DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
1. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any SodaStream product
including, but not limited to, claims of personal injury and/or property damage, shall be
submitted to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance
to its then existing Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA Rules are available online at
www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 800.778.7879.
2. The Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the U.S. Code) shall govern the interpretation,
enforcement, and proceedings relating to this arbitration.
3. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. It uses a neutral arbitrator instead of
a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited
review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can
award. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving
their rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or
administrative proceeding, to settle their disputes.
4. Any claim shall be brought only in the party's individual capacity, and shall not in any case
be brought by the party as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or
representative proceeding.
5. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a
written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to SodaStream should be addressed to
SodaStream's Corporate Office set out on www.sodastreamusa.com ("Notice Address").
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth
the specific relief sought. If an agreement to resolve the claim is not reached within 30 days
after the Notice is received, any party may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the
arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by a party shall not be disclosed to the
arbitrator.
6. There shall be one arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on his or her own
jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, any objections with respect to the existence, scope,
or validity of the arbitration provision or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim.
7. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on all parties, and judgment upon the award may
be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
