3. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, ABUSE OF PROGRAM AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
a. Informal Dispute Resolution. It is the goal of Cinépolis that the Site, your purchase and our service meet your expectations. However, there may be instances when you have a problem or dispute that needs special attention. In those instances, Cinépolis is committed to working with you to reach a resolution that reasonably satisfies both you and Cinépolis; but, we can only do this if we know about and understand your issue. Therefore, for any problem or dispute that you may have with Cinépolis, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give Cinépolis an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes you first sending a written description of your problem or dispute using the following email address: dl_privacypolicy@cinepolis.com or mailing address: Privacy Manager, 14951 Dallas Parkway Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254.

You then agree to negotiate with Cinépolis in good faith about your problem or dispute and this good faith negotiation shall be a condition precedent to the filing of any arbitration or other proceeding described below. This negotiation should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after Cinépolis's receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below.

b. Mandatory Binding Arbitration. You agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of the Site, your use of the Site, your purchase, our service or this Agreement, shall be final and binding arbitration on an individual basis; except to the extent that you have in any manner infringed upon or violated or threatened to infringe upon or violate Cinépolis' or any third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy or publicity rights, you acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought by Cinépolis and/or the applicable third party(ies). You and we acknowledge that the Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under the Agreement (despite any other choice of law provision).

Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). For claims of less than or equal to $75,000 (exclusive of attorney’s fees, costs, and alleged punitive damages or penalties), the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at https://www.adr.org.

Upon your filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims that total less than or are equal to $75,000 (exclusive of attorney’s fees, costs, and alleged punitive damages or penalties). For claims that total more than $75,000, the payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. You and we agree to pay our own other fees, costs, and expenses, including those for any attorneys, experts, and witnesses. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys' fees. In addition, for claims under $75,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith with Cinépolis as required above, before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, Cinépolis agrees not to seek an award of attorneys' fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law. As a limited exception to the agreement to arbitrate, you and we agree that you may take claims to small claims court, if your claims qualify for hearing by such court.

c. Opt-Out. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION WITH REGARD TO ANY PARTICULAR INTERACTION WITH THE SITE OR OUR SERVICE, THEN WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF SUCH INTERACTION, YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS PART OF THE AGREEMENT BY EITHER EMAILING: dl_privacypolicy@cinepolis.com or MAILING: Privacy Manager, 14951 Dallas Parkway Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254. Any opt-out received after the thirty (30) day time period will not be valid and you must pursue your claim via arbitration pursuant to these Terms.

d. Class Action Waiver. Arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any disputes to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator's authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to disputes between you and us alone. Disputes may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SITE, PURCHASE OR SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction without a jury and not in arbitration.

e. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. WE BOTH AGREE THAT, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND CINÉPOLIS BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL INVOLVING ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN US.

f. Limitations Provisions. In no event shall any dispute, claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Site, your use of the Site, your purchase or our services, or this Agreement, be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

g. Abuse of the program, including failure to abide by these Terms, the sale or transfer (or the attempted sale or transfer) of rewards, points, or promotional offers, and any misrepresentation of fact or other improper conduct as determined by Cinépolis USA in its sole discretion and judgement may result in cancellation of a Member's Cinépolis Rewards account and future disqualification from program participation, forfeiture of all points accrued, and cancellation of previously issued but unused rewards. Cinépolis USA reserves the right in our sole discretion to prosecute abuse of the program to the fullest extent of the law. 

4. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT SHALL CINÉPOLIS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFIT OR GOODWILL REGARDLESS OF (A) THE NEGLIGENCE (EITHER SOLE OR CONCURRENT) OF CINÉPOLIS AND (B) WHETHER CINÉPOLIS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, YOUR PURCHASE OR OUR SERVICES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, CINÉPOLIS’ LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, YOUR PURCHASE OR OUR SERVICE (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF TWENTY FIVE U.S. DOLLARS ($25) AND THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO CINÉPOLIS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACCRUAL OF THE CLAIM, IF ANY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, and you may also have other legal rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. To the extent the clause above is held unenforceable, the remaining terms of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

5. INDEMNITY
You agree to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify Cinépolis, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, licensees, and other partners and employees, from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney's fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the service in violation of this Agreement and/or arising from your breach of any provision of this Agreement.
