JAMS/ENDISPUTE Sample Clauses
The JAMS/ENDISPUTE clause designates JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services), formerly known as ENDISPUTE, as the organization responsible for administering any arbitration or mediation proceedings arising from the contract. In practice, this means that if a dispute occurs, the parties agree to resolve it through JAMS’s established procedures and rules, often selecting arbitrators or mediators from JAMS’s roster. This clause ensures a neutral, professional forum for dispute resolution, providing predictability and efficiency while avoiding traditional court litigation.

JAMS/ENDISPUTE. Any dispute to be arbitrated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 31.20 shall be determined by binding arbitration before a retired judge of the Superior Court of the State of California (the "ARBITRATOR") under the auspices of JAMS/Endispute ("JAMS") in San Diego, California. Such arbitration shall be initiated by the parties, or either of them, within ten (10) business days after either party sends written notice (the "ARBITRATION NOTICE") of a demand to arbitrate by registered or certified mail to the other party and to JAMS. The Arbitration Notice shall contain a description of the subject matter of the arbitration, the dispute with respect thereto, the amount involved, if any, and the remedy or determination sought. The parties may agree on a retired judge from the JAMS panel. If they are unable to promptly agree, JAMS will provide a list of three (3) available judges and each party may strike one. The remaining judge (or if there are two (2), the one selected by JAMS) will serve as the Arbitrator. In the event that JAMS shall no longer exist or if JAMS fails or refuses to accept submission of such dispute, then the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in San Diego, California under the AAA's commercial arbitration rules then in effect.
