16. Governing Law

These Official Rules, and any action related thereto, will be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law and the laws of the State of California without regard to
conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 15 “Dispute
Resolution and Arbitration” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you
and ZAM are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles
County, California and you and ZAM each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such
courts.

17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or
controversy arising out of or relating to these Official Rules or the breach,
termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or participation in the
Sweepstakes (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding,
individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or
proceeding. You and ZAM agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the
interpretation and enforcement of these Official Rules, and that you and ZAM are
each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This
arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Official Rules.

(b) Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 15(a) above: (i) we both may seek to
resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right
to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the
infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules
(the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Official Rules. The
AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who
wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and
give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a
form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearings will take place
in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location.
The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues
relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration
agreement.

(d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be
governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and
arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute
frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and
won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled

7
to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable
law.

(e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in 13(b) above, the arbitrator
shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either
party and 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. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek
public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and
effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the
entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent
jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of
public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any
individual claims in arbitration.

(f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ZAM 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. Further, if the
parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate
another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any
form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be
unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section
shall be null and void.

(g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 15(f) (“Class
Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any
part of these Official Rules is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these
Official Rules will still apply.

18. Languages. These Official Rules may be made in multiple language versions. In the
event of a dispute as to the terms of different language versions, the English version shall prevail.

19. Country Specific Notices.

20. If any provision of these Official Rules is invalid under the law, rules, or regulations of a
particular country, it will only apply to the extent permitted.

21. No Affiliation with Social Media Channels.

22. This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated


with, any of the social media channels used in connection with this Contest. Entrants understand
that entrants are providing information to Sponsor and not to the social media channels. The
information provided by entrants will only be used as described in these Official Rules and the
