DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any SodaStream product
including, but not limited to, claims of personal injury and/or property damage, shall be
submitted to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in
accordance to its then existing Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA Rules are available
online at HYPERLINK ""http://www.adr.org/""www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at
800.778.7879.The Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the U.S. Code) shall govern the
interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings relating to this arbitration. Arbitration is more
informal than a lawsuit in court. It uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows
for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts.
Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. By agreeing
to arbitration, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to
maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative
proceeding, to settle their disputes.Any claim shall be brought only in the party's individual
capacity, and shall not in any case be brought by the party as a plaintiff or class member in
any purported class or representative proceeding. A party who intends to seek arbitration
must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (""Notice""). The
Notice to SodaStream® should be addressed to SodaStream's Corporate Office set out on
www.sodastream.com (""Notice Address""). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and
basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If an agreement to
resolve the claim is not reached within 30 days after the Notice is received, any party may
commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement
offer made by a party shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. There shall be one arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including, but not
limited to, any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration
provision or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The arbitrator's award shall be
binding on all parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction.
