Arbitration
Except with respect to any claim or dispute involving the ownership, validity or use of any Stamford Suites trademarks or service marks, any dispute arising out of or related to the Sites (including any claim that any provision of these Terms and Conditions are invalid, illegal, or otherwise voidable or void) will be submitted for and resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

The arbitration shall be held in Bethesda, Maryland and in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA.

You and Stamford Suites waive any rights to maintain other available resolution processes for such disputes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle disputes. You and Stamford Suites waive any right to a jury trial for such disputes. The rules in arbitration are different from the rules that apply in court.

In reaching his or her decision, the arbitrator shall follow these Terms and Conditions, shall be bound to apply the applicable law and shall not rule inconsistently with the applicable law. The arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis, and not as a consolidated, common, representative, group or class. The arbitrator shall include in his or her award any relief he or she deems proper in terms of money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due at the maximum rate allowed by law), and attorneys’ fees and costs. The award of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Confidential. Other than as may be required by law, the entire arbitration proceedings (including, but not limited to, any rulings, decisions or orders of the arbitrator), shall remain confidential and not be disclosed to anyone other than the parties to this Agreement.
Limitations Period. Any and all claims and actions arising out of or relating to the sites shall be commenced within one (1) year from the occurrence of the facts giving rise to such claim or action, or such claim or action shall be barred.
Class Action Waiver. You agree that you will not file a class action against Stamford Suites or participate in a class action against Stamford Suites. You agree that you will not file or seek a class arbitration, or participate in a class arbitration, against Stamford Suites.
