Notice to Sponsor shall be sent to the Sponsor’s address noted below. Notice to Administrator shall be sent to the attention of the Compliance Department at the address noted below.

6. An arbitration award is limited to actual damages. The arbitration award shall not include statutory damages, disgorgement of profits, lost profits, consequential damages, or punitive damages.
