DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

Any and all claims, disputes and other matters in question arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions for damages or any other relief, and all defenses thereto (“Claims”), shall be resolved by binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of Arbitration of the Federal Arbitration Act and, to the extent an issue is not addressed by the federal law of arbitration, by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”).  

The arbitration may be initiated by either party by written notice specifying the Claims to be arbitrated.  If a party refuses to honor its obligations under this agreement to arbitrate, the other party may compel arbitration in either federal or state court.  The making, validity, construction, and interpretation of this agreement to arbitrate, and all procedural aspects of the arbitration conducted pursuant to this agreement to arbitrate, including but not limited to, the determination of the issues that are subject to arbitration (i.e. arbitrability) shall be decided by the arbitrator.  Unless as otherwise set forth in these Terms and Conditions, the arbitrator shall apply federal law and the substantive laws of the State of Texas (excluding Texas choice-of-law principles that might call for the application of some other State’s law) as applicable.  The parties will provide each other with production of all requested documents and records reasonably related to the dispute in a manner that will minimize the expense and inconvenience of both parties.  Further discovery will be as the arbitrators expressly allow on a showing of need.  All arbitrator’s orders and decisions may be enforceable in, and judgment upon any award rendered in the arbitration proceeding may be confirmed and entered by, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction.  All proceedings shall be conducted in English and, unless otherwise set forth in these Terms and Conditions, shall take place in Dallas, Texas. 

The arbitration conducted pursuant hereto shall be decided by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Rules.  The damages awarded shall be subject to the limitation of liability provision of this Agreement excludes punitive, special, consequential, indirect or exemplary damages.  Costs and fees of the arbitration will be borne by the non-prevailing party, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.  The award of the arbitrator will be final.  The arbitrator’s award shall be specifically enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction and located in Dallas, Texas.  All proceedings conducted hereunder and the decisions of the arbitrators shall be kept confidential.  No Claim may be brought as a class action, combined or consolidated with any other proceeding, nor may any proceeding be pursued in a representative capacity or on behalf of a class.  Neither party has the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any Claim.  Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, neither party has the right to bring a Claim or other legal action under these Terms and Conditions more than two years after the cause of action arose.
