You may instead litigate a dispute in small claims court if the dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court, whether or not you negotiated informally first.

Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in Horry County, South Carolina; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Horry County, South Carolina, JAMS may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. You and CVGE agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Horry County, South Carolina in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.
- In accordance with the JAMS Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or CVGE) is responsible for paying the filing fee. However, if the arbitrator issues you an award of damages and: (a) that award is greater than the amount of our last written settlement offer; or (b) if we did not make a settlement offer, then in addition to paying for any JAMS Case Management Fees and all professional fees for the arbitrator's services, we will reimburse you for the filing fees you incurred.
