There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.  However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim, to:

TopBuild Corp.
475 N. Williamson Boulevard,

Daytona Beach, FL 32114

Attn: General Counsel / Arbitration Notice

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.  The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.  TopBuild will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.  TopBuild 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 location. 

YOU AND TOPBUILD EACH AGREE THAT any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.  If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and TOPBUILD each waive any right to a jury trial.
