8.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION:

(a)        Informal Dispute Resolution.  Prior to filing any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, the party intending to file such a proceeding shall notify the other party in writing of the existence and the nature of the dispute.  The parties each agree that within ten (10) business days of the other party's receipt of such notice, a representative of each party shall meet in-person for a minimum of one (1) eight (8) hour day, or such shorter period of time if the dispute is more quickly resolved, in Orlando, Florida in order to attempt to amicably resolve the dispute.  If such informal dispute resolution attempts prove to be unsuccessful, the notifying party may initiate the dispute resolution procedures available as set forth in Section 8(b).  Each party shall bear its own costs associated with the meeting and in no event shall either party be liable to the other for any costs or expenses incurred as a result of such meeting.

            (b)        Arbitration.  Except as provided in Section 8(c) with respect to injunctive proceedings, and Section 8(a) with respect to informal dispute resolution, all controversies, disputes or claims arising between the parties arising out of or related to the Sweepstakes shall be submitted promptly for arbitration to be conducted in Orlando, Florida, and administered by the American Arbitration Association.  Such arbitration proceedings shall be resolved by a single arbitrator selected by mutual agreement of the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree on the appointment of the arbitrator to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days from the date when the request for arbitration initially has been communicated to the other party, such appointment shall be made by the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the award any relief deemed proper under the circumstances, including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party.  The award and decision of the arbitrators shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The parties waive any right to contest the validity or enforceability of such award. 

            (c)        Injunctive Relief.  The parties acknowledge that violation of these Official Rules would cause irreparable harm that would not be adequately compensable by monetary damages.  In addition to other relief, it is agreed that preliminary and permanent injunctive relief will be available to prevent any actual or threatened violation of such provisions.
