Mandatory Arbitration
Most customer service issues can be resolved quickly and easily by calling or emailing our customer service teams.

Compass Group USA, Inc.

2400 Yorkmont Road, CC2

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. If, after 60 days no such resolution has been reached, you may file an individual claim for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. At no time may your claim for arbitration be filed as part of a class or representing the interests or claims of more than one individual.
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. Any Arbitration conducted in person shall be conducted in Charlotte, North Carolina before an arbitrator who is an attorney licensed in North Carolina.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to this Agreement may seek any appropriate equitable relief, including injunction, to which it may be entitled.

- 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.
