FROM BRINGING APPROPRIATE CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, 

BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OR A 

STATE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. 

YOU AND SPRINT FURTHER AGREE THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR 

YOU WILL JOIN ANY CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER 

PERSON OR ENTITY IN A LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER 

PROCEEDING; THAT NO CLAIM EITHER SPRINT OR YOU HAS 

AGAINST THE OTHER SHALL BE RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE 

BASIS; AND THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL ASSERT A 

CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE 

ELSE. IF FOR ANY REASON THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES 

NOT APPLY TO A CLAIM, WE AGREE TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.

A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the 

arbitration. The arbitration will be filed with and the arbitrator will 

be selected according to the rules of either JAMS or the National 

Arbitration Forum ("NAF"), or, alternatively, as we may mutually 

agree. We agree to act in good faith in selecting an arbitrator. The 

arbitration will be conducted by and under the then-applicable rules 

of JAMS or NAF, wherever the arbitration is filed or, if the arbitrator is 

chosen by mutual agreement of the parties, the then-applicable rules 

of JAMS will apply unless the parties agree otherwise. All expedited 

procedures prescribed by the applicable rules will apply. We agree to 

pay our respective arbitration costs, except as otherwise required by 

rules of JAMS or NAF, as applicable, but the arbitrator can apportion 

these costs as appropriate. The arbitrator's decision and award is final 

and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court 

with jurisdiction.

If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim 

that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such 

action or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay 

the other party's costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or 

compelling arbitration, including attorneys' fees.

If any portion of this Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes section is 

determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the 

Section remains in full force and effect.
