TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER SLING, ITS AFFILIATES NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SITE OR CONTENT WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SITE OR CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT SLING HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Termination

If you violate any of these Terms of Use or any of the Related Documents, your permission to use the Site and Content will automatically terminate with or without notice. Sling reserves the right to revoke your access to and use of the Site or Content at any time, with or without cause. Sling also reserves the right to cease providing or to change the Site or Content at any time in its sole discretion and without notice.

Arbitration

Binding Arbitration. You hereby agree to submit any claim, dispute, cause of action, issue, or request for relief to binding arbitration rather than by filing any lawsuit in any other forum. Arbitration means that any dispute will be decided by an independent arbitrator, and will not be decided in court by a judge or jury. The applicable procedures may be different from procedures followed by a court. In arbitration, there is no right to a jury trial, discovery may be limited, and the grounds for seeking appeal or judicial review of the arbitrator’s award are limited. All arbitration proceedings are final and binding. An arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use to the same extent that any court would. This arbitration clause will survive termination of these Terms of Use. This section is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or Content. Any dispute or claim made by you against Sling or its affiliates arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration.
Arbitration Procedures. You must first present any claim or dispute by contacting Sling at 1-877-759-3754 (customer care service) to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. If your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days, then, you may request arbitration for such claim or dispute by sending written notice to Sling Media L.L.C., 9601 South Meridian Blvd., Englewood, CO 80112. Attention: Office of the General Counsel (Fax: 303-723-1699). The arbitration of any dispute or claim will be conducted in accordance with the then-current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by these Terms of Use. Arbitration will take place in Denver, Colorado, and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what these Terms of Use provide, order consolidation, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. However, if the arbitrator enters an award in your favor, you shall be entitled to an award of any reasonable attorney’s fees or other reasonable costs and expenses you incur in the arbitration; provided that, if the settlement or award in your favor is equal to or less than the amount of a written settlement offer made by Sling prior to selection of the arbitrator(s), you shall only be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees or other reasonable costs and expenses you incurred up to the date of that written settlement offer. The foregoing right to an award of fees, costs, and expenses is in addition to, and does not limit, any such right you may have under the applicable law governing your claim. In any arbitration applying those rules applicable to large/complex cases, the arbitrators must also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the selected arbitrator’s rules. Any arbitration will be confidential, and you shall not disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment of a filing fee is required to commence arbitration. If you commence arbitration against Sling or its affiliates pursuant to this Binding Arbitration clause, and the claim seeks $10,000 or less, Sling will, at your written request, pay the filing fee directly to the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or, if you have already paid it, promptly reimburse you for the amount of the filing fee. In addition, for any arbitration initiated in accordance with this Binding Arbitration provision which does not exceed $10,000, Sling will also pay all other arbitration fees and expenses imposed by the AAA, including administration and arbitrator fees. However, if the arbitrator finds your claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then Sling may seek reimbursement of any AAA fees and expenses it has paid in your behalf. For any arbitration involving claim(s) for more than $10,000, payment of fees and costs shall be governed by the applicable AAA rules.
Time to Bring Claim or Suit. No arbitration, suit, or action can be brought by you more than one year after the date of the incident alleged to have resulted in the loss, injury, or damage (or, if greater, the shortest duration permitted under applicable law).
Class Action Waiver. TO THE EXTENT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR ANY ARBITRATOR MAY IN ANY WAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, ISSUE, OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF THAT YOU MAKE UNDER THIS SECTION OR THAT RELATES TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE RELATED DOCUMENTS WITH ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, ISSUE, OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.

Severability

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and affect.

Waiver

The failure of Sling to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.

Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use, including the Related Documents, are the entire and exclusive agreement between Sling and you regarding the Site and Content, and these Terms of Use and Related Documents supersede and replace any prior agreements between Sling and you regarding the Site and Content.

Effective Date: The Effective Date of these Terms of Use is August 1, 2020
