The arbitration will be conducted in the English language and will occur in Los Angeles County, California. Any arbitration will be in front of a single arbitrator, unless (i) ICANN is seeking punitive or exemplary damages, or operational sanctions, (ii) the parties agree in writing to a greater number of arbitrators, or (iii) the dispute arises under Section 7.6 or 7.7. In the case of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding sentence, the arbitration will be in front of three arbitrators with each party selecting one arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators selecting the third arbitrator. In order to expedite the arbitration and limit its cost, the arbitrator(s) shall establish page limits for the parties\u2019 filings in conjunction with the arbitration, and should the arbitrator(s) determine that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall be limited to one (1) calendar day, provided that in any arbitration in which ICANN is seeking punitive or exemplary damages, or operational sanctions, the hearing may be extended for one (1) additional calendar day if agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the arbitrator(s) based on the arbitrator(s) independent determination or the reasonable request of one of the parties thereto. The prevailing party in the arbitration will have the right to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys\u2019 fees, which the arbitrator(s) shall include in the awards. In the event the arbitrators determine that Registry Operator has been repeatedly and willfully in fundamental and material breach of its obligations set forth in Article 2, Article 6 or Section 5.4 of this Agreement, ICANN may request the arbitrators award punitive or exemplary damages, or operational sanctions (including without limitation an order temporarily restricting Registry Operator\u2019s right to sell new registrations). Each party shall treat information received from the other party pursuant to the arbitration that is appropriately marked as confidential (as required by Section 7.15) as Confidential Information of such other party in accordance with Section 7.15. In any litigation involving ICANN concerning this Agreement, jurisdiction and exclusive venue for such litigation will be in a court located in Los Angeles County, California; however, the parties will also have the right to enforce a judgment of such a court in any court of competent jurisdiction.", "size": 3298, "samples": [{"hash": "2dTeQYUHztE", "uri": "/contracts/2dTeQYUHztE#arbitration",

Claims are decided by a neutral arbitrator. Before beginning arbitration, you or we must first send a claim notice. Claims will be referred to either JAMS or AAA, as selected by the party electing arbitration. Claims will be resolved pursuant to this Arbitration provision and the selected organization's rules in effect when the claim is filed, except where those rules conflict with this Agreement. If we choose the organization, you may select the other within 30 days after receiving notice of our selection. Contact JAMS or AAA to begin an arbitration or for other information. Claims also may be referred to another arbitration organization if you and we agree in writing or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). We will not elect arbitration for any claim you file in small claims court, so long as the claim is individual and pending only in that court. You or we may otherwise elect to arbitrate any claim at any time unless it has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered. Either you or we may delay enforcing or not exercise rights under this Arbitration provision, including the right to arbitrate a claim, without waiving the right to exercise or enforce those rights. Notwithstanding any other provision and without waiving the right to appeal such decision, if any portion of these Limitations on Arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration provision (other than this sentence) will not apply. This Arbitration provision is governed by the FAA. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law, statutes of limitations and privileges. The arbitrator will not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence in matters relating to evidence or discovery. Subject to the Limitations on Arbitration, the arbitrator may otherwise award any relief available in court. You and we agree that the arbitration will be confidential. You and we agree that we will not disclose the content of the arbitration proceeding or its outcome to anyone, but you or we may notify any government authority of the claim as permitted or required by law. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. At any party's request, the arbitrator will provide a brief written explanation of the award. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, subject to each party's right to appeal as stated in this section and/or to challenge or appeal an arbitration award pursuant to the FAA. To initiate an appeal, a party must notify the arbitration organization and all parties in writing within 35 days after the arbitrator's award is issued. The arbitration organization will appoint a three- arbitrator panel to decide anew, by majority vote based on written submissions, any aspect of the decision objected to. The appeal will otherwise proceed pursuant to the arbitration organization's appellate rules. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. At your election, arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial district of your residence. You will be responsible for paying your share of any arbitration fees (including filing, administrative, hearing or other fees), but only up to the amount of the filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in court. We will be responsible for any additional arbitration fees. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of your share of any arbitration fees, or paying for the reasonable fees of an expert appointed by the arbitrator for good cause. If the arbitrator rules in your favor for an amount greater than any final offer we made before the final hearing in arbitration, the arbitrator's award will include: (1) any money to which you are entitled, but in no case less than $5,000; and (2) any reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expert and other witness fees.", "size": 1441, "samples": [{"hash": "hXLSkzVg2eA", "uri":

\u201cDispute\u201d) shall first be resolved through good faith negotiation by the parties, with the claiming party providing written notice of the Dispute (the \u201cNotice of Dispute\u201d) to the other party, which notice shall describe in sufficient detail the nature of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved between the parties within thirty (30) Business Days after the claiming party delivers the Notice of Dispute (provided that such thirty (30)-Business Day period may be extended upon agreement of the parties), then, at the election of either party, the Dispute shall be finally settled as follows:\n(a) The arbitration shall be conducted by a single (1) arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (\u201cAAA\u201d) in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York.\n(b) The arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA from its list of qualified arbitrators and shall have no actual or potential conflict of interests in connection with deciding or hearing the Dispute.\n(c) The arbitration shall be conducted in an expedited manner. There shall be one round of prehearing submissions by each party, whether simultaneous or sequential as directed by the tribunal, and no reply or rejoinder submissions shall be made unless the tribunal expressly so authorizes. The hearing shall be held within four (4) months of the constitution of the arbitral tribunal and shall continue, to the extent practicable, from Business Day to Business Day until completed. There shall be no post-hearing submissions except as directed by the tribunal, and before ordering such submissions, the tribunal shall identify for the parties, on the basis of its assessment of the case as of that time, the specific issues or matters it believes should be addressed. The tribunal shall endeavor to render its award within six (6) weeks of the last day of the hearing. The tribunal may modify this schedule for good cause shown. Failure to comply with any time period set out in this Section 13 shall not affect in any way the jurisdiction of the tribunal or the validity of its award.\n(d) Any request for production of documents or other information is subject to the express authorization of the tribunal, which shall endeavor to ensure that any such requests are as limited and disciplined as is consistent with the just resolution of the dispute. The parties expressly waive any right to seek evidence under 9 U.S.C. \u00a7 7 or any similar provision. A party may request, and the tribunal should authorize, production only of specific documents or narrow and specific categories of documents that are critical to the fair presentation of a party\u2019s case and reasonably believed to exist and be in the possession, custody or control of the other party.\n(e) The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitral tribunal, the AAA, the parties, their counsel, accountants and auditors, insurers and re-insurers or any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding. These confidentiality obligations shall not apply (i) if disclosure is required by law or regulatory obligations or in judicial or administrative proceedings or as necessary for tax purposes (including in connection with an audit or other examination relating to taxes) or (ii) as far as disclosure is necessary to enforce the rights arising out of the award.\n(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the tribunal may grant specific performance or injunctive relief where authorized under this Agreement or applicable law. The tribunal shall have the authority to make orders for interim relief necessary to preserve a party\u2019s rights, including preliminary injunctive relief. The parties agree that any ruling by the tribunal on interim measures shall be deemed to be a final award with respect to the subject matter of the ruling and shall be fully enforceable as such. Each party hereby acknowledges that money damages may be an inadequate remedy for a breach or anticipated breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that will be suffered in the event that this Agreement is breached. Therefore, in the event of a breach or anticipated breach of this Agreement by the other party or its Affiliates, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, seek an injunction to prohibit such breach or anticipated breach. Each party acknowledges and agrees that an injunction is a proper, but not exclusive, remedy available to each party and that the harm from any breach or anticipated breach of the covenants set forth in this Agreement would be irreparable and immediate.\n(g) Notwithstanding Section 11 of this Agreement, the agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 13 and any arbitration conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code.\n(h) The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the County of New York, State of New York, as well as all appellate courts having jurisdiction over appeals from any of the foregoing, for the limited purpose of: (i) an application to compel arbitration or to resolve any dispute concerning the validity or effectiveness of this agreement to arbitrate; or (ii) an application for relief in aid of arbitration or enforcement of an arbitration award (including an application for a restraining order and/or injunction to preserve the party\u2019s rights). A request to a court for any of the foregoing remedies shall not be deemed incompatible with or a waiver of any party\u2019s right to arbitrate. Each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.\n(i) The costs of administration of the arbitration and any arbitrator\u2019s fees shall be borne equally by the parties, unless the arbitrator determines that such costs or a part thereof shall otherwise be borne by the parties.\n(j) The award shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.\n(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, without having to amend this Agreement pursuant to Section 26, the parties may by written agreement: (i) vary the procedures set forth above in Sections 13(a)-(j) or (ii) otherwise utilize another form of dispute resolution to address any Dispute in lieu of the arrangement described in this Section 13. For the avoidance of doubt, if a dispute, controversy or claim relates to the issue or question of whether a party has breached its obligations under Section 22, such dispute, controversy or claim shall be deemed to be a \u201cDispute\u201d hereunder and be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.", "size": 904, "samples": [{"hash": "84tMn0aipxk", "uri":
