Dispute Resolution / Arbitration
G8SW
USER’S GUIDE
This section describes how you agree to resolve any disputes with Amped Wireless
regarding these Terms of Use or your purchase of any product from Amped Wireless and
your use of that product. You and Amped Wireless agree to the following resolution
process.
To begin with, you agree that any claim that you might have against us regarding these
Terms of Use or your purchase of any Amped Wireless product or use of that product
must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration
Association using its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall have exclusive
authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating
to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of our agreement,
including, but not limited to, any claim that all or part of this agreement is void or
voidable. The arbitrator shall also have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by
law to decide the arbitrability of any claim or dispute between you and Amped Wireless.
Because we prefer to resolve our issues with you directly, you agree to arbitrate with
Amped Wireless only in your individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a
G8SW
USER’S GUIDE
class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there shall be no
authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a
purported class representative.
It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may
be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator rules
against Amped Wireless, in addition to accepting whatever responsibility is ordered by
the arbitrator, we will reimburse your reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
It's important to us that we address any issues you might have promptly. To help us do
that, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year after your claim arose;
otherwise, your claim is waived.
Unless you and Amped Wireless agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place
in the county where you reside. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose
whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to
the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established
G8SW
USER’S GUIDE
by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be
determined by the AAA Rules.
If your claim against Amped Wireless is for less than $10,000, Amped Wireless will pay
all arbitration fees. If your claim against Amped Wireless is for $10,000 or more, you are
responsible for paying your own portion of the fees set forth in the AAA’s fee schedule
for consumer disputes, and Amped Wireless will pay all remaining arbitration fees. If you
believe you cannot afford the AAA’s fee, you may apply to the AAA for a waiver.
As an exception to this arbitration agreement, Amped Wireless is happy to give you the
right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as
long as you proceed only on an individual basis.
We would hope that our customer service agents could resolve any disputes you have
with us without resorting to arbitration. Before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you
agree to first discuss the matter informally with Amped Wireless for at least 30 days. To
do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your
G8SW

proposed solution by mail to us at: 13089 Peyton Dr. #C307, Chino Hills, CA 91709; Attn:
Legal Department.
This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, exclusive of conflict or
choice of law rules.
The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving
interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with
respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16).
