Common use of Claims Not Covered by the Agreement Clause in Contracts

Claims Not Covered by the Agreement. I agree that the following claims are not considered as a covered Dispute and are excluded under the Agreement: (i) Workers’ Compensation benefit claims; (ii) state unemployment or disability insurance compensation claims; (iii) claims for benefits under employee benefit plans covered by ERISA that contain an appeal procedure or other exclusive and/or binding dispute resolution procedure in the respective plan; (iv) claims under the National Labor Relations Act within the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board; and (v) claims that the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other controlling federal statutes bar from the coverage of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration agreements. The Company and I may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be entitled would be ineffectual without such provisional relief; provided, however, that all issues of final relief shall be decided in arbitration, and the pursuit of the temporary or preliminary injunctive relief described herein shall not constitute a waiver of rights under this Agreement.
