There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Alumni Alliances, 7373 Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite 200, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS' rules. Alumni Alliances will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed on location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of Colorado. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration YOU AND ALUMNI ALLIANCES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Alumni Alliances also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
