Each Participating Public Agency will be exclusively responsible and deal directly with Cintas on matters relating to length of agreement, ordering, delivery, inspection, acceptance, invoicing, and payment for products and services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement. By executing this Acceptance Agreement, the Customer identified on Page 1 herein agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in the Master Agreement as a Participating Public Agency and the terms and conditions set forth in this Acceptance Agreement. Master Agreement #001299 available at https://www.omniapartners.com/publicsector. 2.Dispute Resolution – Arbitration and Class Waiver: This provision shall take precedence over and supersede any contrary or conflicting provision in the Master Agreement. a. Arbitration Notice: Customer agrees to the maximum extent permitted by law that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Acceptance Agreement (including its enforcement, performance, breach, arbitrability, or interpretation) or to the products or services provided hereunder will be submitted to and resolved by final and binding individual arbitration. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT AN ARBITRATOR, AND NOT A JUDGE OR A JURY, WILL DECIDE THE DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND CINTAS ARE EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PURSUE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS OR PROCEEDINGS EITHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN ANY COURT. To the extent a class or collective action or representative claim or proceeding may not be waived, you agree to stay any such actions, claims, and proceedings until after all actions, claims, and proceedings subject to arbitration are fully resolved. b. Arbitration Procedures: Any arbitration between Customer and Cintas will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Acceptance Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Cintas. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the state in which Customer is located; provided, however, that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, Customer may choose for the arbitration instead to conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; or (ii) through a telephonic hearing. The arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. c. Fees: Arbitration fees will be assessed consistent with the AAA Rules. d. No Class Actions in Arbitration or in Any Court, No Jury Trial: CUSTOMER AND CINTAS AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN ANY COURT. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH CUSTOMER AND CINTAS AGREE OTHERWISE, AN ARBITRATOR OR JUDGE MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTICIPATING PUBLIC AGENCY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, CUSTOMER AND CINTAS AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-REPRESENTATIVE, NON-CLASS BASIS IN ARBITRATION, BUT IF FOR ANY REASON SUCH DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT, CUSTOMER AND CINTAS AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE THE DISPUTE PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY WHATSOEVER. IF THE DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT, CUSTOMER AND CINTAS AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. e. Enforceability: If the requirement to submit any and all disputes, controversies, and claims to binding arbitration is found to be unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, the dispute, controversy or claim will be resolved in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State in which the Participating Public Agency exists. f. Severability: If any section or provision of this ¶ 2, Dispute Resolution – Arbitration and Class Waiver, is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the parties will substitute an enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, preserves the original intentions of the parties, and the remainder will be given full force and effect. 3.Dispute Resolution – Timing of invoice challenges: Requests for an invoice adjustment or challenges to invoice amounts must be received by Cintas within 60 days of Customer’s receipt of the contested invoice, or any billing dispute is waived. Notification to Cintas of a request for an invoice adjustment must be made in writing and must include the invoice number, disputed amount, and the reason for the disputed charge. 4.In the event of any conflict between this Acceptance Agreement and the Master Agreement, the Master Agreement shall prevail, except to the extent this Acceptance Agreement specifically provides that it is superseding a provision in the Master Agreement.
