C. Condition of the Facilities

You shall pay in advance for estimated clean-up costs of the Facilities, in the amounts set forth at the time of placing the Order (if any), and if the actual clean-up is consistent with the estimated costs, you will not be charged for any additional clean-up costs.

All damages, repair and replacement costs resulting from any misuse of the Facilities, including without limitation any plumbing or fixtures therein, during the Event shall be borne by you.

Los Altos Arcade LLC
Attn: Robert Hindman
127 First Street
Once received, you agree to provide us with sixty (60) days to attempt to resolve your issue, subject to a good faith effort on both our part and yours to reach such a resolution.

For claims for arbitration for amounts less than $10,000, you may request that the Arbitration be performed subject to the AAA Documents-Only Procedure described in R-29 of the AAA Consumer Rules.

Hyperspace reserves the right, but not obligation, and at its sole determination to consolidate claims for arbitration where:
- The claims for which arbitration is sought are substantially similar in nature based on the parties
involved, the date, time or product at issue, and the nature of any claimed injury or damages; - The claims are filed within a six-month period of time;
- And/or the claims are filed by a small number of law firms or attorneys.
