and will be limited solely to the Dispute between you and
FratHoldem.com. The arbitration, or any portion of it, will
not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will
not be conducted on a class-wide or class action basis.
The arbitration shall be held at any reasonable location
in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you prevail in the arbitration of
any Dispute with FratHoldem.Com, FratHoldem.Comwill reimburse you
for any fees you paid to NAF in connection with the
arbitration. Any decision rendered in such arbitration
proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and
judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Should either party bring a Dispute in a
forum other than NAF, the arbitrator may award the other
party its reasonable costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred in staying or dismissing such
other proceedings or in otherwise enforcing compliance
with this dispute resolution provision. You understand
that, in the absence of this provision, you would have had
a right to litigate disputes through a court, including
the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class
action basis, and that you have expressly and knowingly
waived those rights and agreed to resolve any Disputes
through binding arbitration in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph. This arbitration provision
shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
Section 1, et seq. For the purposes of this provision, the
term "Dispute" means any dispute, controversy, or claim
arising out of or relating to: (i) this Privacy Policy,
its interpretation, or the breach, termination,
applicability or validity thereof; (ii) the related order
for, purchase, delivery, receipt or use of any product or
service from FratHoldem.Com; or iii) any other dispute arising
out of or relating to the relationship between you and
FratHoldem.Com; the term "FratHoldem.Com" means FratHoldem.Com, its
parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, beneficiaries, agents, assigns, component
suppliers (both hardware and software), and/or any third
party who provides products or services purchased from or
