with Fiberon through informal negotiation within 60 days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After 60 days,
you may commence arbitration.
4.2. Small Claims Court. You may also litigate any dispute in small claims court in your county of residence, if the
dispute meets all requirements to be heard in the small claims court. You may litigate in small claims court whether or
not you negotiated informally first.
4.3. BINDING ARBITRATION. IF YOU AND FIBERON DO NOT RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY INFORMAL
NEGOTIATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ANY EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WILL BE
CONDUCTED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR
PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a
limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may
enforce the arbitrator's award.
4.4. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be
conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor Fiberon will seek to have any dispute heard as a
class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or
proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another
without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
4.5. Arbitration Procedure, Costs, Fees and Incentives. Any arbitration will be conducted by the American
Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and in many cases it’s Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. For more information, see www.adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879. In any
dispute seeking less than $10,000 in damages, Fiberon will promptly reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA's
and arbitrator's fees if you are the prevailing party. You agree to commence arbitration only in your county of
residence or New London, NC.
5. CHOICE OF LAW
North Carolina law shall govern the interpretation of this Limited Warranty and any claim that Fiberon has breached it,
regardless of conflict of law principles.
