  • This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Georgia and the United States of America without regard to conflict of law provisions.

The arbitration will be conducted before a three-arbitrator panel (one arbitrator selected by each party, and such arbitrators select the third) unless: (i) the parties agree in writing to conduct arbitration before a single arbitrator; or (ii) one party provides written notice to the other of its desire to conduct the arbitration before a single arbitrator and the other party does not object in writing within thirty (30) days, in which case the arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator. Notwithstanding the preceding, if one party does not pay its portion of arbitration and arbitrator fees to the Institute for Christian Conciliation in such a timely manner as to allow the arbitration to proceed, the single party paying the relevant fees shall be entitled to select the number of arbitrators. Any request for arbitration shall be delivered to the other party and shall contain a summary of the controversy or claim, the causes of action and theories of liability that the requesting party believes it has against the other party, and a statement of the relief which the requesting party believes to be appropriate. The arbitration will be completed in no more than sixty (60) days from the date the arbitrator(s) are selected, unless the arbitrator(s) require an extension. Any arbitration hearings will be held in Fulton County, Georgia. Judgment upon any award rendered in arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties understand that, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, these methods shall be the sole remedy for any controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement and expressly waive their right to file a lawsuit in any civil court against one another for such disputes, except to enforce an arbitration decision or to pursue a claim for injunctive relief as noted above; provided that this paragraph does not prevent ICN from seeking an injunction or other extraordinary relief to protect or stop the infringement of the Trademarks or the Content, and the Organization agrees that ICN shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to stop such infringement.
