The National Salute to America’s Heroes is asking you to nominate deserving individuals who through their actions during this crisis have emerged as heroes in their communities — ones that are on the front lines fighting against this world-wide pandemic.

As a show of Hyundai’s sincerity and continued commitment to saluting America’s heroes, we will select heroes in each of the following categories: Healthcare, First Responder and Unsung Community Heroes. The four heroes selected will receive their new 2020 Hyundai Sonata on Memorial Day.  The delivery of the cars will be a surprise, so we will need your help!

  1. ARBITRATION PROVISION: By participating in this Contest, each Nominator agrees that (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) the Nominator may have against Sponsor arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Contest, the awarding or redemption of any prize and/or the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; (2) this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held in Broward County, Florida; (4) the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of these Official Rules and any of the other agreements referenced herein that the applicable Nominator may have entered into in connection with the Contest; (5) the arbitrator shall apply Florida law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, arbitration can decide only the Nominator’s and/or Sponsor’s individual claims; the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (7) the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against the Nominator or Sponsor; (8) in the event that the administrative fees and deposits that must be paid to initiate arbitration against Sponsor exceed $125 USD, and the Nominator is unable (or not required under the rules of JAMS) to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this amount, Sponsor agrees to pay them and/or forward them on the Nominator’s behalf, subject to ultimate allocation by the arbitrator. In addition, if Nominator is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay as much of Nominator’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (9) with the exception of subpart (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither Nominator nor Sponsor shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.
