| Law |
|
If any provision in this Agreement
is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law,
the remaining provisions will continue in full force
and effect. Jurisdiction of Law shall solely be in San Diego, California.
This Agreement will not be governed
by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of California, excluding that body of laws known as choice of law or conflict
of laws. Subject to the provisions of this Section, all disputes, controversies or claims arising out
of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved through mandatory binding arbitration conducted
in San Diego, California, before J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE or its successor ("JAMS") pursuant to
the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. (the "Act"); and (iii) this Agreement.
The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of J.A.M.S.'s Streamlined Arbitration
Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration (the "JAMS Rules"),
subject to the provisions of this Section. The terms set forth in this Agreement will control in the event
of any inconsistency between such terms and the JAMS Rules. The parties will cooperate with JAMS
and with each other in promptly selecting a single arbitrator from JAMS's panel of neutrals. If the parties
fail to so select an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following the date of either party's notice of demand
to conduct arbitration, then JAMS will appoint an arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The
award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will set forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment
on the arbitrator's award will be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. If for any reason JAMS or its successor no longer is in business, then the arbitration
shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association. The arbitrator's fees will be shared equally by the parties and each party will initially bear
its own costs and attorneys' fees, but the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for all
attorneys fees, witness fees, and arbitration costs. All papers, documents, or evidence, whether written
or oral, filed with or presented in connection with the arbitration proceeding will be deemed by the parties
and by the arbitrator to be confidential information of both parties. The arbitrator chosen in accordance
with these provisions will not have the power to alter, amend or otherwise affect the terms of these
arbitration provisions or the provisions of this Agreement.
