You and Look Forward intend for these initial negotiations to be conducted by non-lawyer business representatives and to be left to the discretion of those representatives.  Upon agreement, the representatives may utilize other alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, to assist in the negotiations.  Discussions and correspondence among the representatives for purposes of these negotiations shall be (i) treated as confidential information developed for purposes of settlement, (ii) exempt from discovery and production in any arbitration or other legal proceeding, and (ii) shall not be admissible in evidence in the arbitration described below or in any lawsuit without the written consent of all parties.  Documents identified in or provided with such communications, which are not prepared for purposes of the negotiations, are not so exempted and may, if otherwise admissible, be admitted in evidence in the arbitration or lawsuit.  If the negotiations do not resolve the Arbitrable Dispute within sixty (60) days of the initial written request, the Arbitrable Dispute shall, in the sole and final discretion of Look Forward, be submitted to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Look Forward may demand such arbitration in accordance with the procedures set out in those rules.  Discovery shall be controlled by the arbitrator and shall be permitted to the extent set out in this Section and applicable Rules, unless the parties mutually agree to modify this discovery process in a writing signed by all parties. Each party may submit in writing to another party, and that party shall so respond, a maximum of any combination of thirty-five (35) (none of which may have subparts) of the following:  interrogatories, demands to produce documents, and requests for admission.  Each party is also entitled to take the oral deposition of one (1) individual representative of another party. Additional discovery and depositions may be permitted upon mutual agreement of the parties.  The arbitration hearing shall be commenced within sixty (60) days of a demand for arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in San Diego County, California. The arbitrator shall control the scheduling to process the matter expeditiously. The parties may submit written briefs. The arbitrator shall rule on the Arbitrable Dispute by issuing a written opinion within thirty (30) days after the close of the hearing(s). The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to make awards or issue orders of any kind, except as permitted by these Terms of Service and substantive law, and in no event shall the arbitrator have the authority to make any award that provides for punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrator’s decision shall follow the plain meaning of these Terms of Service, any applicable Primary Agreement and any other relevant documents. The times and procedures specified in this Section may be extended or modified upon mutual agreement of the parties or by the arbitrator upon a showing of good cause.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Each party shall bear its, his or her own costs incurred as a result of the arbitration and these procedures, except that (i) a party seeking discovery shall reimburse the responding party for the cost of production of documents (to include search time and reproduction time costs); and (ii) the parties shall equally share responsibility for payment of the fees of the arbitration and the arbitrator.  The provisions of this Subsection 13.1 shall not apply to proceedings for injunctive relief or to claims, disputes, interpretations, or clarifications relating to Confidential Information or your confidentiality or indemnification obligations. You also understand that Look Forward retains the right, and has the sole and final discretion, to assert or file any claim, suit, action or proceeding whatsoever that Look Forward has against you in a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding any provisions in this Section 13.
      2. Class Action Waiver. You and Look Forward agree that any proceedings to resolve Arbitrable Disputes will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and Look Forward both agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding related to any Arbitrable Disputes. Further, unless you and Look Forward agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any Arbitrable Dispute may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class action proceeding.
