PRIVACY STATEMENT Your use of the Websites is also subject to our Privacy Statement. ARBITRATION / JURY AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER 1. U.S. RESIDENTS: This section affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of jury trial and class actions. Arbitration does not use a judge or a jury. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. Please review this section carefully. This provision encompasses disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Visitor Agreement, your use of the Websites, and your relationship with us, including any of our subsidiary, parent or affiliate companies. Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either you or us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court. Opt-Out. Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court if you opt out of this arbitration provision within thirty days from the earliest date you submitted information on the Websites (the “Deadline”). You may opt out by sending us a written notice with your first name, last name, and the email address you may have used to submit information on the Websites at: American Dairy Queen Corporation Attn: Legal Department – Websites Arbitration Opt-Out 8000 Tower, Suite 700 8331 Norman Center Drive Bloomington MN 55437 Any opt-out not received within three days of the Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your claim in arbitration or small claims court. Arbitration Procedures. For all disputes (whether pursued in court or by arbitration), you must first send a written description of your claim to our Fan Relations department (using the contact information below) to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and we agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty days, you may request arbitration. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules as modified by these terms. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. These terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and not governed by state law. Arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your claim. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or result of any arbitration except as required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the award. Judgment on any award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. Jury and Class Action Waivers. You and we agree that any proceeding, whether in court or in arbitration, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. If you exercise the Opt-Out as specified above, this class action waiver provision will not apply to you. You cannot be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated or representative proceeding without having complied with the Opt-Out process described above. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you hereby waive any right to a jury trial. 2. RESIDENTS OF CANADA: EXCEPT IN QUEBEC OR WHERE OTHERWISE PERMITTED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW, THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. This provision encompasses disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Visitor Agreement, your use of the Websites, and your relationship with us, including any of our subsidiary, parent or affiliate companies. Disputes will be resolved by arbitration using the Canadian Arbitration Association Expedited Arbitration Rules, or in small claims court. The arbitration shall be held in Toronto and shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Canadian Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In any such presiding, the losing party will pay the legal expenses of the prevailing party. You are thereby giving up your right to go to court, except that: a. You or we may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for a hearing by such a court. OR b. Opt- Out: Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court if you opt out of this arbitration provision within thirty days from the earliest date you submitted information on the Websites (the “Deadline”).

If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.
