* Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver: Any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your participation in any Orangetheory Fitness class or use of any equipment at any Orangetheory Fitness studio, including any dispute with the Franchisor or the Franchisor Parties (collectively defined as “Disputes”), shall be governed by Louisiana law regardless of your country or state of origin or the location of any Orangetheory Fitness studio you visit, and notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles. Any Disputes will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, and without a jury, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the Studio at the address or email address listed at the top of this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules (available at www.adr.org). Jurisdictional and arbitrability disputes, including disputes over the formation, existence, validity, interpretation, or scope of this Agreement, and who are proper parties to the Arbitration, will be submitted to and ruled on by the Arbitrator. The party that ultimately loses will be responsible for arbitration costs and reasonable documented attorneys’ fees and costs of both parties. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Either party may obtain injunctive relief (preliminary or permanent) and orders to compel arbitration or enforce arbitral awards in any court of competent jurisdiction. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Neither you, we, nor any other person may pursue a Dispute in arbitration as a class action, private attorney general action, or other representative action, nor may any Dispute be pursued on your behalf in any litigation in any court except as provided above. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. You may opt out of binding arbitration and this class action and jury trial waiver by giving written notice to us within 30 days of signing this Agreement unless a longer period is required by law. Your written notification must be mailed, emailed, or delivered to the Studio at the address or email address listed at the top of this Agreement within 30 days of the date you sign this Agreement and must include your name, your address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes through arbitration.
