12. Dispute Resolution
In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute through negotiation or by speaking directly with each other. If unsuccessful, then the parties agree to try in good faith to settle the dispute through mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Rules before resorting to binding arbitration. If the matter is not resolved through mediation within sixty (60) days after submission to mediation, any remaining issues will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Nashville, Tennessee. The language used shall be English.
A single neutral arbitrator shall preside over the proceeding and issue a reasoned award. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any state or federal court in Nashville, Tennessee. You and Jewhiteny further agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Nashville, Tennessee to compel arbitration, stay proceedings, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award.
Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions and consolidation with other arbitrations are not permitted. You and Jewhiteny agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
You acknowledge the jurisdiction selection, class action waiver, and arbitration agreement provisions outlined above are material terms to this Agreement. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts will be severed and proceed in court, with the remainder proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this dispute resolution procedure is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of the procedure remaining in full force and effect.
