arbitration will be decided by a single arbitrator. If the amount in controversy is
greater than or equal to $250,000, the arbitration will be decided by a panel of three
arbitrators. The arbitrator(s) will be chosen pursuant to the rules of the administering
arbitration organization. United States residents may choose JAMS (1920 Main
Street, Ste. 300, Irvine, CA 92614, www.jamsadr.com), or, subject to our approval,
any other arbitration organization. In addition, Canadian residents may choose the
ADR Institute of Canada (234 Eglinton Ave. East, Suite 405, Toronto, Ontario, M4P
1K5, www.amic.org). These organizations' rules can be obtained by contacting the
organization or visiting its website. If the chosen arbitration organization's rules
conflict with this Arbitration Clause, the provisions of this Arbitration Clause control.
The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on all parties.
h. Location of the Arbitration Hearing: Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the
arbitration hearing for United States residents will be conducted in the federal
judicial district in which you reside (in your hometown area) or, for Canadian
residents, in the province in which you reside, and, if you choose, will be in-person.
i. Costs of the Arbitration: Each party is responsible for its own attorney, expert, and
other costs and fees unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, and unless applicable law requires otherwise, if you are
a consumer under the JAMS rules or the rules of another agreed upon arbitration
administrator, Midea will pay or reimburse you for all reasonable fees or costs
to the extent required by law or the applicable arbitration administrator's rules.
Whether or not required by law or such rules, if you prevail at arbitration on any
claim against Midea, Midea will reimburse you for any reasonable fees paid to the
arbitration administrator in connection with the arbitration proceedings. Under
no circumstances will Midea seek from you payment or reimbursement of any
reasonable fees that Midea incurs in connection with the arbitration. If you are
required to advance any fees or costs to JAMS or other agreed upon arbitration
administrator, but you ask Midea to do so in your stead, Midea will consider and
respond to your request.
j. Survival and Enforceability of this Arbitration Clause: This Arbitration Clause shall
survive the expiration or termination, or any transfer, of the warranty on your
Product. If any part of this Arbitration Clause, except waivers of class-action rights,
is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this clause and the
warranty shall remain enforceable. If, in a case in which class-action allegations
have been made, the waiver of class-action rights under this warranty is found to
be unenforceable with respect to any part of the dispute, the parts of the dispute
as to which the waiver of class-action rights have been found unenforceable will be
severed and will proceed in court without reference or application of this Arbitration
Clause. Any remaining parts will proceed in arbitration.
QUEBEC RESIDENTS
