MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE.

You and We agree to resolve any Claim exclusively through binding and confidential arbitration, as set forth in this provision. As used in this provision, “We” and “Us” mean In-N-Out Burgers, its predecessors, successors, and assigns, and all of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives. In addition, “We” and “Us” include any third party providing any product, service, or benefit to You or Us in connection with these Terms and Conditions (as well as any related or prior agreement that You may have had with Us or them) or a Card if such third party is named as a co-party with Us in any Claim.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, You are giving up Your right to go to court to assert or defend Your rights except for matters that You file in small claims court in the state or municipality of Your residence within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court and as long as such matter is only pending in that court. Additionally, notwithstanding this arbitration provision, either party may seek emergency equitable relief in federal court if it has jurisdiction or, if it does not, in a state court located in the federal judicial district of Your residence in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and each party hereby agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the federal judicial district of Your residence for such purpose. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate.

Governing Rules and Procedures. You and We agree that these Terms and Conditions evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. You and We further agree that the arbitration will not be subject to any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).

The Rules and Procedures and information about arbitration and fees are available upon request from AAA by phone at 1-800-778-7879 or online at www.adr.org.

Informational Dispute Resolution/Demand for Arbitration Required. The party wishing to initiate arbitration must submit a written demand for arbitration (“Demand”) to the other party. If You want initiate a Claim, You must first submit a Demand by certified mail to In-N-Out Burgers, Legal Department, ATTN: Arbitration Demand, 4199 Campus Drive, Ninth Floor, Irvine, CA 92612. If We want to initiate a Claim, We will serve a Demand upon you by sending a copy by certified mail to your last known address as is available in the public record. You and We agree to service of process in this manner. Any Demand by either party must identify the parties to the Claim, describe the legal and factual basis of the Claim, and specifically state the remedy being sought. The Demand must be sent within the time limits that would apply to a party’s Claim if it were being resolved in a court and not by arbitration. The sent date will be determined by the date of postmark on the envelope in which the Demand is mailed. If the Claim is resolved within sixty (60) days, the Demand will not be forwarded to AAA for initiation of an arbitration.

Arbitration Procedures. If a Demand for arbitration is made and the Claim is not resolved within sixty (60) days, the Demand is to be forwarded to AAA by the party that prepared the Demand. In addition to other agreements in this arbitration provision, You and We agree that: (a) any Claims brought by You or Us must be brought in the party’s individual capacity, and not as a representative plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding -- YOU ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; (b) the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and may not award class-wide relief; (c) in the event that You are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, We will pay as much of Your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary and reasonably appropriate to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (d) We also reserve the right, in Our sole and exclusive discretion, to assume responsibility for any or all of the costs of the arbitration; (e) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (f) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are expressly permitted by applicable law; (g) each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party and, in such instance, the fees and expenses awarded will be determined in accordance with the applicable law; (h) the arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to the law governing the Claims, including, but not limited to, punitive damages; (i) the arbitrator must apply the Federal Rules of Evidence; (j) the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the Rules and Procedures; and (k) judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

Location of Arbitration. Unless You and We agree otherwise, any arbitration will take place in the federal judicial district of Your residence.

Selection of the Arbitrator. You and We agree that the arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator will be from AAA and have substantial experience in resolving consumer-related disputes.
