Arbitration. a. Any and all disputes, controversies or claims between Client and Company in any way relating to, or arising from this Agreement shall be subject to arbitration in San Diego County, California, and administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (JAMS) in accordance with JAMS Comprehensive or Streamlined Arbitration Rules; such rules are available for review at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ and http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the state of California, including principals of equity, but without regard to principals of conflicts of law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction hereof.
- Such arbitration shall be filed and maintained as an individual matter, and not as a class-action, collective action or other action involving more than one individual plaintiff, claimant or petitioner, nor in any manner alleging that the one bringing the arbitration matter is serving (or seeking to serve) in any representative capacity. The parties hereby waive any and all rights or interests in pursuing a class or collective action, or any group or multi-claimant action in regard to controversies arising out of this Agreement, in the interests of pursuing the streamlined and cost-effective alternative of individual arbitration proceedings as described herein. Accordingly, the parties also agree that the arbitrator of any such controversies may not join, consolidate, coordinate or jointly manage the claims of more than one person for any purpose (i.e., prehearing, discovery, hearing or otherwise), and may not otherwise preside over any form of class, collective or representative proceeding.
- A party wishing to initiate arbitration must first send the other party a written notice of dispute. The notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If the parties are unable to reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice described herein, then either party may thereafter commence an arbitration proceeding with JAMS pursuant to the then applicable rules and procedures of JAMS.
- The parties agree that there shall be a single Arbitrator appointed for all purposes including presiding over any hearing and issuing a final decision. The parties agree that the Arbitrator shall be a retired judge on the JAMS panel. If the parties are unable to agree on an Arbitrator then the administrator for JAMS shall select an arbitrator from its panel of retired judges in accordance with the then applicable JAMS rules and procedures.
- The parties shall bear their own costs, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, and shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all arbitration fees and costs including those of the arbitrator. Such fees shall be timely paid.
Force Majeure. Each party’s obligations (other than payment obligations) under this Agreement shall be excused and suspended during the existence of any event of force majeure, which shall consist of a strike, work stoppage or other labor dispute, or a war, riot, fire, flood, storm or other Act of God beyond the control of such party, or which may consist of a governmental or governmental agency order of general or geographic area-wide application that is not directed solely at such party, but only to the extent that such event is responsible for such party’s non-performance of any such obligation. No party shall be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, injury, cost or expense suffered, incurred, or sustained by any other party by reason of such non-performance due to force majeure.
Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. Client may not assign or transfer, voluntarily or by operation of law, any of its rights under this Agreement, or delegate any of its duties, under this Agreement to any third party without the Company’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or delegation without written consent will be treated as null and void.
Severability; Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement are divisible; if any such provision shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement may be deemed, or will constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor will any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver.
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the covenants and conditions contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and shall apply to the successors and assigns of Company and to the permitted successors and assigns of Client.
