Prior to initiating arbitration, the party seeking to initiate arbitration shall provide written notice of the potential claim to the other party setting (a “Dispute Notice”) forth: (i) the factual and legal basis for the claim; (ii) contact information for the potential claimant and their counsel, if any; and (iii) the remedies sought, including the amount of claimed damages and the calculation for such damage. Each Dispute Notice shall be provided on an individualized basis.

For the avoidance of doubt, the informal dispute resolution process outlined above is a prerequisite to filing a claim for arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, except that if the arbitrator finds at any time that a claim was filed frivolously, for purposes of harassment, or otherwise in bad faith, then the filing party will reimburse the other party for all costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, associated with that claim.

AAA will administer each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing held by videoconference or in a location decided by the arbitrator for each Batch.
