APPENDIX 1 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND SHERWIN-WILLIAMS TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH SHERWIN-WILLIAMS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND SHERWIN-WILLIAMS CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER.  

(a) Arbitration Agreement and Jury Waiver. You and Sherwin-Williams mutually agree to resolve all Disputes (as defined below) in arbitration, as set forth in more detail below. Both you and Sherwin-Williams are each giving up the right to have Disputes resolved in court before a judge and/or jury (except as stated otherwise in this section), to the fullest extent of the law. The word “Disputes” means any past, existing, currently pending and/or future disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, losses, liabilities, and/or demands of any kind in any way relating to, in connection with, or arising out of the Sweepstakes or your participation therein, other than intellectual property disputes.

(b) Express Waiver of Right to Jury Trial, Class Actions, and Class Claims. AS TO ANY DISPUTE, BOTH SHERWIN-WILLIAMS AND YOU KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO JURY OR BENCH TRIAL; THE RIGHT TO BRING, MAINTAIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE; AND ANY NORMAL RIGHTS OF APPEAL FOLLOWING THE RENDERING OF THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD, EXCEPT AS APPLICABLE LAW PROVIDES FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER, CERTIFY, OR HEAR ARBITRATION AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. ALL DISPUTES WITH RESPECT TO WHETHER THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION AND ITS TERMS ARE ENFORCEABLE, CONSCIONABLE, APPLICABLE, VALID, VOID OR VOIDABLE SHALL BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY AN ARBITRATOR, AND NOT BY ANY COURT.

(c) Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution. In the event that a Dispute arises between us, Sherwin-Williams is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. Both you and Sherwin-Williams agree that each party will notify the other in writing of any Dispute before initiating arbitration, so that we can try to resolve the Dispute informally and individually, negotiating in good faith. The notice of Dispute must be specific and individual to you and include your name, street address, telephone number, and email, as well as a brief description of the Dispute, the amount of money (if any) at issue, and the specific relief sought. The notice must be signed and include the handwritten signature of, as applicable, either you or a Sherwin-Williams authorized representative, depending on which party is providing notice. Notice sent by you to Sherwin-Williams will be sent to the following email and street addresses: 

The Sherwin-Williams Company
1 Sherwin Way
Cleveland, OH 44113 
Attn: Legal Department 
Email: dispute@sherwin.com

Notice sent by Sherwin-Williams to you will be sent to the email or street address that you provided to Sherwin-Williams. You and Sherwin-Williams then agree to negotiate in good faith about the Dispute through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. The conference will be individual to you; multiple people or entities initiating claims cannot participate in the same conference. If either party has counsel, that party’s lawyer may participate, but the party also must appear and participate. If, and only if, we fail to reach an amicable settlement of the Dispute within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written notice of Dispute, then either party may commence an arbitration proceeding with a written demand for arbitration. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution provision is a prerequisite and condition precedent for initiating arbitration.  Any limitations period and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled from the date the Dispute is noticed to the other side until expiration of this sixty (60) day period.

(d) Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or, if the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration for any reason, with another arbitration provider mutually agreed to by the parties. The AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, and any supplementary rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, shall govern such arbitrations unless they are inconsistent with these Terms & Conditions, in which case these Terms & Conditions control. (A current version of these rules is available here: https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling 1-800-778-7879. These rules may be amended from time to time). Any demand for arbitration filed with the AAA must be individual to you, contain information specific to your Dispute, and be signed and include the handwritten signature of, as applicable, either you or a Sherwin-Williams authorized representative, depending on which party demands arbitration, and the signature of the initiating party’s attorney, if either you or Sherwin-Williams is represented by counsel. Any attorney signing a demand certifies, to the best of the person’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after a reasonable inquiry, that: (i) the demand is not being presented for an improper purpose; (ii) the claims and legal contentions are warranted by existing law or are a non-frivolous argument for changing the law; and (iii) the factual contentions have or will likely have evidentiary support. 

Any arbitration hearing will be conducted in a location reasonably convenient to the parties, by a single arbitrator, or as otherwise provided by the Consumer Arbitration Rules. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment upon such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have the authority to award the same relief that would be available in court under the applicable law for the Dispute, but any relief awarded in arbitration, including any injunctive or declaratory relief, must be consistent with the limitation of liability provisions set out in these Terms & Conditions and must be in favor of and applicable to only the individual party seeking relief, with no preclusive effect in Disputes with other parties. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against any person or entity not a party to the proceeding. More information about the arbitration process is available at www.adr.org. 

(e) Federal Arbitration Act. These Terms & Conditions affect interstate commerce, and the interpretation and enforceability of this dispute resolution provision will be substantively, procedurally and exclusively governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, except as modified by these Terms & Conditions. 

(f) Confidentiality. Any arbitration will be confidential, and documents exchanged may not be used or shared outside of the arbitration process without the prior written consent of the parties or as required by law. Also, except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right.

(g) Arbitration Fees and Costs. The filing party must pay the filing and other fees and costs of arbitration as provided by the applicable AAA Rules, and in the case of a commercial arbitration, the filing party must pay all filing and other fees and costs of arbitration. Any arbitration fees and costs paid by a party are subject to fee- or cost-shifting to the other party, if the arbitrator determines that the matter is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. Each party will pay its own deposition, witness, expert, and attorneys’ fees and other expenses to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in court. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees and costs to be awarded to the prevailing party, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with the applicable statute or written agreement. The arbitrator will resolve any dispute as to the reasonableness of fees or costs awarded under this paragraph.

(h) Multiple Individual Claims. Arbitration is intended to be an efficient and fair process for resolution of Disputes for both parties. It is, accordingly, a breach of this arbitration agreement and Terms & Conditions to bring or file an arbitration demand as part of a collection of multiple individual claims for the purpose of requiring the other party to incur excessive filing fees through the AAA or other arbitration provider. Should twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law firms or organizations be submitted to AAA or another arbitration provider against Sherwin-Williams within a thirty (30) day period (or otherwise in close proximity), then the parties will discuss, negotiate, and work in good faith with the AAA or other provider to develop effective, reasonable, and cost-efficient procedures that minimize filing and other fees to the parties in the arbitration but maintain individualized arbitrations of the Disputes. 

(i) Litigation of Small Claims and Intellectual Property Disputes. Each party retains the right to: (i) elect to have any claims heard in small claims court on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis for Disputes within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction, up to thirty (30) days after the party is given notice of the filing of an arbitration demand; and (ii) seek injunctive or other relief in any court of competent jurisdiction regarding any intellectual property dispute between the parties in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. You hereby irrevocably consent to jurisdiction and venue of the State, Federal, and other courts of the State of Ohio with respect to any such injunctive or other relief. The parties acknowledge that their respective rights in their intellectual property are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving those rights peculiar value, the unauthorized use, disclosure or loss of which cannot be readily estimated and may not be adequately compensated for in monetary damages.
