MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR
DISPUTE OF ANY KIND BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE COMPANY AND/OR
ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, OR TORT, INCLUDING FRAUD,
MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF ACCRUAL OF SUCH
CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND
BINDING ARBITRATION AS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A
CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. HOWEVER, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS
ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL PRECLUDE THE CUSTOMER FROM RESOLVING
ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT HE OR SHE
OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE.
A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct the arbitration. The
arbitrator will be selected according to the rules of CPR or, alternatively, may be
selected by agreement of the parties, who shall cooperate in good faith to select the
arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by, and under the then-applicable rules
of the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution. All expedited procedures prescribed by
the applicable rules will apply. Any required hearing fees and costs shall be paid by
the parties as required by the applicable rules or as required by applicable law, but
the arbitrator shall have the power to apportion such costs as the arbitrator deems
appropriate.
The arbitrator's decision and award will be final and binding (subject to the appeal
clause below), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court with jurisdiction.
An appeal may be taken under the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure from any final
award of any arbitral panel in any arbitration arising out of or related to this
