Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake relating to your use of SIRE.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AS SET FORTH BELOW.
Most user issues can be resolved informally by contacting SIRE customer service by e-mail at Info@IndianWillsOnWheels.org. However, if you have a dispute with SIRE, and you are unable to resolve the dispute informally, you and SIRE agree that upon demand by either you or SIRE, the dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration. A “dispute” is any unresolved disagreement between you and SIRE, regardless of when the claim arose, and includes claims based on contracts, torts, statutes, regulations, common law, and equitable claims. All statutes of limitation applicable to any dispute shall apply in any arbitration between you and SIRE.
YOU AND NATIVEWILL AGREE THAT YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN COURT. You and SIRE further agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and that neither you nor SIRE shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against others in any arbitration, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or on behalf of the general public, or as a private attorney general. If this limitation is found to be unenforceable, it shall not be severable, and this entire arbitration provision shall be unenforceable. You and SIRE agree that the arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. In the event of any inconsistency between this arbitration provision and any provision contained in any other applicable Guidelines, disclaimer or privacy policy relating to SIRE, this arbitration provision shall control.
Each arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by the University of Washington Mediation Clinic, www.law.washington.edu/clinics/mediation, or by calling 1-206-685-4140. In the event of any inconsistency between the clinic rules and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision shall control. Either party may demand arbitration of a dispute at any time, regardless of whether a lawsuit or other proceeding has previously been commenced. Either party may demand arbitration by contacting the University of Washington Mediation Coordinator at 1-206-685-4140 or mediates@u.washington.edu. You should attach a copy of this arbitration provision, which will remain available online. If you demand arbitration, you must send a copy of the form or other demand, by U.S. Certified Mail or other overnight, traceable courier, addressed to: SIRE, P O Box 2248, Yelm, Washington 98597. If SIRE demands arbitration, you will be sent a copy of the form or other demand, by U.S. Certified Mail or other overnight, traceable courier at the most current postal address that SIRE has for you in its records. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, each party will remain solely responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration.
You and SIRE agree that: (1) the parties are participating in transactions affecting interstate commerce; (2) this arbitration provision and any resulting arbitration are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code); (3) the arbitrator shall decide any dispute regarding the interpretation, application, or enforceability of this arbitration provision; (4) neither party will disclose, to any third party, any information obtained from the other party in the arbitration proceeding, except as required by applicable law; and (5) neither party will be entitled to rely on any arbitration award, finding of fact, or conclusion of law issued in any other arbitration proceeding involving only one of the parties. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of any other contract between you and SIRE.
