Functions of Arbitral Tribunals 1. The functions of the arbitral tribunal shall be: (a) to make an objective assessment of the matter before it, including that of the facts of the case and the applicability of and conformity with this Agreement, and make the necessary findings and rulings for the resolution of the dispute; and (b) to consult regularly with the Parties offering them equal opportunities for such consultations and provide adequate opportunities for the development of a mutually satisfactory resolution. 2. The arbitral tribunal may adopt additional rules and procedures consistent with the provisions of this Chapter.
Selection of Arbitrators 1. Unless the disputing parties otherwise agree, the tribunal shall comprise three arbitrators:
Selection of Arbitrator The Claims shall be resolved by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the Rules, and must have experience in the types of financial transactions at issue in the Claims. In the event of a conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement shall supersede the conflicting Rules only to the extent of the inconsistency. If AAA is unavailable to resolve the Claims, and if you and we do not agree on a substitute forum, then you can select the forum for the resolution of the Claims.
