ARBITRATION / DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Arbitration

YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH TERMS OF USE, YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITES UPON WHICH THIS TERMS OF USE APPEARS AND/OR SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION’S (“AAA”) RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.

This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. The arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of Terms of Use including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of Terms of Use is void or voidable. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with Terms of Use.

There are only two exceptions to this agreement to arbitrate. First, if we reasonably believe that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Second, any claim of $500 or less may, at the option of the claiming party, be resolved in small claims court in the State of Illinois, if the claim and the parties are within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. For these two exceptions, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of Illinois for the purpose of litigating such claims or disputes.

Waiver of Right to Jury; Class Action Waiver

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, YOU AGREE TO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR OTHER COURT TRIAL (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT) OR TO SERVE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, CLASS ARBITRATION, CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS, OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES. 

Jurisdiction

Any offer for any travel programs, services, or products made in the Materials is void where prohibited. This site is controlled and operated by First Midwest Bank from its offices within the State of Illinois, United States of America. First Midwest Bank makes no representation that Materials in the site are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access this site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance.

Severability

If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
