DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Each Party agrees that all controversies, claims, or disputes with any other Party (including any Party’s employees, agents, officers, directors, managers, trustees, stakeholders, or representatives in their capacity as such or otherwise), arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any actual or alleged breach, or the termination, validity, interpretation and performance thereof (“Dispute”) shall be resolved with the following procedures:
1. NEGOTIATION. Upon written notice of any Dispute, the Parties shall attempt to resolve it promptly by negotiation between representatives who have authority to settle the Dispute and this process should be completed within 30 days (the “Negotiation”).
2. MEDIATION. If the dispute has not been resolved by Negotiation in accordance with Section 30.a then the Parties shall proceed to mediation unless the Parties at the time of dispute agree to a different time frame. A “Notice of Mediation” shall be served, signifying that the Negotiation was not successful and to commence the mediation process to be held and conducted in a city agreed upon by the Parties. The Parties shall agree on a mediator; however, if they cannot agree within fourteen (14) days then a local mediation service provider shall appoint a mediator. The mediation session shall be held within forty-five (45) days of the retention of the mediator, and last for at least one (1) full mediation day, before any party has the option to withdraw from the process. The Parties may agree to continue the mediation process beyond one (1) day, until there is a settlement agreement, or a Party or the mediator states that there is no reason to continue because of an impasse that cannot be overcome and sends a “Notice of Impasse.” All reasonable efforts will be made to complete the mediation within thirty (30) days of the first mediation session. During the course of the mediation, no Party shall assert the failure to fully comply with Section 03.a as a reason not to proceed or to delay the mediation. The service of the Notice of Mediation shall stay the running of any applicable statute of limitations regarding the Dispute until thirty (30) days after the Parties agree that the mediation is concluded or the mediator issues a Notice of Impasse. The process shall be confidential based on terms acceptable to the mediator and/or mediation service provider. All communications, both written and oral, during Negotiation or Mediation are confidential and shall be treated as settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence; however, documents generated in the ordinary course of business prior to the Dispute, that would otherwise be discoverable, do not become confidential simply because they are used in the negotiation and/or mediation process. Each side shall bear an equal share of the mediation costs, unless the Parties agree otherwise. If a Party refuses to mediate the Dispute prior to bringing an action in court, that Party shall not be entitled to recover attorney fees and costs in the event that Party prevails in subsequent action.
3. ARBITRATION. Any Dispute not resolved through negotiation or mediation in accordance with Section 30.a and/or Section 30.b shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. The Parties agree that discovery shall be limited to one (1) set each of written Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents, and no depositions may be conducted. The arbitration shall be held in a city agreed upon by the Parties using one (1) arbitrator, unless the Dispute exceeds one million dollars (USD) in which case there shall be three (3), neutral arbitrators, as a panel. Any and all arbitrators shall be mutually selected by the Parties. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any Party for the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, motions to dismiss, or any other motion, prior to any arbitration hearing. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award any remedies or monetary damages under applicable law and consistent with this Agreement, and that the arbitrator(s) shall award attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing Party. Notwithstanding, the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be in writing and shall be binding on both Parties. The arbitrator(s) shall not order or require Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law. Arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute between Client and Company. The Parties understand that they are waiving their rights to other resolution processes (such as court action or administrative proceeding).

MUTUAL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages arising from or related to this agreement, including obligations, costs, claims, judgements, attorney’s fees, bodily injury, death, loss or revenue, property loss, or profits or other benefits, and claims by any third party, and all other damages and expenses arising from this Agreement and its Agreement Obligations even if the Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitation applies to all causes of action in the aggregate, including without limitation to breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, and other torts.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia. Any action to enforce all or any part of this Agreement shall be brought within the State of Virginia.
AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Its terms can be modified only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties, except that the Client may authorize expenses or revisions orally.
MISCELLANY. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties hereto, their heirs, successors, assigns, and personal representatives. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the Parties. A waiver of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions hereof.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, and any accompanying appendices, duplicates, or copies, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, representations, and understandings of any kind, whether written or oral, between the Parties, preceding the date of this Agreement.
SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held unenforceable for any reason, then such provision shall be modified to reflect the Parties’ intention. All remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of this Agreement.
