9.1. NOTICE OF DISPUTE.
FOR ANY PROBLEM OR DISPUTE THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH THE USA TABLE TENNIS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU WILL FIRST GIVE THE USA TABLE TENNIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE YOUR PROBLEM OR DISPUTE. THIS INCLUDES YOU FIRST SENDING A NOTICE OF DISPUTE, WHICH IS A WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT SETS FORTH THE NAME, ADDRESS, AND CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE PARTY GIVING IT, THE FACTS GIVING RISE TO THE DISPUTE, AND A PROPOSED SOLUTION.

9.2.Small Claims Court:
You may litigate any dispute in the Small Claims Division of the El Paso County Court in El Paso County, Colorado if the dispute meets all the requirements to be heard in small claims court. You may litigate in small claims court whether or not you negotiated informally first.
9.3.Binding Arbitration:
If you and the USA Table Tennis, do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this section. 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.
9.4 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 the USA Table Tennis, Inc. will seek to have any dispute heard as a class 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.
9.5 Arbitration Procedures:
Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. You agree that the location of any arbitration hearing will be in El Paso County, Colorado. The USA Table Tennis agrees to commence arbitration only in your county of residence. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator may award the same compensatory damages to you individually as a court could, but shall have no power to award punitive damages or any statutory penalties, but shall have no power to enter any declaratory or injunctive relief.
9.6. Claims Or Disputes Must Be Filed Within One Year:
To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under this agreement must be filed within one year in small claims court, or in an arbitration proceeding. The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of Dispute first could be filed. If a claim or Notice of Dispute isn't filed within one year, it's permanently barred.
9.7 Survival: THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
