Mandatory Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY PRE-DISPUTE RESOLUTION, BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
 

IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY LAW TO THE CONTRARY, YOU MUST PROVIDE NOTICE TO SPORTS ILLUSTRATED RESORTS CLUB, PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, OF ANY CLAIM WITHIN ONE YEAR OF ITS ACCRUAL OR YOUR CLAIM SHALL BE WAIVED AND TIME-BARRED.
 

Mandatory Informal Pre-Dispute Resolution Process:  Should you and Sports Illustrated Resorts Club have a Dispute (as defined below), Sports Illustrated Resorts Club is committed to engaging with you to resolve it.  Therefore, for any Dispute that arises between you and Sports Illustrated Resorts Club, the parties agree that they will first make a good faith effort to resolve it informally.  This informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to commencing any formal proceeding in arbitration or small claims court.  The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this process.
 

For your Disputes with Sports Illustrated Resorts Club, you must first provide your name, address, telephone number, email address, and sufficient information for Sports Illustrated Resorts Club to identify any transaction at issue; a detailed description of your Dispute; and the nature and basis of your claims and the relief sought to the following email address: SIROwnerSupport@travelandleisure.com.  You and Sports Illustrated Resorts Club agree to negotiate in good faith about the Dispute, including through an informal and individualized telephone conference between you and Sports Illustrated Resorts Club.  If either party to the Dispute is represented by counsel, that party’s counsel may participate, but the party also must personally appear at and participate in the conference.  This process should lead to resolution of the Dispute, but if the matter is not resolved within sixty (60) days after Sports Illustrated Resorts Club’s receipt of the written description detailed above, you and Sports Illustrated Resorts Club agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below.  This time period will start to run upon receipt of the information referenced above.
 

Arbitration:  You and Sports Illustrated Resorts Club agree that any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and the Company, or the Company's employees, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, representatives, or assigns (“Dispute(s)”), shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except that you or the Company may elect to have a Dispute heard in small claims court seeking only individualized relief so long as (1) the amount claimed is within the jurisdiction of that court and (2) the action remains in that court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.  In addition, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.  “Dispute” shall be interpreted broadly and shall also include all Disputes that arose before your agreement to these SMS Terms, and which arise after the termination of this agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, issues related to the scope, validity, and/or enforceability of this arbitration agreement are for a court to decide.
 

There is no judge or jury in arbitration and arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, APART FROM THE NARROW EXCEPTIONS ABOVE, YOU AND SPORTS ILLUSTRATED RESORTS CLUB ARE EACH WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO RECEIVE A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
 

THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD DECLARATORY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.  THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD RELIEF FOR OR AGAINST ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.  FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SPORTS ILLUSTRATED RESORTS CLUB AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.  IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF MAY NOT BE WAIVED AND ALL APPEALS FROM THAT DECISION HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED (OR THE DECISION IS OTHERWISE FINAL), THEN THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PARTICULAR CLAIM FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF SHALL BE SEVERED AND STAYED PENDING ARBITRATION OF THE REMAINING CLAIMS.  IF THIS SPECIFIC PARAGRAPH IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION (EXCEPT FOR THE JURY TRIAL WAIVER) SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.
 

Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) as modified by this arbitration agreement. The AAA Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on its website.  If AAA is unable to administer a proceeding under this arbitration provision as written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization that will administer a proceeding under this arbitration provision as written.  If the parties cannot agree, the parties shall mutually petition a court of appropriate jurisdiction to appoint an individual arbitrator to administer a Dispute under this arbitration provision as written and applying the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 
 

Sports Illustrated Resorts Club will pay its arbitration costs as required by AAA or applicable rules, and in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Sports Illustrated Resorts Club will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation.  Each side shall pay their own attorneys' fees, costs,  and arbitration fees unless the arbitrator finds, among other grounds, (1) that either the substance of a claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), or (2) the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be reimbursed its fees and litigation costs, and in such instances, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the arbitrator consistent with applicable law and with the applicable rules.  The arbitrator may consider whether a party had previously offered full relief to the other party or whether the proceeding is part of multiple case filings.  The provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall also apply.  The arbitration award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding involving a different party. 
 

The arbitration may be conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person at a mutually agreed-upon location convenient for you.  You agree to appear at an initial conference with the arbitrator and at any hearing, along with your counsel if you are represented.     
 

Nothing in this arbitration provision is intended to preclude application of AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filings fee schedule if the requirements of that schedule are met. Should the requirements for application of that fee schedule be met, the parties agree to use that fee schedule and you understand that the adjudication of your claim might be delayed. If the requirements for the fee schedule are met, the parties also agree to work in good faith to coordinate pre-hearing procedures including discovery, among the qualifying cases. The parties also agree to work cooperatively and in good faith to establish protocols that would result in streamlined procedures and reduced arbitration filing and administrative fees. If AAA is not available, the parties will mutually select an alternative arbitral forum and similarly work together to stage proceedings and reduce arbitration fees should they be part of a group filing.
 

As referenced above, this dispute resolution section shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.  It shall survive any termination or cancellation of these SMS Terms. Any amendments to this dispute resolution section shall be prospective only and shall not affect any pending Dispute for which Sports Illustrated Resorts Club has notice or pending arbitration proceeding.
 

YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND SPORTS ILLUSTRATED RESORTS CLUB ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
 

Changes to Terms

The SMS Terms may be updated by Sports Illustrated Resorts Club at any time without prior notice. By continuing to be enrolled in any Sports Illustrated Resorts Club text messaging program, you agree to any changes.
