Sponsor's failure to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of such provision.

13. Disputes:

PLEASE READ THIS "ARBITRATION" SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE.

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings, Entrant agrees to negotiate with Sponsor in good faith on an individual basis. Except where prohibited by law, by entering the Sweepstakes, Entrant agrees and consents that 1)any and all disputes, claims, causes of action or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Official Rules, this Sweepstakes, or the awarding of the prize in the Sweepstakes (“Disputes”) shall be resolved by mandatory, binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (provided that, if for any reason AAA declines to administer the arbitration, the dispute may be arbitrated before JAMS, Inc. or another mutually agreed upon arbitration service pursuant to its own rules for expedited consumer arbitration) ; and 2) any and all Disputes will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action. The arbitration shall be held via documents only, unless the applicable arbitration service provider rules provide for live hearings or for either side to petition for live hearings. In that case, at your option, arbitration hearings may be held by via video hearing or at a mutually-agreeable in-person location.  The arbitration will be conducted in English, and be confidential.  The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state law concerning arbitration, shall apply. Unless the AAA’s rules dictate otherwise (in which case AAA’s rules shall apply), all administrative costs of any arbitration shall be split equally between the parties, and each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, expert fees and expenses. Regardless of the amount in controversy, Sponsor will not request its attorney’s fees, filing fees, AAA administration and arbitrator’s fees (collectively the “Costs”) unless the arbitrator finds that your claims are frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties agree that the arbitration award shall not include consequential or punitive damages or injunctive relief, but shall only award the aggrieved party the actual damages sustained. There shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only the Entrant’s and/or Sponsor's individual claims and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

The arbitration award shall be final and exclusive, and the prevailing party in the arbitration may file an action in court to confirm and to enforce the arbitration award. Any such action, or any claim, cause of action or proceeding not subject to arbitration as set forth in this Section, shall be filed and adjudicated in a state or federal court in Van Buren County, Michigan, and all parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Entrants irrevocably waive any rights to seek and/or obtain injunctive or other equitable relief and any defense of forum non conveniens.

Arbitrator Authority. The arbitrator shall interpret and determine the validity of the arbitration provision, including unconscionability. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator shall not award consequential damages in any arbitration initiated under this section.

Exceptions.  There are only three exceptions to this arbitration agreement: 1) Either Entrant or Sponsor may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court, so long as the matter remains in that court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; 2) if Sponsor reasonably believes that Entrant has threatened to infringe its intellectual property rights, Sponsor may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and 3) if the arbitrator finds that the arbitration agreement, including class waiver, is unenforceable, in whole or part, the entire arbitration provision shall be null and void and either party may file the action in court.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, 1) Entrants and Sponsor each waive any right to a jury trial; 2)any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred (if any), including costs associated with entering the Sweepstakes but in no event attorneys' fees or legal expenses; and 3) under no circumstances will any Entrant be permitted to obtain any award for, and Entrant hereby waives all rights to claim,  punitive, exemplary, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, any other damages (whether due to negligence, strict liability, contract or otherwise), other than actual out-of-pocket expenses (if any), and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased.

Governing Law. These rules, their interpretation, and any Disputes arising from them, shall be governed by Michigan law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles.

14. Rules Requests: The Official Rules are available online at: https://grasshopperfarms.com/green-ticket/terms.

15. Sponsor: The Contest is sponsored by Grasshopper Farms, LLC, 29003 CR 665, Paw Paw, MI 49079, (the “Sponsor”).

Grasshopper Farms assumes no liability should Winner be unable to access his/her/their wallet account and the prize.

Winner acknowledges that Sponsor is subject to U.S. economic restrictions and trade sanctions and therefore Sponsor reserve the right to deny any distribution of prize when required by law.

Sponsor shall have no liability for any Winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by potential winner for any reason. In Sponsor's sole discretion, selected potential winner may be disqualified and required to forfeit the prize, and an alternate potential winner may be selected in accordance with these Official Rules from among the remaining eligible Entrants’ nominations if selected potential winner: (i) cannot be reached for whatever reason after a reasonable effort has been exerted; (ii) declines or cannot accept, receive or use the prize for any reason; (iii) is found to be ineligible to enter the Contest or receive the prize; or (iv) cannot or does not comply with any provision of these Official Rules.

Selected potential prize winners may be required to participate in a background check and complete (as directed by Sponsor) an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and Publicity Release and W-9 (where permitted by law) (collectively, the "Affidavit"). If potential prize winner does not comply with these requirements, in Sponsor's sole discretion, prize may be forfeited and an alternate potential winner may be selected in accordance with these Official Rules from among the remaining eligible Entrants’ nominations. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification and Affidavit procedures in connection with the selection of alternate potential winner, if any.

In the event that a materially similar entry is received from more than one (1) Entrant, in Sponsor’s sole discretion to determine, the entry will be deemed to be submitted only by the first Entrant from whom the entry was received. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an individual who actually submitted an online entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email account. "Authorized account holder" is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email account by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization (e.g., business, educational, institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

ANY POTENTIAL WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO A POSSIBLE BACKGROUND CHECK AND VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR AND ITS ADMINISTRATORS AND AGENCIES, AND SPONSOR’S DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES.  SHOULD THE BACKGROUND CHECK RESULTS REVEAL ANY PENDING CRIMINAL CHARGES, FELONY CONVICTIONS, OR OTHER INFORMATION THAT WOULD REFLECT NEGATIVELY ON SPONSOR OR any person or entity affiliated with SPONSOR, IN SPONSOR’S SOLE DISCRETION, THEN SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DISQUALIFY THE RELEVANT POTENTIAL WINNER AND SELECT ANOTHER POTENTIAL WINNER.

13. Disputes:

PLEASE READ THIS "ARBITRATION" SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE.

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings, each  Entrant and Winner  agrees to negotiate with Sponsor in good faith on an individual basis. Except where prohibited by law, by entering the Contest, Entrant agrees and consents that 1)any and all disputes, claims, causes of action or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Official Rules, this Contest, or the awarding of the prize in the Contest (“Disputes”) shall be resolved by mandatory, binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (provided that, if for any reason AAA declines to administer the arbitration, the dispute may be arbitrated before JAMS, Inc. or another mutually agreed upon arbitration service pursuant to its own rules for expedited consumer arbitration) ; and 2) any and all Disputes will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action. The arbitration shall be held via documents only, unless the applicable arbitration service provider rules provide for live hearings or for either side to petition for live hearings. In that case, at your option, arbitration hearings may be held by via video hearing or at a mutually-agreeable in-person location.  The arbitration will be conducted in English, and be confidential.  The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state law concerning arbitration, shall apply. Unless the AAA’s rules dictate otherwise (in which case AAA’s rules shall apply), all administrative costs of any arbitration shall be split equally between the parties, and each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, expert fees and expenses. Regardless of the amount in controversy, Sponsor will not request its attorney’s fees, filing fees, AAA administration and arbitrator’s fees (collectively the “Costs”) unless the arbitrator finds that your claims are frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties agree that the arbitration award shall not include consequential or punitive damages or injunctive relief, but shall only award the aggrieved party the actual damages sustained. There shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only the Entrant’s and/or Sponsor's individual claims and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

The arbitration award shall be final and exclusive, and the prevailing party in the arbitration may file an action in court to confirm and to enforce the arbitration award. Any such action, or any claim, cause of action or proceeding not subject to arbitration as set forth in this Section, shall be filed and adjudicated in a state or federal court in Van Buren County, Michigan, and all parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Entrants irrevocably waive any rights to seek and/or obtain injunctive or other equitable relief and any defense of forum non conveniens.

Arbitrator Authority. The arbitrator shall interpret and determine the validity of the arbitration provision, including unconscionability. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator shall not award consequential damages in any arbitration initiated under this section.

Exceptions.  There are only three exceptions to this arbitration agreement: 1) Either Entrant or Sponsor may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court, so long as the matter remains in that court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; 2) if Sponsor reasonably believes that Entrant has threatened to infringe its intellectual property rights, Sponsor may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and 3) if the arbitrator finds that the arbitration agreement, including class waiver, is unenforceable, in whole or part, the entire arbitration provision shall be null and void and either party may file the action in court.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, 1) Entrants and Sponsor each waive any right to a jury trial; 2)any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred (if any), including costs associated with entering the Contest but in no event attorneys' fees or legal expenses; and 3) under no circumstances will any Entrant be permitted to obtain any award for, and Entrant hereby waives all rights to claim,  punitive, exemplary, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, any other damages (whether due to negligence, strict liability, contract or otherwise), other than actual out-of-pocket expenses (if any), and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased.

Governing Law. These rules, their interpretation, and any Disputes arising from them, shall be governed by Michigan law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles.
