33. Mandatory Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. BY USING THE WEBSITE
OR SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND MICHAEL DC, LLC WILL BE
RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT IN COURT.

33.1 Informal Dispute Resolution First

Before starting arbitration or any other formal process, you and Michael DC agree to try to resolve any dispute informally.
• Send a written description of your dispute (your name, the email tied to your account or order, a detailed statement of
the facts, the relief you want, and evidence of your relationship with us) to support@michaeldcsupplements.com or
by mail to:
Michael DC, LLC, P.O. Box 3093, Corpus Christi, TX 78463.
• We will both negotiate in good faith for 60 days after we receive the notice. Any applicable limitations period and filing
deadlines are tolled during this period.
If no resolution is reached within 60 days, either party may commence arbitration as set out below.

33.2 Mutual Arbitration Agreement; Scope; FAA

If informal efforts fail, any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and Michael DC arising out of or relating to the
Website, the Services, products, communications, these Terms, or the validity, enforceability, scope, or interpretation of this
Arbitration section (collectively, “Dispute”) must be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, except as allowed in
“Small Claims & IP Exceptions” below.
• This Arbitration Agreement is made under, and governed by, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16.
• The arbitrator, not any court, has exclusive authority to resolve disputes about arbitrability (including formation, scope,
enforceability, or validity of this Arbitration Agreement), subject to the carve-outs below.
33.3 Small Claims & IP Exceptions; Equitable Relief
Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate:
• Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court within its jurisdictional limits.
• Either party may bring a court action to protect its intellectual property rights (patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets) or to seek public injunctive relief where such relief is non-arbitrable by law.
• A court may determine whether the Informal Dispute Resolution step was satisfied, whether a claim is time-barred, or
whether a claim properly belongs in small claims court. Filing such actions does not waive the right to arbitrate any
other claims.

33.4 Class/Collective Action Waiver (Arbitration)

Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis only. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join claims, preside over any form
of class, collective, representative, mass, or private attorney general proceeding, or award relief for or against anyone who is
not a party to the proceeding, except as provided in Batch Arbitration below.

33.5 Rules; Forum; Seat; Law

• The arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM) under its then-current rules
applicable to consumer disputes, including any Mass Filing or Fee schedules (collectively, the “NAM Rules”). NAM
rules are available at www.namadr.com or via commercial@namadr.com.
• Unless both sides agree otherwise, hearings (if any) will be by video or teleconference; if an in-person hearing is held,
the default locale is Harris County, Texas.
• The seat of the arbitration is Texas, the substantive law applied is Texas law, and the procedural framework is the FAA.

33.6 Procedures; Motions; Confidentiality

• For claims ≤ $10,000 where only monetary relief is sought, arbitration may proceed based on written submissions
unless the arbitrator requires or the parties mutually request a hearing.
• The arbitrator may allow dispositive motions where efficient.
• Unless prohibited by law, proceedings and records shall be confidential and closed to the public, subject to disclosure
needed for court confirmation or vacatur (filed under seal where allowed).

33.7 Batch Arbitration (Mass Filings)

To promote efficiency where many similar demands are filed:
• If 100 or more substantially similar arbitration demands (same or materially similar facts, theories, and requested relief)
are filed against Michael DC and are coordinated by the same counsel or organization (“Mass Filing”), the parties and
NAM will:
a. Administer in batches of 100 demands per batch (a final batch may be fewer than 100). Multiple batches may
proceed at once with reasonable staging.
b. Appoint one arbitrator per batch.
c. Sequence fees so that filing/admin fees for each demand become due only when that demand is placed into a
batch designated to proceed.
d. After the first batch issues awards, the parties and a NAM mediator (chosen from a ranked slate, with each side
striking one) will have a 90-day Mediation Period to try to resolve the remaining demands or agree on a
streamlined methodology.
e. If not resolved, either side may opt out of arbitration for the unresolved demands and proceed in court. Opt-outs
must be noticed within 60 days after the Mediation Period ends. If neither side opts out, batching continues until
all demands are resolved.

If a court or arbitrator finds this Batch Arbitration provision unenforceable, the entire Arbitration Agreement is null and void as
to disputes within the Mass Filing. (This clause does not authorize class arbitration.)

33.8 Arbitrator’s Authority; Relief; Fees

• The arbitrator may award individual monetary or non-monetary relief available under applicable law, and must honor
the limitations in these Terms (e.g., Limitation of Liability).
• Attorneys’ fees may be awarded where authorized by statute.
• If you demonstrate that arbitration costs would be prohibitive versus court, Michael DC will ensure you pay no more
than $250 in filing/hearing fees for the arbitration itself (unless the arbitrator finds your claims frivolous or in bad faith,
in which case fees may be shifted consistent with FRCP 11-like standards and the NAM Rules).

• NAM may reduce or modify the timing of administrative fees in its discretion (including in batch matters). Any good-
faith fee challenge tolls due dates while pending.

You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days of the later of: (a) October 16, 2025 (the current Effective Date),

33.10 Court Venue for Permitted Actions; Jury Trial Waiver

To the extent a dispute may proceed in court (e.g., small claims, IP protection, equitable relief, or opt-out consequences),
exclusive venue lies in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas. You and Michael DC waive any right to a
jury trial in any court proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law

33.11 Severability

If any part of this Arbitration section is found unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall be
enforced to the maximum extent permitted—except that if the Class/Collective Action Waiver or Batch Arbitration clause is
unenforceable as to a Dispute, then the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void for that Dispute (and only that
Dispute). Any severed claim that must proceed in court will be heard exclusively in Harris County, Texas.

33.12 Survival

This Arbitration section (including the Class Action Waiver, Batch Arbitration, Fees, Severability, and Survival provisions)
survives termination of these Terms and fulfillment or cancellation of any orders.

34. Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver; Governing Law (Outside Arbitration)

• Class/Collective Waiver: Whether in arbitration or court, claims must be brought individually only; no class,
collective, consolidated, mass, or representative actions.
• Jury Trial Waiver: To the extent a dispute is permitted to proceed in court, both parties waive jury trial.
• Governing Law: These Terms (and any non-arbitrable disputes) are governed by the laws of the State of Texas,
