371) (http://arb-forum.com)

JAMS, 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92614 (phone: 949-224-1810) (http://jamsadr.com)

In the event that the selected firm cannot administer the arbitration, the party filing the arbitration will select another of the firms. Each party will bear its own expenses, and the parties will share equally the filing and other fees of the arbitration firm and the expenses of the arbitrator, except that the arbitrator will be entitled to award a different allocation of costs and fees where the arbitrator determines that a filed claim is frivolous.

The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Any award in arbitration initiated under this clause will be limited to monetary damages and will include no injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount, except as required by statute or to comply with the terms of the contract. Any award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and binding upon each of the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

During the pending of such arbitration and until final judgment thereon has been entered, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect unless otherwise terminated as provided hereunder. If a provision of this clause is held to be invalid, the remainder of the clause will remain in full force and effect, and, to this end, the provisions of this clause are severable.

This Agreement and all transactions between you and CEI shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that a violation, attempted violation, or threatened violation of any of this Privacy Policy will cause such damage to CEI as will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that CEI shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of this Privacy Policy by you, as well as recover from you any and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by CEI in obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees. You agree that no bond or other security shall be required in connection with such injunction.

For purposes of this Section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such violation, attempted violation, or threatened violation shall be brought in the courts of record of Los Angeles, California a, or the United States District Court, Central District of California. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of the venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. You agree that service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.

Miscellaneous Provisions

If any portion of this Privacy Policy is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, this Privacy Policy as a whole shall not be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, but only that portion of this Privacy Policy that is unlawful, void or unenforceable shall be stricken from this Privacy Policy.

The headings contained in this Privacy Policy are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Privacy Policy, and shall not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Privacy Policy.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Privacy Policy, as may be amended by CEI from time to time, shall survive your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and the termination of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy cannot be orally modified or amended.

This Privacy Policy represents the entire understanding and agreement between you and CEI regarding the subject matter of this Privacy Policy, and supersedes all other previous agreements, understandings and/or representations regarding the same.

CASABLANCA EXPRESS, INC. (CEI) DO NOT CALL POLICY

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) was passed in 1991. The Federal Communications Commission’s rules and regulations implementing the act went into effect on December 20, 1992. The Federal Trade Commission concurrently implements the Act through the Telemarketing Sales Rule, issued January 29, 2003. Various states have also enacted statutes that govern telemarketing activities. It is CBE’s policy to comply with these rules, and in particular, to respect and honor the requests of consumers to be placed on CBE’s internal Do Not Call list, so that such consumers will not receive sales calls from CBE unless and until they provide consent to receive sales calls. CBE retains third-party vendors to telemarket its goods and services to customers as well as non-customers who do not have an existing business relationship with CBE. CBE will not call any CBE customer who has communicated his or her desire to not receive sales calls. Requests to not receive sales calls are reflected in the customer’s account records. Additionally, the phone number will be added to CBE’s internal Do Not Call list. In compiling a list of customers to call for a particular telemarketing campaign, CBE will not include any customer whose account record is marked “do not call.” We will also remove from our calling lists the telephone numbers of those individuals who submit requests directly to us.

Questions about our company’s DNC policies should be directed to:

Third-party vendors who engage in telemarketing to non-customers (persons who do not have an existing business relationship with CBE) are required to subscribe to and scrub against all applicable state and federal “Do Not Call” registries, as well as CBE’s internal Do Not Call list. CBE requires that all third-party vendors telemarketing at its request and under its direction ensure they are in compliance with federal and state laws regarding telemarketing and that they fully understand and agree to follow the procedures for maintaining “do not call” data.

CBE requires its vendors to report to CBE all consumer requests to be removed from telemarketing lists so that each request can be added to CBE’s internal Do Not Call list. CBE does not condone telemarketing activities conducted in violation of the TCPA, federal rules and regulations, and state laws regarding telemarketing.

CBE requires all third-party service agencies that make telephone solicitations at CBE’s request and under its direction to:

Institute procedures for maintaining a list of people who do not wish to receive telephone solicitations (a “do-not-call list”);

Institute and maintain a procedure to capture all do-not-call requests and transmit them in the daily results file to CBE;

Develop a written policy implementing this requirement to keep a do-not-call list and make this written procedure available to anyone on demand;

Maintain the do-not-call list for a period of 10 years and refrain from selling or sharing the do-not-call list (except with a subsidiary or affiliated company) without the customer’s consent;

Train and inform personnel engaged in any aspect of telephone solicitation in the existence and use of the do-not-call list;

Provide the called party with the name of the individual caller, the person or entity on whose behalf the call is made and a telephone number (which may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long distance transmission charges) or address at which that person or entity may be contacted;

Make a record of the name and telephone number of the CBE customer or consumer who requests not to be called again and forward such record to (a) CBE, via the daily results file, (b) the party maintaining the vendor’s do-not-call list and (c) affiliated entities (where appropriate); and

Place the consumer or CBE customer’s name and number on the do-not-call list of any affiliate of the telemarketer where the customer would reasonably expect to be included on such list given the identity of the telemarketer and the product or service being advertised.

CBE maintains a record of the name and telephone number(s) for consumers who do not wish to be called. Upon request, consumers’ telephone number(s) will be added to CBE’s internal Do Not Call List within five (5) business days of receipt of such request. This record will be retained within our system for at up to five (5) years.

You may request to be placed on the internal do not call list by calling 800-315-2065 and speaking with our associate who answers the phone (Please let our associate know you are requesting to be placed on our internal DNC list) or by emailing your full name, address and phone number to optout@CasablancaExpress.com.

Consumers have additional avenues available to them that will help reduce or eliminate unwanted telephone solicitations. Consumers may place their telephone number(s) on the National Do Not Call Registry by calling 1(888) 382-1222 or online at donotcall.gov. In addition, the Direct Marketing Association also offers a free service titled “Telephone Preference Service.” Consumers may register for this service online at dmachoice.org.
