Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
The parties agrees that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, the Certificates, and this Arbitration Provision (collectively “Disputes”), shall be determined by binding arbitration, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction (meaning that the parties are waiving their right to a jury trial or trial before a judge in a public court), except that either party may seek injunctive or declaratory relief in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the County of Dover, Delaware. The parties agree that, by agreeing to this Arbitration Provision, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that each party is waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, interpretation, and enforceability of this Arbitration Provision. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement. The arbitration shall take place before a single neutral arbitrator in Lexington, Kentucky. THE PARTIES EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with that party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void.
Miscellaneous
Any advertising under this Agreement shall not fulfill any advertising commitments under any other agreement between the parties. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules (whether of the state of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of Delaware. All representations, warranties, and covenants (including, but not limited to the indemnification obligations) contained in this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Enforceability
If any part of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. EZhire’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the conduct between the parties nor trade practices shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement. You acknowledge that EZhire and you are independent contractors under this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship. EZhire may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you, but you may not assign your rights and obligations under any circumstances. You may not amend this Agreement in any manner without EZhire’s express prior written approval.
