The Winners Circle Program is a free, optional, Viasat incentive program that allows qualified participants to earn “Program Points” for additional sales of certain add-on products offered by or through Viasat which offerings may change, be deleted or added from time to time in Viasat’s sole discretion.

Participants in the Winners Circle Program may redeem accumulated Program Points for products and services made available through Viasat’s third-party Winners Circle Program platform provider, Tango Card, Inc., which platform provider may change from time to time in Viasat’s sole discretion upon notice to you, and may also use Program Points for other purposes as may be provided by Viasat from time to time in Viasat’s sole discretion.

8. Disclaimer Regarding Employment Status
You acknowledge that nothing set forth herein creates an employment, co-employment, contractor or similar relationship between you, on the one hand, and Viasat or any of its affiliates or any of Viasat’s Partners (as defined below), on the other hand. Program Points are an optional incentive for you to meet certain sales or other promotional criteria established by Viasat from time to time, as described above.

9. Dispute Resolution
To expedite resolution of issues and control the cost of disputes, you and Viasat agree that any legal or equitable claim relating to Viasat™ Winners Circle Program Terms and Conditions (as may be modified by Viasat from time to time as set forth herein) or the Winners Circle Program (referred to as a “Claim”) will be resolved as follows: We will first try to resolve any Claim informally. Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding until at least 60 days after one of us notifies the other of a Claim in writing (“Notice”). You will send your Notice to the address set forth in Section 16 below to the attention of the Viasat Legal Department and we will send our Notice to the address on file pursuant to your tax registration for the Winners Circle Program. If you and Viasat are unable to resolve the Claim within 60 days after Notice is received, then Viasat and you agree to arbitrate any and all Claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • Any Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, tort, or any other legal theory;
  • Any Claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement between us;
  • Any Claims that are currently the subject of a purported class action suit in which you are not a member of a certified class; and/or
  • Any Claims that may arise after your participation in the Winners Circle Program.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in the county of your billing address. This Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. If the law allows, these agencies may seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that by entering into this Agreement, you and Viasat each waive the right to participate in a class action and/or a trial by jury. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This Dispute Resolution provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. The arbitration shall be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The Arbitration Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the address on the first page of this Agreement to the attention of the Viasat Legal Department. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, except issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Dispute Resolution provision which shall solely be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. Any arbitration hearings shall take place at a location which is reasonably convenient to you and Viasat. During the arbitration, neither party shall disclose to the arbitrator the amount of any settlement offer made by either party, until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Viasat is entitled. If your claim is for $5,000 or less, you and Viasat agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis (a) of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (b) through telephonic hearings, or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the Arbitration Rules. If your claim is in excess of $5,000, the right to a hearing shall be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficiently explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought in your Claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees related to the arbitration shall be governed by the Arbitration Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Viasat for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claim. YOU AND VIASAT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Furthermore, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claim, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, unless both you and Viasat otherwise agree in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in these Viasat Winners Circle Program Terms and Conditions to the contrary, we agree that if Viasat makes any future change to this Dispute Resolution provision, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the address below. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Dispute Resolution provision in effect immediately prior to our receipt of your written objection to such change. Any cause of action brought by you with respect to these Viasat Winners Circle Program Terms and Conditions, or the Winners Circle Program must be instituted within one year after the claim or cause of action has arisen or it will be barred.
