10. Dispute Resolution.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement, the parties desire to resolve disputes arising out of the Agreement without court litigation. Accordingly, the parties agree to use the dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Section with respect to any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement or its breach (“Dispute Resolution”). Dispute Resolution shall commence upon the sending from one party to the other party of written notice of a controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement or its breach. No party may pursue any claim unless such written notice has first been given to the other party. When such a written notice has been given, each party will appoint a knowledgeable, responsible representative to meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute arising under the Agreement. The location, form, frequency, duration, and conclusion of these discussions will be left to the discretion of the representatives. Upon agreement, the representatives may utilize other alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation to assist in the negotiations. Discussion and the correspondence among the representatives for purposes of settlement are exempt from discovery and production and will not be admissible in the arbitration described below or in any lawsuit without the prior written concurrence of both parties. Documents identified in or provided with such communications, which are not prepared for purposes of the negotiations, are not so exempted and, if otherwise admissible, may be admitted in evidence in the arbitration or lawsuit. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through the informal procedure described above, then either party may invoke the following formal Dispute Resolution procedures by submitting to the other party a written demand for arbitration. Unless agreed upon by the parties, formal dispute resolution procedures, including arbitration or other procedures as appropriate, may be invoked not earlier than 30 days after the date of the letter initiating dispute resolution under this Section. All claims will be subject to arbitration if, and only if, the claim is not settled through informal dispute resolution and both parties agree to arbitration. If both parties do not agree to arbitration, then either party may proceed with any remedy available to it pursuant to law, equity or agency mechanism. The parties agree that any dispute subject to arbitration shall be held in the location specified in the Information Services Agreement in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, except if the primary business location of Customer is outside the United States, the rules to be used will be the ICDR International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court having jurisdiction. The parties shall each pay one-half of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each of the parties shall separately pay its counsel fees and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, in the event that either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief under the Agreement (“Equitable Relief Claim”), such party shall not be required to use the Dispute Resolution procedure or arbitrate such Equitable Relief Claim and may file such Equitable Relief Claim in any court having jurisdiction.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

The Agreement will be governed under the laws of the jurisdiction specified in the Information Services Agreement, without regard to the conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to the Agreement. If both parties do not agree to arbitration and a party elects to proceed with any remedy available to it pursuant to law or equity, as described in Section 10, the parties irrevocably agrees that the courts with subject matter jurisdiction located in the jurisdiction specified in the Information Services Agreement, in the first instance, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any suit, action or proceedings, and/or to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with the Agreement or its formation or validity and, for these purposes, each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. If any action is instituted by a party to enforce any of the terms and provisions contained in the Agreement, or for breach thereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to such reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses as may be fixed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

12. Additional Terms.

A printed version of the Agreement and any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial proceedings or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Service Provider and Customer with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any conflicting or additional terms contained in any purchase order or other document. No delay or omission by Service Provider to exercise any right or power it has under the Agreement or to object to the failure of any covenant of Customer to be performed in a timely and complete manner, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant; any waivers must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Service Provider may assign the Agreement in its discretion and without notice to Customer; Customer may not assign the Agreement without the prior written consent of Service Provider. The Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. It is the express wish of the parties that the Agreement be drawn up in English. La volonté expresse des parties aux présentes est que ce Agreement soit rédigé en anglais.
