The arbitration shall be conducted by and submitted to a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") selected from and administered by the Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon of JAMS ("JAMS"), in accordance with its then existing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures; however, upon the written demand of any Party to the arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by and submitted to three Arbitrators selected from and administered by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures.

The Arbitrator(s), and not a court, shall also be authorized to determine whether this clause 11 applies to a Claim sought to be resolved hereunder. The Arbitrator(s) shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and a written statement of decision describing the material factual findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.
