Applicability of Arbitration; Remedial Authority Sample Clauses

Applicability of Arbitration; Remedial Authority. This agreement to resolve any disputes by binding arbitration shall extend to claims against any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of each party, and, when acting within such capacity, any officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of each party, or of any of the above, and shall apply as well to claims arising out of state and federal statutes and local ordinances as well as to claims arising under the common law. In the event of a dispute subject to this paragraph the parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery subject to the discretion of the arbitrator. The remedial authority of the arbitrator (which shall include the right to grant injunctive or other equitable relief) shall be the same as, but no greater than, would be the remedial power of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and their dispute. The arbitrator shall, upon an appropriate motion, dismiss any claim without an evidentiary hearing if the party bringing the motion establishes that he or it would be entitled to summary judgment if the matter had been pursued in court litigation. In the event of a conflict between the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association and these procedures, the provisions of these procedures shall govern.

The decision of the Arbitrator(s) (which shall be rendered in writing) shall be final, nonappealable and binding upon the Disputing Partners and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Partners agree that the Arbitrator(s) and any court enforcing the award of the Arbitrator(s) shall not have the right or authority to award punitive, special, consequential, indirect, exemplary or similar damages to any Disputing Partner. The responsibility for paying the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including compensation to any experts retained by the Arbitrator(s), shall be divided equally among the Disputing Partners.
