Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of
your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to
the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of
these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein,
LG will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated
in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If You prevail in the
arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys' fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable,
by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim
amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a
court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in
the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards
set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees
will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all
monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the
AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek
attorneys' fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the
arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2)
through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA
Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the
AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal
judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to
a telephonic arbitration.
