SAMSUNG its attorney fees, expert witness fees or costs unless it
is determined that the claim was brought by the Purchaser in bad
faith. In a Small Claim case, the Purchaser shall be required to
pay no more than half of the total administrative, facility and
arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of such fees, whichever is less, and

arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among
the parties, reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and
costs. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any
court of competent jurisdiction.
This arbitration provision also applies to claims against
SAMSUNG'S employees, representatives and affiliates if any
such claim arises from the Product's sale, condition or
performance.
