The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.The arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance-based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Digital Broadcasting Network Corp’s address for Notice is: Digital Broadcasting Network Corp, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 2700 Banyan Rd #36C Boca Raton, FL 33432.
