If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Official Rules, or their application to a particular person or circumstances, is invalid or unenforceable to any extent, then the remainder of these Official Rules, and the application of all these Official Rules to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected by that determination, and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The failure of Administrator to enforce at any time any provision of the Official Rules shall not be considered a waiver of such provision or any other provision and shall not deprive Administrator of the right thereafter to enforce such provision or any other provision. 

MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER: Any claim, other than a claim by Administrator, that is not resolved informally must be resolved in accordance with the below arbitration provisions. Unless prohibited by federal law, each entrant, including, without limitation, any Potential Winner or Sweepstakes Winner, agrees to arbitrate any and all claims and disputes relating in any way to such entry or the selection of a Potential Winner or Sweepstakes Winner, or delivery or awarding of the Sweepstakes Grand Prize or any other prize (“Arbitration Claims”), except for Arbitration Claims concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision, through 

BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Ontario Arbitration Act, 1991. In any Arbitration Claim to be resolved by arbitration, neither the entrant nor Administrator will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that entrant and Administrator would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. Entrants waive the right to a court or jury trial. All disputes shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and not as a class action, representative action, class arbitration or any similar proceeding. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties. The arbitrator’s authority is limited to entrant and Administrator alone, unless otherwise specifically stated herein. No arbitration decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The parties agree that this arbitration provision extends to any other parties involved in any Arbitration Claims, including, but not limited to, the Released Parties. This arbitration provision shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict. The cost of the arbitration shall be shared equally by Administrator and entrant, but Administrator and entrant shall bear their own costs and attorney’s fees associated with their participation in the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire arbitration provision shall be void. If any portion of this arbitration provision other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision. Prior to initiating an arbitration proceeding under this provision, entrant shall give Administrator written notice of the Arbitration Claim (a “Claim Notice”) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than thirty (30) days, to resolve the Arbitration Claim. Any Claim Notice to Administrator shall be sent by mail to the Ducks Unlimited Canada at 1 Mallard Bay, Stonewall, Manitoba, R0C 2Z0. Any Claim Notice must (a) identify the entrant by name, address, email address, and telephone number; (b) explain the nature of the Arbitration Claim and the relief demanded; and (c) be submitted only on behalf of entrant, 

and not on behalf of any other party. Entrant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Arbitration Claim that Administrator reasonably requests and must give Administrator a reasonable opportunity to respond to the demand for relief. The provisions of this section shall not apply to claims by Administrator.
