class action or representative action. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be
broadly interpreted.
In arbitration, there is no judge or jury. Instead Disputes are decided by a neutral third-party
arbitrator in a more informal process than in court. In arbitration, there is limited discovery and
the arbitrator's decision is subject to limited review by courts. However, just as a court would,
the arbitrator must honor the terms of the Agreement and can award damages and relief,
including any attorneys' fees authorized by law.
"Disputes‖ shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies against each other
related in any way to or arising out of in any way our Services or the Agreement, including, but
not limited to, coverage, Devices, billing services and practices, policies, contract practices
(including enforceability), service claims, privacy, or advertising, even if the claim arises after
Services have terminated. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you or an
authorized or unauthorized user of the Services or Devices bring against our employees, agents,
affiliates, or other representatives; (b) you bring against a third party, such as a retailer or
equipment manufacturer, that are based on, relate to, or arise out of in any way our Services or
the Agreement; or (c) that Sprint brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to,
(i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and
Sprint, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims or
any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this Agreement or out of a prior Agreement
with Sprint; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or class
member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of this Agreement.
Dispute Notice and Dispute Resolution Period
Before initiating an arbitration or a small claims matter, you and Sprint each agree to first
provide to the other a written notice (― Notice of Dispute‖), which shall contain: (a) a written
description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a
statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute to Sprint should be sent to: General
Counsel; Arbitration Office; 12502 Sunrise Valley Drive, Mailstop VARESA0202-2C682; Reston,
Virginia 20191. Sprint will provide a Notice of Dispute to you in accordance with the ― Providing
Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement‖ section of this Agreement. Sprint will assign a
representative to work with you and try to resolve your Dispute to your satisfaction. You and
Sprint agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration or
small claims action. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt of
the Notice of Dispute, you or Sprint may commence an arbitration proceeding or small claims
action.
Arbitration Terms, Process, Rules and Procedures
(1) Unless you and Sprint agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral
arbitrator and will take place in the county of the last billing address of the Service. The
arbitration will be governed by either: (a) rules that we mutually agree upon; or (b) the JAMS
