The parties shall attempt to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, any provision of the agreement or the breach thereof by good faith negotiations between the parties and shall not initiate a formal proceeding for at least thirty (30) days from the date of the other party’s receipt of the Notice.

The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any state or federal court that has jurisdiction, provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have authority to make errors of law, and any arbitration award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. The arbitrator shall give a written statement of the disposition of each claim, and the award, including any award of costs, expenses or interest, shall provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which it is based.
The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to collect its reasonable costs, expenses, and interest (including reasonable attorneys' fees, arbitration fees, and other such costs). Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not prevent parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
