Disputes Involving. $75,000 or Less. Microsoft will promptly reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If you reject Microsoft’s last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed (“Microsoft’s last written offer”), your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”), and the arbitrator awards you more than Microsoft’s last written offer, Microsoft will give you three incentives: (i) pay the greater of the award or $1,000; (ii) pay twice your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses unless you and Microsoft agree on them.
Disputes Involving. Any Amount. In any arbitration you commence, Manufacturer will seek its AAA or arbitrator’s fees and expenses, or your filing fees it reimbursed, only if the arbitrator finds the arbitration frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. In any arbitration Manufacturer commences, Manufacturer will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Manufacturer will not seek its attorney’s fees or expenses from you in any arbitration. Fees and expenses are not counted in determining how much a dispute involves.
Disputes Involving. Safety In any dispute involving safety, M.I.O.S.H.A. will be used and their decision will be final and binding upon the parties. If, however, M.I.O.S.H.A. will not take jurisdiction, the matter is a proper subject for grievance arbitration.
