2This document provides various instructions. If you perform some of these instructions carelessly, you could injure or kill yourself or damage equipment or property. Instructions that require your special attention are indicated by the following symbols:The lightning-flash-with-arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sucient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.The Class II equipment symbol means that the equipment has additional insulation and does not need to be grounded.For Your SafetyWarning: Do not try to open the case of the apparatus. There is risk of electrical shock, which may cause damage to the apparatus and/or personal injury or death to you. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the apparatus. Opening the case of the apparatus or making unauthorized changes will void the warranty.Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.Warning and Attention Symbols
mydish.com/chat • 1-800-333-DISH (3474)3Important Safety InstructionsYou must be aware of safety when you install and use the apparatus:1  Read these instructions.2  Keep these instructions.3  Heed all warnings.4  Follow all instructions.5  Do not use the apparatus near water.6  Clean the apparatus only with a dry cloth.7  Do not block any ventilation openings on the apparatus.8  Install the apparatus in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.9  Do not install the apparatus near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.10  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.11  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.12  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.13  Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.14  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into it, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.15  The power plug must be readily accessible so that the apparatus can be easily disconnected from AC power. 16  Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
4Important Safety Instructions (cont.)17  The apparatus is still connected to AC power whenever it is plugged in to a live power outlet, even if it is turned o using the remote control or front panel buttons.18  No objects, including flame sources such as lit candles, should be placed on the apparatus.19  The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the top of it.20  Only use the power supply provided with the apparatus. Unplug the apparatus power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.21  Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords; this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.22  Never insert objects of any kind into the apparatus through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage points or may short-out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock.23  Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.24  Do not attempt to service the apparatus yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.25  Unplug the apparatus from the AC power outlet before cleaning.26  Do not place the apparatus in an enclosure, such as a cabinet, without proper ventilation.27  Do not install the apparatus in any area where the temperature can be less than 40°F or more than 113°F. If the apparatus is cold to the touch, do not plug it in immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before plugging it in.28  Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground-fault protection. When installing equipment, unplug everything that will be connected to the coaxial network prior to making any connections. During an electrical storm or when the apparatus is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for everything connected to the coaxial network, disconnect the satellite input and coaxial cable lines from the receiver, and if connected, disconnect your Ethernet or broadband connection. These actions provide additional protection against damage caused by lightning or power-line surges.29  Tighten all coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may overtighten the connections and damage the equipment.
5Important Safety Instructions (cont.)Proper Care of Your Equipment•  Always handle the apparatus carefully. Excessive shock and vibration can damage it.•  If the equipment is turned on and needs to be moved, unplug the equipment and let it sit for at least 30 seconds before moving it.•  The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the apparatus manufacturer voids the Limited Warranty.•  Do not stack the apparatus on top of or below other electronic devices, as this can cause heat buildup and vibration.•  Do not expose the remote control batteries to excessive heat or fire.•  On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time may cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your TV user guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV, what operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and associated TV warranty coverage.Note to Antenna Installer: This reminder is provided to call the antenna installer’s attention to the National Electrical Code® (NEC), which provides guidelines for proper bonding and grounding of antennas and their associated cabling.WARNING – This product and installation materials can expose you to chemicals including Bisphenol A and Antimony trioxide, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.California Proposition 65 Warning

Partial payments will be applied first to the oldest outstanding bill. You must make your payment regardless of whether you receive a bill. We do not assume the risk of undelivered mail. In the event that you send checks or money orders marked with a designation such as “payment in full,” then we may accept them without waiving any of our rights (including, without limitation, our right to collect any other amounts owed by you), notwithstanding your characterization of such payment. DISH does not extend credit to customers, and the Late Payment Fee (as set forth in Exhibit 1) is not interest, a credit service charge or a finance charge.

14E. Restarting Your Services. In the event that you do not pay your bill in full by its due date, or you at any time otherwise fail, neglect or refuse to make timely payment for your Services or any other payments under this Agreement or your applicable Promotion Agreement(s) as and when due, then we may disconnect your Services without notice at any time, and in such event we will be wholly relieved from any and all of our duties and obligations under this Agreement and your applicable Promotion Agreement(s).

Early Termination Fees. Depending on your applicable Promotion Agreement(s), you may incur prices, fees and/or charges in the event that your Services are canceled or disconnected before the expiration of a term commitment or downgrading your programming below any applicable minimum programming requirement during a term commitment (each, an  “Early Termination Fee”).

EQUIPMENTA. Equipment. In order to receive Services, you must purchase or lease certain reception equipment consisting primarily of a DISH-compatible receiver(s) and applicable Smart Card(s), remote control(s), satellite antenna(s) and low-noise block converter feed(s) (LNBF) with integrated feed(s) (collectively, “Equipment”).Residential Customer Agreement (cont.)
16B. Additional Tuners and Receivers. We may choose to allow you to place additional receivers on your account. In the event that we allow you to do so, then each additional receiver will be authorized to receive the same Services as your initial receiver, subject to the limitations of your television equipment and Equipment. All of your receivers must be located at the same residence and continuously connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network (with the exception of receivers connected to portable antennas oered by DISH (e.g., Tailgater)). In the event that you wish to have receivers at two (2) or more dierent residential locations, then you must open a separate account for each location. You may not directly or indirectly use a single account for the purpose of authorizing Services for multiple receivers that are not all located in the same residential location and connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network. In the event that we determine that you used a single account for the purpose of authorizing Services for multiple receivers that are not all located in the same residential location and connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network, then we may disconnect your Services without notice at any time and, in addition to all other applicable prices, fees and charges, you agree to pay us the dierence between the amounts actually received by us and the full, non-discounted applicable price that DISH would have charged for the Services authorized for each receiver for the appropriate number of separate accounts.C. Smart Cards. Receiver(s) are equipped with a conditional access card (“Smart Card”) inserted into a slot or otherwise installed in such receiver. Not all receivers with a Smart Card slot require a Smart Card for proper authorization. Smart Cards remain the property of DISH at all times and must be returned to us upon cancellation or disconnection of your Services, or sooner upon our request. Smart Cards are not transferable. Your Smart Card will only work in the receiver to which it was assigned by DISH. In the event that you report to our customer service center that your Smart Card is defective or that your Smart Card has been lost, damaged or stolen, then we will replace it, unless there is evidence of unauthorized tampering or modification; in such circumstances, a Smart Card Replacement Fee (as set forth in Exhibit 1) will apply. In addition, in order to minimize downtime for your Equipment, DISH will, upon your request, deliver a replacement Smart Card to you via overnight delivery, in which case an Overnight Delivery Fee (as set forth in Exhibit 1) will apply.D. DVR. DISH’s digital video recorder (“DVR”) functionality allows you to record programming in digital format. Total available recording time varies depending on your receiver and the nature of the programs being recorded. DISH does not guarantee access to or recording of any particular programming or that any such programming will not be deleted from your DVR. Some programming is the copyrighted material of the third party that supplies it, is protected by copyright and other applicable laws and may not be reproduced, published, rebroadcast, rewritten or redistributed without the written permission of the third party that supplied it (except as permitted by the “fair use” or other applicable provisions of the U.S. copyright laws) or by DISH’s agreements with such third parties.Residential Customer Agreement (cont.)
17E. Telephone/Broadband Connection. To optimize the operation of your Equipment, you must continuously connect each receiver on your account to the same land-based telephone line or broadband home network. Failure to connect each receiver to the same land-based telephone line or broadband home network may result in interruption or disconnection of Services. We may charge you a TV2 Receiver Connection Fee (as set forth in Exhibit 1) for each dual tuner receiver that is not connected to a land-based telephone line or broadband home network.F. Receiver Alterations. DISH may, without notice at any time and from time to time, through periodic downloads or by other means, add, delete, rearrange, alter, change and/or eliminate the software, applications, features and/or functionalities in (or accessed or received through) your receivers; provide data and content to products with DVR functionality; store and remove data and content on the hard drives of products with DVR functionality; and send electronic counter-measures to your receivers without notice at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, during any term commitment to which you have agreed). DISH will use commercially reasonable eorts to schedule these downloads (or by other means) to minimize interference with or interruption to your Services, but, you acknowledge and agree that DISH shall have no liability to you for any interruptions in Services arising out of, relating to or in connection with such downloads (or other means). DISH may, without notice at any time and from time to time, cease supporting one or more receiver models. In the event that we add, delete, rearrange, alter, change and/or eliminate the software, applications, features and/or functionalities of a receiver or cease supporting your receiver model, then you further acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to any credits, refunds, price reductions or any other form of compensation because of any such addition, deletion, rearrangement, alteration, change and/or elimination.G. Proprietary Components and Software. Receivers and Smart Cards contain components and software that are proprietary to DISH and its licensors. You agree that you will not try to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, tamper with or modify, any software or hardware contained within any receiver or Smart Card. Such actions are strictly prohibited and may result in the disconnection of your Services and/or legal action.H. Software License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and your applicable Promotion Agreement(s), you are licensed to use the software provided in your receiver(s), as updated by DISH, its licensors and/or its suppliers without notice at any time and from time to time, solely in executable code form, solely in conjunction with lawful operation of the receiver(s) that you purchased or leased, and solely for the purposes permitted under this Agreement and your applicable Promotion Agreement(s).

The satellite antenna and mounting hardware (but not the LNBF) are your fixtures, are not Leased Equipment and should not be returned to DISH.  None of the Leased Equipment (or any portion thereof) will be deemed a fixture or part of your real property.

Our ownership of Leased Equipment may be displayed by notice contained on it. You have no right at any time to pledge, sell, mortgage, otherwise encumber, give away, alter or tamper with Leased Equipment, to remove or relocate Leased Equipment from your residence or to tamper with or alter any notice of our ownership on such Leased Equipment.

You are responsible for preventing the loss or destruction of Leased Equipment and we recommend that Leased Equipment be covered by your homeowners, renters or other insurance policy.Residential Customer Agreement (cont.)
19B. Return of Leased Equipment. You must return all Leased Equipment in good operating condition, normal wear and tear excepted, within thirty (30) days following cancellation or disconnection of your Services or disconnection of your Leased Equipment. In the event that you acquired the Leased Equipment from a retailer, then you must return all Leased Equipment to: (i) your original retailer, in the event that such cancellation or disconnection of your Services or disconnection of your Leased Equipment occurs during the first thirty (30) days following your initial activation of programming; or (ii) DISH, in the event that such cancellation or disconnection of your Services or disconnection of your Leased Equipment occurs after such thirty (30) day period. You are responsible for and shall bear all costs, expenses and risk of returning the Leased Equipment, including, without limitation, risk of loss during shipment. You are not responsible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the return of equipment other than the Leased Equipment. Following cancellation or disconnection of your Services or disconnection of your Leased Equipment (unless you acquired the Leased Equipment from a retailer and the cancellation or disconnection of your Services or disconnection of your Leased Equipment occurs during the first thirty (30) days following your initial activation of programming and you returned Leased Equipment to such retailer within thirty (30) days following cancellation or disconnection of your Services or disconnection of your Leased Equipment), DISH will send you one or more return labels and empty boxes (depending on your Leased Equipment) to be used by you in returning the Leased Equipment and DISH will charge you a Box Return Fee (as set forth in Exhibit 1) for each such return label and empty box. You also have the option of contacting DISH by calling the telephone number set forth in Section 1 (i.e., 800-333-DISH (800-333-3474)) to request that DISH or our designee(s) perform an in-home service call to remove the Leased Equipment at DISH’s then-current in-home service call rate (may not be available in all areas; geographic restrictions apply).

2212. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, MANDATORY AND BINDING ARBITRATIONAND CLASS ACTION WAIVERA. Mandatory and Binding Arbitration. In the event that you or we have a Dispute (as defined below) that cannot be resolved through informal dispute resolution pursuant to Section 12(C), then you and we agree (unless you opt out of Section 12 in accordance with Section 12(H)) to resolve such Dispute in an individual action, either through binding arbitration or in small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that, in the event that you or DISH commences an individual action in small claims court in accordance with Section 12 and it is determined that the applicable small claims court cannot adjudicate such individual action (e.g., such small claims court lacks jurisdiction over such individual action), then such Dispute may only be resolved through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 12. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration means that you will have a fair hearing before a neutral arbitrator rather than before a judge or jury in a court. Arbitrators can award the same damages that a court can award. Proceeding in arbitration may result in limited discovery and is subject to limited review by courts. Arbitration means that you waive your right to a trial by a jury or a trial by a judge (other than in small claims court). Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class or representative claims are not permitted. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND DISH ARE EACH AGREEING TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR A TRIAL BY A JUDGE (OTHER THAN IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT) AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR TO BRING A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. You and DISH also each agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and, thus, that the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. Nothing in this Agreement precludes you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies (including, without limitation, the Federal Communications Commission). Such agencies can, in the event that the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.B. Dispute Defined. The term “Dispute” means, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 12(K), any and all past, present or future disputes, claims or controversies between you and DISH, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence or any other intentional tort) or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes, without limitation, the validity, enforceability and/or scope of Section 12. The term “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and includes, without limitation, any and all claims between you and DISH in any way arising out of, relating to or in connection with: (i) this Agreement and your applicable Promotion Agreement(s); (ii) DISH’s services (including, without limitation, Services); (iii) DISH’s devices or products (including, without limitation, Equipment); (iv) billing, collection and credit reporting;  (v) telephone calls, texts, faxes and emails that you claim you received from DISH and/or a party acting or purporting to act on DISH’s behalf; and/or (vi) DISH’s and/or its agents’ collection, retention and/or disclosure of personally identifiable information. For purposes of Section 12 only, Residential Customer Agreement (cont.)
23“DISH,” “we,” “us,” or “our” means DISH Network L.L.C., DISH Network Corporation and its past and present direct and indirect subsidiaries, and the predecessors, successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons and entities, and the past or present ocers, directors, employees, partners, agents, attorneys, shareholders and legal representatives of all of the foregoing persons and entities.C. Informal Dispute Resolution; Notice and Opportunity to Cure. You and DISH agree to first try to resolve any Dispute informally. Accordingly, neither you nor DISH may start an individual action, either through binding arbitration or in small claims court, for at least sixty (60) calendar days after you or DISH notifies the other of a Dispute by sending a written document titled “dispute resolution notice” (each, a “Dispute Resolution Notice”). You may, but are not required to, download a form Dispute Resolution Notice at dish.com/downloads/legal/dispute-resolution-notice.pdf. You must send your Dispute Resolution Notice to the Legal Dispute Resolution Notice Address (i.e., DISH Network L.L.C., Attn: Dispute Resolution, P.O. Box 9040, Littleton, CO  80120-9040), and we must send our Dispute Resolution Notice to your billing address then appearing in our records. The Dispute Resolution Notice must: (i) state your name, account number and contact information; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought in connection with the Dispute. In the event that you and DISH do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Resolution Notice is received, then you or DISH may commence an individual action, either through binding arbitration or in small claims court, in accordance with Section 12.D. Arbitration Procedures. Unless you and DISH agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) excluding any rules for class or collective actions, as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA and conducted before a single, neutral arbitrator. The AAA Rules are available online at the AAA’s website (as of August 7, 2015, www.adr.org), by calling the AAA (as of August 7, 2015, 1-800-778-7879) or by submitting a written  request to the Legal Dispute Resolution Notice Address (i.e., DISH Network  L.L.C.,                    Attn: Dispute Resolution, P.O. Box 9040, Littleton, CO  80120-9040). The arbitration will be held at a location in the county of your billing address then appearing in our records unless you and we both agree to another location or a telephonic or “desk” arbitration (i.e., an arbitration conducted solely on the basis of written submissions by the participants). The arbitrator will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, DISH’s and your waiver of the right to a trial by jury or a trial by a judge (other than in small claims court) and the right to participate in a class action or to bring a claim in a representative capacity. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to adjudicate the merits of any Dispute. In the event that you and/or DISH elect to submit a Dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 12, then the party initiating arbitration must open a case by filing with the AAA: (i) a demand for arbitration; (ii) the administrative filing fee; and (iii) a copy of the applicable arbitration agreement (i.e., Section 12)—collectively, the “Demand for Arbitration”). The filing may be made Residential Customer Agreement (cont.)
24through “AAA WebFile,” located on the AAA’s website (www.adr.org), or by filing the Demand for Arbitration with any AAA oce, regardless of the intended locale of any hearing.E. The Arbitrator’s Award. An arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement of the disposition of each Dispute and a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s decision and award are final and binding, subject only to the limited court review permitted under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.F. Costs of Arbitration. In the event that you initiate arbitration and agree that you will receive less than $75,000 in damages, then, after DISH receives notice that you have initiated arbitration, DISH will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee and DISH will directly pay the AAA any case management fees associated with the arbitration and the professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. However, in the event that you initiate an arbitration in which you seek $75,000 or more in damages, then the payment of these fees will be governed by the            AAA Rules.G. Class Action Waiver. NEITHER YOU NOR DISH SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (as defined above). Further, unless both you and DISH agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one (1) person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. In the event that any portion of this Section 12(G) is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of Section 12 shall be null and void.H. Right to Opt Out. In the event that you do not wish to be bound by Section 12, then you must notify DISH in writing within thirty (30) days following the date that we first give you notice of your right to elect to opt out of Section 12 by: (i) completing the Opt Out Form located at  dish.com/downloads/legal/arbitration-opt-out.pdf and sending it to the Legal Dispute Resolution Notice Address (i.e., DISH Network L.L.C., Attn: Dispute Resolution, P.O. Box 9040, Littleton, CO 80120-9040); or (ii) otherwise providing written notification to DISH at the Legal Dispute Resolution Notice Address that includes: (1) your name and account number; (2) your service address; and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with DISH through arbitration. Your decision to opt out of Section 12 will have no adverse eect on your relationship with DISH or DISH’s delivery of Service(s) to you. Any opt-out not received within the thirty (30) day period set forth above will not be valid and you must pursue your Disputes (if any) as an individual action, either through binding arbitration or in small claims court, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12 (excluding this Section 12(H), which in such event will no longer apply). In the event that you are a new DISH customer, then your activation of a DISH account or receipt of Services or Equipment and failure to notify DISH in writing within thirty (30) days Residential Customer Agreement (cont.)
25following the date of activation of your account shall constitute your acknowledgment and agreement that you are bound by Section 12. In the event that you are an existing DISH customer, then your continued receipt of Services or Equipment and failure to notify DISH in writing within thirty (30) days following the date that we first give you notice of your right to elect to opt out of Section 12 shall constitute your acknowledgment and agreement that you are bound by  Section 12. We will be deemed to have given you notice of your right to elect to opt out of Section 12 as follows: (a) in the event that we send you notice by U.S. mail (including, without limitation, on a mailed bill, bill insert, notice, letter or postcard), then it will be considered given three (3) days after it is first deposited in the U.S. mail, addressed to you at your billing address then appearing in our records; (b) in the event that we send you notice electronically (including, without limitation, via an email, electronic bill, social media message or attachment), then it will be considered given at the time we first send an electronic communication containing such notice or notifying you of the availability of such notice (or the electronic bill in which it is included) to the electronic contact information (including, without limitation, email address or social media  (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) identifier) then appearing in our records; and (c) in the event that we send you notice via broadcast on a television channel, or on your receiver(s) (including, without limitation, through pop-up messages sent to your receiver) or through publication on dish.com, mydish.com, dish.com/legal or other website, then it will be considered given when first broadcast, sent or published.I. Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that DISH makes any future change to Section 12 (other than a change to the Legal Dispute Resolution Notice Address), then you may reject any such future change as follows: (i) in the event that we elect to provide notice of such change, then by sending written notice to DISH at the Legal Dispute Resolution Notice Address of your rejection of such change within thirty (30) days following the date that we first give you our notice; or (ii) in the event that we elect not to provide notice of such change, then by sending written notice to DISH at the Legal Dispute Resolution Notice Address of your rejection of such change at any time. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will resolve any Dispute between you and DISH in accordance with the unmodified language of Section 12, unless you have previously opted out of Section 12 in a timely manner. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 12 or under applicable law, each of you and DISH shall bear and be solely responsible for its respective attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Dispute.J. Expenses Outside of Arbitration. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, in the event that either party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to arbitration (other than an individual action in small claims court) and the other party successfully compels arbitration, then the party filing that judicial or administrative action must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred in seeking to compel arbitration (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs).Residential Customer Agreement (cont.)
