IN ARBITRATION YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING. IN ARBITRATION, A DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN COURT PROCEDURES AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW.

A.                 Dispute Resolution/Arbitration. Any Disputes relating to your use and occupancy of the Campground and/or these Rules & Regulations (and, as applicable, any Extended Stay Reservations: Rules & Regulations and/or Seasonal Camper Agreement, Payment Schedule and Information) shall be resolved as follows:

                                            i.               Purpose; Definitions of Disputes. Any Dispute shall be determined exclusively and finally by individual arbitration, unless you have exercised your opt-out right pursuant to clause (x) of this Dispute Resolution/Arbitration section and except as otherwise specified in such section. This Arbitration Provision shall be broadly interpreted. “Dispute” means any claim or controversy related to arising from your your use and occupancy of the Campground and/or these Rules & Regulations (and, as applicable, any Extended Stay Reservations: Rules & Regulations and/or Seasonal Camper Agreement, Payment Schedule and Information). The “Parties” means you and us.

                                           ii.               Neutral Arbitrator/No Jury. Any Dispute will be submitted to a neutral arbitrator, for a final and binding determination, known as an award. The arbitrator is an independent decision maker, appointed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), who reviews and weighs evidence provided by all parties, and issues an award enforceable in court. Decisions by an arbitrator are subject to very limited review by a court. Except as expressly provided below in this Dispute Resolution/Arbitration section, you and Management waive and relinquish any and all rights to have a court or a jury resolve any Dispute. You and Management expressly waive any right to a jury trial.

                                          iii.               Individual Basis/No Class Actions. Any Disputes will be arbitrated on an individual basis. There will be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or litigated in any way on a class, mass, or other collective basis, and you and Management waive any right to bring or join any representative or other claim brought on behalf of the general public, other users, or other persons similarly situated. Neither you nor Management may participate in a private attorney general proceeding in court or in arbitration with respect to any Dispute. No Disputes involving you and Management may be joined or consolidated with Disputes by or against any other person. Notwithstanding any language in this Dispute Resolution/Arbitration provision to the contrary, any dispute about the validity or effect of this clause (iii) shall be resolved by a court and not an arbitrator.

                                          iv.               Certain Carve-Outs. Despite this arbitration provision, the you and Management reserve certain rights to proceed in court without waiving their right to arbitrate under this Dispute Resolution/Arbitration provision: (a) Management reserves the right to seek emergency injunctive relief from a court to address any circumstances or behavior, by you or any person that Management believes may present a risk or threat to the safety, security or reputation of any person, location, data system, or other feature or otherwise related to the campsite and its business; and (b) you shall have the right to file a Dispute in small claims court in your city of residence, as long as the matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis; and (c) no provision of this Dispute Resolution/Arbitration provision shall limit the right of either you or Management to seek and use any available remedies, judicial or otherwise, for the purpose of collecting upon or accelerating any debt involved in any Dispute. Any such collection and/or acceleration process shall be governed by applicable law and such procedures may occur outside the arbitration process you and Management so elects, and such election shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate any other issue involved in a Dispute.

                                           v.               Applicable Rules/Location. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1- 800-778-7879 (the “AAA Rules”) except that you and Management expressly agree that the AAA Supplementary Class Rules shall not apply, given the express class waiver above, and further agree that Rules 14(a) and 53 of the Consumer Arbitration Rules shall not authorize any arbitrator or court to find that any class, mass, collective or representative claim may be arbitrated. The arbitration shall be held in Somerset County, New Jersey, unless the Parties agree to another location in writing, or the arbitrator decides to hold a telephonic hearing to reach a decision based solely on the Parties’ submission of documents, or to designate another location reasonably convenient for the Parties. In the event of any conflict between the AAA Rules and these Rules & Regulations, the provisions of these Rules & Regulations shall be controlling.

                                          vi.               Stay of Proceedings. In the event that a Dispute involves both issues that are subject to arbitration and issues that are not subject to arbitration, you and Management unequivocally agree that any legal proceeding regarding the issues not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending resolution of the issues subject to arbitration, except for any proceedings described in clause (iv) of this section above, which actions shall proceed without a stay.

                                         vii.               Final and Binding. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the you and Management, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent this arbitration provision conflicts with any other agreement between you and Management, this arbitration provision shall govern.

                                        viii.               Payment of Fees. The payment of all fees for registration, filing and administration of the arbitration, and the payment of arbitrator fees, shall be governed by the AAA Rules and applicable law, unless otherwise stated in these Rules & Regulations. Each of you and Management shall bear their own legal fees and legal expenses for any arbitration proceeding.

                                          ix.               Notice and Good Faith Negotiation. Should you or Management intend to file an arbitration demand against the other, you and Management agree to notify the other at least thirty (30) days before filing. You and Management agree to attempt to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution to resolve any such dispute or claim during this period. If the filer of an arbitration demand fails to provide that notice, the other party is entitled to seek a stay of the arbitration proceeding from the AAA for thirty (30) days and to participate in settlement negotiations during that period in good faith. Any written notice required or desired to be given hereunder shall be deemed given when personally delivered or after three (3) days deposit in the U.S. Mail, first class postage prepaid or one (1) day after acceptance by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the address given herein or such subsequent address as is given by proper notice.

                                           x.               Opt out Right. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION TO APPLY, WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS YOU MUST SEND A SIGNED LETTER TO THE COMPANY AT SPACIOUS SKIES Campgrounds, 80 MORRISTOWN ROAD, UNIT 3B-272, BERNARDSVILLE, NEW JERSEY 07924 ATTN: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT STATING THAT THE ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY.
