RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES |
| |
|
16.1 |
Forum |
| |
| |
Any dispute, controversy or claim shall be settled by arbitration in the Province of British Columbia or such other location as may be agreed by the Parties in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect, except as specifically otherwise stated in this Attachment. Judgement upon the award, if any, rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Party
against whom the award is sought to be entered. The arbitration shall be administered by any organization mutually agreed upon by the Parties or, if they are unable to agree, the AAA. |
| |
|
16.2 |
Additional Procedure |
| |
| |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may now or hereafter be contained in the rules of the AAA, the procedures set out in this Paragraph shall apply. |
| |
| |
(a) |
A notice of Arbitration shall set out a plain statement of the matter that the Party sending the notice (the “Instituting Party”) believes to be a breach of duty or agreement or is in dispute (the “Demand”).
The Demand shall (i) include a plain (but reasonable detailed) statement of the operative facts upon which the Demand is predicated, (ii) reference principal provisions of the Contract that the Instituting Party views as controlling and/or whose
interpretation is in the Instituting Party’s view controlling or pertinent, and (iii) have attached copies of all pertinent documents and other things then in its possession or under its control which the Instituting Party views as having
direct bearing on the statement of the operative facts supporting the claim and/or the remedy sought under the Demand. Either within the Demand or as an attachment to it, the specific remedy sought shall be set out in such concrete detail as to
enable the arbitrators to endorse it, without any modification of relief, as their award and shall include, without limitation, the specific dollar amount of any damages sought, and a detailed statement of the specific terms of any affirmative
performance or other remedy sought (the Parties acknowledge that to prevent unauthorized disclosure, whether in an |

| |
award confirmation procedure or otherwise, any confidential information of either Party may be set out in a separate annex or document and be subject to a protective order). |
| |
| |
(b) |
The receiving Party (the “Other Party”) shall, within twenty (20) Days of receipt of the Demand, provide to the Instituting Party a response (the “Answer”), which shall (i) include a plain (but reasonably
detailed) statement of the operative facts upon which the Other Party relies, (ii) reference principal provisions of the Contract that the Other Party views as controlling and/or whose interpretation is in the Other Party’s view controlling or
pertinent, and (iii) have attached copies of all pertinent documents and other things (other than those attached to the Demand) then in its possession or under its control which the Other Party views as having direct bearing to support the
contentions of the Answer and/or as having direct bearing on the statement of the operative facts asserted by way of defence and/or a counterclaim and/or any remedy proposed by the Other Party. Either within the Answer or as an attachment to it, the
Other Party shall proved a specific counterproposal of the concrete remedy sought by the Instituting Party. A counterproposal remedy proposed, and any counterclaim being sought, by the Other Party shall be made with the same particularity as is
required of the Instituting Party. |
| |
| |
(c) |
The Demand, the Answer and their attachments shall be duly filed with the arbitrators. After the Instituting Party and the Other Party have presented their positions on the merits to the arbitrators, the arbitrators shall fix a
date on which both Parties may simultaneously exchange final proposed remedies, with copies to be simultaneously provided to the arbitrators. In addition, either Party may, at any time after the Other Party files the Answer, with leave of the other,
serve upon the other and file with the arbitrators an amended proposed remedy, it being the intention of the Parties that the exchanges of proposed remedies shall ▇▇▇▇▇▇ amicable resolution. |
| |
|
16.3 |
Appointment of Arbitrators |
| |
| |
Each Party shall, within thirty (30) Days after receipt of the Instituting Party’s Demand, appoint one impartial person (who shall, in the appointing Party’s view, be knowledgeable with respect to the issues in dispute,
but not be directly associated with the Party) to hear and determine the dispute. (If a Party shall fail to so designate its arbitrator within said thirty (30) Days, then, except as the Parties may otherwise mutually agree, the arbitrator designated
by the Party designating an arbitrators shall act as the sole arbitrator and shall be deemed to be the single, mutually approved impartial arbitrator to resolve the controversy, and all references in the Attachment to the “arbitrators”
shall, unless otherwise indicated, refer to such single arbitrator.) The two persons so chosen shall, within |
| |
|
STAGE [X] PROOF OF CONCEPT
|
Page 10 of 13
|
CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT
|
|
Aug 02 – Rev 0
|
|
|
twenty (20) Days after their appointment, endeavour to mutually select a third, impartial arbitrator, who shall, in their view, be knowledgeable with respect to the issues in dispute. If they shall be unable to do so within said
twenty (20) Days, either Party may petition the AAA or any court of competent jurisdiction in New York (or in any other jurisdiction to which both Parties may, in their discretion, agree) to appoint the third arbitrator. The majority decision of the
arbitrators (or the decision of the sole arbitrator, if applicable) shall be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable.
|
(a) |
Each arbitrator shall be knowledgeable of the relevant issues. Each Party shall pay the arbitrator it designated and shall equally share the cost of the third (or, if applicable, the sole) arbitrator. In the event that the Parties
are unable to agree upon a rate of compensation for the third (or sole) arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be compensated for his or her services at a rate to be determined by the AAA. |
| |
|
(b) |
Discovery shall be liberally allowed by the arbitrators as contemplated by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, subject, however, to such limitations as the arbitrators determine to be appropriate under the circumstances, it being
the Parties’ mutual desire to have a prompt and efficient arbitration with full disclosure of the relevant facts. |
| |
|
(c) |
The arbitrators shall endeavour to promptly schedule the hearing, and to hold the hearing (on a single day, or on consecutive days if practicable and necessary), and shall (as to the remedy selected by the arbitrators as the final
award, solely to the extent contained in the remedy finally sought by the Instituting Party or the remedy finally proposed or sought by the Other Party) have authority to award relief under legal or equitable principles, including interim or
preliminary relief (which interim or preliminary relief shall be as decided by the arbitrators who shall, however, use their best effort to fashion any interim or preliminary relief within the boundaries of the remedy sought by the Party in whose
favour interim or preliminary relief is awarded). |
| |
| |
Multiple hearings may be held if necessary to provide interim or preliminary relief but not preclude a final hearing on the merits unless the Parties should so agree. Nothing in this Attachment shall impair the right of a Party to
seek interim or preliminary relief in a U.S. or Cinicinnati court of competent jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction to which both Parties may, in their discretion, agree or failing such agreement provided for by the US Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure before the arbitration panel is constituted and convened. |
| |
|
(d) |
Other than attorney’ fees and expenses (which shall be borne by the Party incurring the same), the costs of the arbitration (excluding payment of the |

| |
arbitrators as set forth above) shall be borne by the losing Party or shall be allocated between the Parties in such proportions as the arbitrators decide. |
| |
|
(e) |
The arbitrators’ award insofar as remedies (other than allocation of costs of arbitration) shall be limited to a selection of the final remedy sought or proposed by (i) the Instituting Party or (ii) the Other Party. In making
their decision, the arbitrator(s) shall be bound by the terms of this Contract. The arbitrators will make findings of fact and conclusions of law as necessary to support a written opinion to be signed by each arbitrator and which shall be final,
binding, conclusive, non-appealable and simultaneously served upon both Parties. |
| |
|
16.4 |
Confidentiality |
| |
| |
Each Party may designate certain or all of its documents as confidential. If so, a Protective Order, as signed by the Parties, shall be put in place and specify who may have access to and know of such documents and specify their
return or destruction following the arbitration |
| |
|
17.0 |
NOTICES |
| |
| |
Any notice to be given under to this Contract shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given by a Party if delivered personally to the other Party or if sent by registered mail, or transmitted by E-mail, or
