Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration.

arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal
appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is
appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties
with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable
to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s
decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have
authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific
performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual
claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you
from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek
relief against us for you.

States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of Arkansas, without regard to conflicts of law
principles.
