- Finality of Arbitration: In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter through amicable negotiation.

The Participant waives any right to seek a trial by jury or a class action lawsuit.

PFS makes no warranties regarding the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of sponsor-provided items and is not liable for any allergic reactions or adverse effects.
