Further, we reserve the right to remove any User Content in connection with the Services that allegedly infringes another person’s copyright.
Filing a Complaint
If you believe any materials on the Services infringe a copyright, you should provide us with a request to take down the allegedly infringing material in the form of a written letter, sent by regular mail only (“DMCA Takedown Notice”), which at a minimum includes:

- A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, or the law;
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; and
- The signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to ignore a DMCA Takedown Notice that is not in compliance with the DMCA.
Filing a Counter-Notice
If your material has been removed or blocked by us as a result of our receipt of a DMCA Takedown Notice, you may send us a request asking for the allegedly infringing material to be restored in the form of a written letter, sent by regular mail only (“DMCA Counter-Notice”), which at a minimum includes:
- Identification of the copyrighted work that was removed by P.F. Chang’s and the location at which the work appeared before it was removed. The information must be reasonably sufficient to permit us to identify the copyrighted work;

- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the federal judicial district in which your address is located, or New York if your address is outside of the United States;

- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the allegedly infringing material identified above as the copyrighted work was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
- A signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyrighted work that was taken down.
When we receive a DMCA Counter-Notice, we will send a copy of the DMCA Counter-Notice to the party who originally sent us the DMCA Takedown Notice and we will reinstate the allegedly infringing material, unless that party obtains a court order supporting removal of the allegedly infringing material. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to ignore a DMCA Counter-Notice that is not in compliance with the DMCA.

6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER & JURY TRIAL WAIVER (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”)
Please read this Dispute Resolution section carefully. It affects your legal rights. It provides for the resolution of most Disputes (defined below) through individual arbitration instead of in court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery and appellate review is more limited. This section also includes a jury trial waiver, and a waiver of any and all rights to proceed in a class, collective, private attorney general, or representative action in arbitration or litigation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
This Arbitration Agreement shall survive any termination of these Terms.
Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and the access and use of the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without application of conflict of laws rules, except that the arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and federal arbitration law (not state arbitration law).
If the Arbitration Agreement is ever deemed unenforceable or void in its entirety or a dispute or claim between the parties is not subject to arbitration, you irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts encompassing New Castle County, Delaware, and waive any objections as to personal jurisdiction or as to the laying of venue in such courts due to inconvenient forum or any other basis or any right to seek to transfer or change venue of any such action to another court.
Customer Service
If a Dispute arises between you and P.F. Chang’s, we want to provide you and P.F. Chang’s with an efficient, neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by calling our toll-free number: 1-866-732-4264

Attn: Guest Relations Manager

Scottsdale, AZ 85255
If, however, there is any remaining issue that needs to be resolved, these Terms describe how both of us will proceed in connection with resolving any Dispute between you and P.F. Chang’s:
Individual Arbitration
(a) ARBITRATION. THIS PROVISION IS INTENDED TO BE INTERPRETED BROADLY. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE SERVICES, YOUR PURCHASES, OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH P.F. CHANG’S OR ANY PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE SUBSIDIARY, PARENT OR AFFILIATE COMPANY OR COMPANIES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, (“DISPUTE”) AND WHETHER SUCH DISPUTES AROSE BEFORE, ON, OR SUBSEQUENT TO YOU ENTERING THESE TERMS, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, EXCEPT THAT EITHER YOU OR P.F. CHANG’S MAY TAKE A DISPUTE TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT SO LONG AS IT ISN'T REMOVED OR APPEALED TO A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. You and P.F. Chang’s agree that an arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, scope, validity, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement, including its class action waiver and jury trial waiver, is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Whether a Dispute falls within the jurisdictional limits of small claims court is for the small claims court to decide. If a small claims court election is made after a Dispute is filed in arbitration, the arbitration provider shall dismiss the filing and direct the filing party to initiate the Dispute in small claims court.
Dispute shall include, but not be limited to: (a) any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); (b) any dispute or claim that is currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (c) any dispute or claim that may arise after termination of these Terms. Dispute, however, does not include disagreements or claims concerning patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property. The arbitrator shall decide all issues except those that are expressly reserved for a court in these Terms, which are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. You and P.F. Chang’s agree that these Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and that this Arbitration Agreement will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and federal arbitration law (not state arbitration law) as set forth above.
Class Action Waiver and Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND P.F. CHANG’S EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH AN ACTION IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND WE WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. Notwithstanding the foregoing class action waiver that applies whether in arbitration or in litigation, the parties retain the right to participate in a class-wide settlement. If the foregoing Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and you and P.F. Chang’s shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
(b) Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process: You and P.F. Chang’s agree to work together in an effort to informally resolve any Dispute between us. In the event of a Dispute, the party initiating the Dispute must send the other a written notice of the Dispute that includes all of this information: (a) the facts giving rise to the Dispute, including, as applicable, information sufficient to identify any restaurant location, transaction, and account at issue; (b) contact information (including name, address, telephone number, and email address); and (c) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief sought, including a good faith calculation for it. The notice must be personally signed by the party initiating the Dispute (and their counsel, if represented). If you have the Dispute with us, you must send this notice to P.F. Chang’s at privacy@pfchangs.com. If we have a Dispute with you, we will send this notice to the most recent contact information we have for you. For a period of 60 days from receipt of a notice (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you and we agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to informally resolve the Dispute. The party receiving the notice may request a telephone settlement conference to aid in the resolution of the Dispute. If such a conference is requested, you and a P.F. Chang’s representative will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). The conference may be conducted by remote means and will be scheduled for a mutually convenient time, which may be outside of the 60-day period. Completion of this Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process (“Process”) is a condition precedent to initiating a claim in arbitration. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this Process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party's election, and any arbitration shall be stayed. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with this Process in arbitration. All applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) will be tolled from the date of receipt of a notice through the conclusion of this Process. You or we may commence arbitration if the Dispute is not resolved through this Process.
(c) Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration of any Dispute shall be administered by and conducted in accordance with the rules of JAMS, including the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and any JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines applicable to the Dispute (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and we agree that if JAMS is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with the Arbitration Agreement, and the parties cannot agree on an alternative provider that will do so, then you or we may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an administrator or an arbitrator that will do so. The JAMS Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/. An arbitration demand must be accompanied by a certification of compliance with the Process and be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and counsel, if represented). By submitting an arbitration demand, the party and counsel represent that, as in court, that they are complying with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 on represented parties and their counsel. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by a phone, video, or in-person hearing, or through written submissions, except any Dispute seeking $25,000 or more, or injunctive relief, shall have an in-person or video hearing unless the parties agree otherwise. You and we reserve the right to request a hearing in any matter from the arbitrator. You and a P.F. Chang’s representative will personally appear at any hearing (with counsel, if represented). Any in-person hearing will be held in the county or parish in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location, including by telephone or other remote means. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, an arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief, only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or our individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. An arbitrator must follow and enforce these Terms as a court would. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of these prohibitions on non-individualized injunctive or declaratory relief and class, collective, private attorney general, or representative proceedings are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then such a claim or request for relief will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator shall apply the cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of an award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, except an award that has been fully satisfied may not be entered. An award shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding in which you are not a named party.
(d) Costs of Arbitration. Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and applicable fee schedule. You and we agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, you or we may elect to engage with JAMS regarding arbitration fees, and you and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties.
(e) Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration (Batch Arbitration). You and P.F. Chang’s agree to abide by this Batch Arbitration provision in the event that: (a) there are twenty-five (25) or more individual arbitration demands of substantially similar nature filed by P.F. Chang’s against you and other customers or by you and others against P.F. Chang’s and (b) such arbitration demands are filed with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations. You understand and agree that by choosing to participate in a mass arbitration, the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. If this Batch Arbitration provision is triggered, then JAMS shall:
1. appoint a process administrator through a strike-and-rank process to address threshold issues and to apply these procedures set forth in these Terms and to “ensure procedural fairness and integrity of the ADR process” as outlined by JAMS; administer the arbitration demands in batches of up to 100 demands in any batch (the precise number to be determined by a JAMS procedural arbitrator; in deciding which arbitration demands will go in which batch, JAMS shall make the batches as equal as possible in terms of cumulative amount demanded and number of arbitration demands);
2. appoint a single, different arbitrator for each batch to be selected through a strike-and-rank process unless the parties agree otherwise; and
3. provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, and one in-person or video hearing (if any) in a format to be determined by the arbitrator that shall be convenient for the parties unless the arbitrator determines that separate hearings are appropriate.
In addition:
4. You and P.F. Chang’s agree that if the Dispute is subject to this Batch Arbitration process, you and a P.F. Chang’s representative will personally appear at any hearing (with counsel, if you and we are represented).
5. You and P.F. Chang’s (and your and our counsel, if represented) agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for each Batch, as well as any steps to minimize the burdens and costs of arbitration. You and P.F. Chang’s (and your and our counsel, if represented) agree to work together in good faith throughout the Batch Arbitration process to streamline procedures, modify the number of arbitrations to proceed per batch as appropriate, increase efficiencies, and seek to resolve Disputes.
6. You and P.F. Chang’s agree that arbitrations administered pursuant to this Batch Arbitration provision may be administered concurrently to the extent administratively feasible and that if your claim is delayed, any applicable limitations periods (including any statutes of limitations) are tolled from the date of filing with JAMS consistent with the above until your Dispute is adjudicated, resolved, or withdrawn;
7. Arbitrators appointed pursuant to this Batch Arbitration provision shall issue a separate award for each claimant involved in a batch proceeding; and
8. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
The Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration (Batch Arbitration) provision and each of its requirements are essential parts of this Arbitration Agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration apply to your Dispute and are not enforceable, then your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms including this Dispute Resolution section.
(f) Changes to Arbitration Agreement. If we make any future changes to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to our contact information), you may reject any such change by sending your personally signed, written notice containing your name, address, and email address, along with a statement that you wish to opt out of the changes to the Arbitration Agreement, to the following address within thirty (30) days the change became effective, as indicated in the Effective Date above: privacy@pfchangs.com. Such notice does not constitute an opt out of arbitration altogether. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and P.F Chang’s in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Terms or accepted by subsequent changes to the Terms.
(g) Optional Appeal. You and P.F. Chang’s agree that the JAMS Optional Appeal Procedures shall apply where there is an award of greater than $100,000, which can be in a single arbitration or the cumulative amount of awards in any one batch arbitration, or includes injunctive relief.
(h) Opt-Out Procedures
You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by sending P.F. Chang’s a written opt-out notice within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms to: privacy@pfchangs.com. If mailed, the opt-out notice must be postmarked no later than thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms. To be effective, the opt-out notice must contain your name, address, and signature. If you opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with P.F. Chang’s.
Resolution of Disputes for Non-U.S. Residents
If any controversy, allegation, or Dispute (including any non-contractual Dispute) arises out of or relates to the Services or Terms and you are a non-U.S. resident, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us, but if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section. Your notice to us must be sent to P.F. Chang's, 8377 East Hartford Drive, 2nd Floor, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, P.F. Chang’s and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith, though nothing will require either you or P.F. Chang’s to resolve the dispute on terms either you or P.F. Chang’s, in each of our sole discretion, deem unsatisfactory. Nothing in this Section will prevent a party from pursuing their Claim in court or another complaint process.
