Notice shall be sent to Hasbro at:

    General Counsel

    1011 Newport Avenue
    Pawtucket, RI 02861

    Both you and Hasbro agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
