RULES CHANGES AND INTERPRETATIONS:
Esusu reserves the right in its sole discretion to supplement or make changes to these Rules as well as the rules of any contest at any time without notice. Esusu reserves the right in its sole discretion to interpret the rules of any contest, and such interpretation shall be binding upon all Participants.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE:
This Arbitration Agreement applies to U.S. residents participating in the Sweepstakes. Any dispute or claim arising from participation in the Sweepstakes, use of Esusu platforms, including the Esusu Mobile App, or a Participant’s interactions with Esusu will be resolved by binding arbitration, except for (1) claims eligible for small claims court and (2) disputes over intellectual property rights, which may be resolved in court. 

Arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Rules for claims under $250,000 or Comprehensive Rules for larger claims. To initiate arbitration, a participant must send a written notice of their claim to Esusu Inc., 200 Broadway, 3rd Floor, Suite 209, New York, NY 10038. Arbitration may occur by phone, written submissions, or in person in Delaware. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve disputes about these Rules, including claims that all or part of the Rules is void or voidable, and may award any relief available in court. The arbitrator’s decision is final, binding, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

Participants and Esusu waive the right to a trial by judge or jury, opting for arbitration instead. All claims must be arbitrated individually, not as part of a class or collective action. If a court finds the prohibition on class or collective actions unenforceable, the affected claim may be brought in court, while all other claims remain subject to arbitration.

These Rules, including this Arbitration Agreement, are governed by the internal substantive laws of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. For actions where the Rules permits seeking injunctive or other equitable relief, Participants and Esusu submit to the personal jurisdiction of Delaware state courts. 

If any part of the Rules is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. This Arbitration Agreement survives the termination of a Participant’s relationship with Esusu.
