IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU AND I WILL EACH GIVE UP OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT OF A JURY TRIAL. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, I WILL GIVE UP MY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM I MAY HAVE AGAINST YOU. THE INFORMATION YOU AND I MAY OBTAIN IN DISCOVERY FROM EACH OTHER IN ARBITRATION IS GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND I WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. Any claim or dispute, whether in contract, tort or otherwise (including the interpretation and scope of this Arbitration Provision and the arbitrability of any issue), between Customer me and DWR arising you or your employees, agents, successors or assigns, which arises out of or relating relates in any manner to the making or performance of this Agreement or any transaction pursuant to resulting relationship (including any such relationship with third parties who do not sign this Agreement, such as an assignee of the Agreement) shall, at my or your election (or the election of any such third party), be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration and not by a court action. Any claim or dispute is to be arbitrated on an individual basis and not as a class action. I expressly waive any right I may have to arbitrate a class action. This is called the "Class Action Waiver." I may choose the applicable rules of either the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), JAMS, or another arbitration organization, subject to your approval. I waive the right to require you to arbitrate an individual claim if the amount I seek to recover qualifies as a small claim under applicable law. I understand that I may obtain a copy of the rules of the AAA by visiting its website (xxx.xxx.xxx (xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/)) or of JAMS by visiting its website (xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/)), and I can also refer to the websites to learn how to file for arbitration.

Arbitration Agreement. Please read this carefully. It affects Your rights. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to Your satisfaction by calling Us at (OPTIONAL000) - Every 000-0000. In the unlikely event that We are unable to resolve Your complaint to your satisfaction or if We have not been able to resolve a dispute between Customer after attempting to do so informally, We each agree to resolve any disputes not subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the APSC through binding arbitration or Small Claims Court (in Alabama, this is the Small Claims Docket of the local state District Court) instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Any claim in Small Claims Court shall be limited to the jurisdictional limit of such Court, and DWR any claims in excess of such jurisdictional limit must be pursued through arbitration. This agreement to resolve disputes through Small Claims Court or arbitration is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: (a) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the making relationship between Us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or performance any other legal theory; (b) claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); and (c) claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement Agreement. References to “Mon-Cre,” “You,” and “Us” include Our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or any transaction pursuant to unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or equipment under this or prior Agreements between Us. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, You and Mon-Cre are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) addressed to: General Manager, Mon-Cre Telephone Cooperative, Inc.. P.O. Box 125, Ramer, Alabama 36069-0125 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”) and, in the case of the subscriber, be signed by the account holder. If You and Mon-Cre do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, You or Mon-Cre may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by a party shall not be settled by disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or Mon-Cre is entitled. You currently may obtain and fill out a copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association website from here: xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/aaa/faces/rules/formsearch/conform?_afrLoop=13732670136261&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null#%40%3F_ afrWindowId%3Dnull%26_afrLoop%3D13732670136261%26_afrWindowMode%3D0%26_adf.ctrl-state%3D18u9rehct2_51 and additional information about arbitration at xxxx://xxx. xxx.xxx.xxx. The filing of the Notice of Dispute is required before You can commence an arbitration proceeding, to allow us to seek to reach a voluntary resolution. Mon-Cre will treat the Notice of Dispute as the date an action is commenced for purposes of any applicable statute of limitations. After Mon-Cre receives notice at the Notice Address that You have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse You for Your payment of the arbitration filing fee. All disputes relating to wireless Service will be conducted in accordance with the rulesAmerican Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Wireless Industry Arbitration Rules (“WIA Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. All other arbitrations (including wireless disputes, should the WIA Rules be eliminated) will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at xxx.xxx.xxx, by calling the AAA at 0-000-000-0000. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration provision, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. Unless Mon-Cre and You agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county of Your billing address. If Your claim is for $10,000 or less, We agree that 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 by the AAA Rules. If Your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Mon-Cre will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, You agree to reimburse Mon-Cre for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise Your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. If, after finding in effectYour favor in any respect on the merits of Your claim, the arbitrator issues You an award that is greater than the value of Mon-Cre’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Mon-Cre will pay You an additional $200.00. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the National Futures Associationindividual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND MON-CRE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ARBITTRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
