9.     Tier Points are earned at a 1:1 ratio on base Reward Points and are not redeemable.  Tier points track progress throughout the calendar year to each tier level.  Tier points for all participants expire on December 31st, except that Tier Points earned in 2022 will roll over into 2023. Thereafter, all Tier Points for all participants will expire at the end of each Program Year.

10.  There are three Tier Levels of participant accounts: Rookie, All-Star and Champion (each a “Tier Level”).

12.  All-Star: A participant achieves All-Star level upon earning 3,000 Tier Points through qualified participant activity during one Program Year.  A participant will stay at the All-Star level for the remainder of the Program Year in which the participant qualifies and the following full Program Year; after which, annual requalification is required.  If a participant does not earn at least 3,000 Tier Points during a Program Year in order to maintain the All-Star level, the participant will revert back to Rookie level for the following Program Year.

14.  Tier Points are earned at a 1-to-1 value for every standard Reward Point earned, as described below.  Tier Points have no redemption value and are used solely for the purpose of determining a participant’s Tier Level based on their activity during a Program Year.

15.  For participants in the Rookie Tier Level, your Tier Points and your Reward Points will be the same. 

16.

To the extent that NASCAR has your contact information, it will send any such notice to you by U.S. Mail (or for participants outside of the United States, by a reputable postal service), or otherwise to your email address associated with your Program account. NASCAR and you will attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy through informal negotiation within thirty (30) days from the date that any notice of dispute, claim, or controversy is sent. NASCAR and you shall use reasonable, good faith, efforts to settle any dispute, claim, or controversy through consultation and good faith negotiations. After 30 days, NASCAR or you shall resort to the other alternatives described in Sections 78 – 80. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice and 30-day negotiation period required by this Section shall not apply, however, to disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Program Website or NASCAR.COM.

78.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Section 79, any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind between NASCAR and you arising under these Program Terms or in connection with your access to, and/or use of the Program and/or the Program Website and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through NASCAR.COM, if unresolved through informal discussions within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice, shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of NASCAR.COM shall not be subject to arbitration.

79.  For all Program participants, arbitration shall be initiated in Volusia County, Florida and the language of the arbitration will be English. NASCAR and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in Volusia County, Florida, to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at “www.adr.org” or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  To the extent permitted by the AAA Rules, the parties and the arbitrator may agree upon remote or virtual participation in the arbitration proceedings.

80.  Each party shall be responsible for the costs that it may incur in the arbitration including, but not limited to attorney’s fees and expert witness costs unless the other party is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims that total more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing fees and arbitration fees. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on NASCAR and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. NASCAR and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation, motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Program Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney's fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NASCAR and you agree not to seek any attorney's fees and expert witness costs unless the arbitrator finds that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted for an improper purpose. NASCAR and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, NASCAR and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. NASCAR and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

81.  You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in Sections 78 – 80 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following Email address [email protected] AND by U.S. Mail (or for participants outside of the United States, by a reputable postal service) to Copyright Agent - Legal Department, One Daytona Boulevard, Daytona Beach, Florida 32114. This notice must be sent within the later of: (i) 30 days of your first use of the Program Website; or (ii) 30 days following changes to Sections  77, 78, 79, or 80 being announced on the Program Website, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies in accordance with Sections 77 – 80. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, NASCAR also will not be bound by them. If you do not affirmatively elect to opt out as described above, your use of the Program Website will be deemed to be your irrevocable acceptance of these Program Terms and any changes/updates to Sections 77, 78, 79, and/or 80 or otherwise.

82.  If any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect. In the event some or all of these arbitration provisions are determined to be unenforceable for any reason, or if a claim, dispute or controversy is brought that is found by a court to be excluded from the scope of these arbitration provisions, NASCAR and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.

83.  The terms of these arbitration provisions will also apply to any claims asserted by you against NASCAR, any present or future parent or affiliated company of NASCAR, or any person or entity involved in creating, producing, distributing or administering the Program Website and/or the Program, including, without limitation, third-party content providers, vendors and licensors, to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Program Website, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Program Website.

84.  Class Action Waiver. PLEASE READ SECTIONS 85 – 88 CAREFULLY -- IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

85.  NASCAR and you agree that NASCAR and you will resolve any disputes, claims or controversies on an individual basis, and that any claims brought under these Program Terms in connection with the Program or the Program Website will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. NASCAR and you further agree that NASCAR and you shall not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising under these Program Terms or in connection with the Program or the Program Website.

86.  If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this Section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration cannot proceed on a class basis, then the disputes, claims or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in Volusia County, Florida.

87.  The terms of Sections 85 and 86 will also apply to any claims asserted by you against NASCAR, any present or future parent or affiliated company of NASCAR, or any person or entity involved in creating, producing, distributing, or administering the Program or the Program Website, including, without limitation, third-party content providers, vendors and licensors, to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Program Website, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Program Website.

88.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PROGRAM MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES.
