EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY
THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM (NAF) under its Code of Procedure then
in effect (available via the Internet at http://www.arb-forum.com, or via
telephone at 1-800-474-2371). In the event of any inconsistency or conflict
between NAF Code of Procedure and this Agreement, this Agreement shall
control. The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy
between the customer and Dell. NEITHER THE CUSTOMER NOR DELL
SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST
OTHER CUSTOMERS, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE
OR CLASS ACTION OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The
individual (non-class) nature of this dispute provision goes to the essence
of the parties’ arbitration agreement, and if found unenforceable, the
entire arbitration provision shall not be enforced. This transaction involves
interstate commerce, and this provision shall be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be
final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment
in any court of competent jurisdiction. Dell will be responsible for paying
any individual customer arbitration fees. If any customer prevails on any
claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, or if there is a written
agreement providing for fees, the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees to
the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
Otherwise, each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any.
Information may be obtained and claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box
