Governing Law; Disputes 15.1 The laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. govern this Agreement, and the relationships created by it, except for its laws regarding conflicts of law and arbitrability; the Federal Arbitration Act governs all issues of arbitrability. Neither party may bring a claim more than two years after the underlying cause of action first accrues. 15.2 Each party agrees to give the other prompt written notice of any claim, controversy, or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, and both parties agree to engage in good faith discussions to resolve the matter. If that fails to resolve the matter promptly, upon the election of either party, the parties will participate in a non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed mediator. Any controversy, claim or dispute which is not resolved through the procedures set forth above within 60 days following the initial notice (or such longer period as the parties may agree) will be resolved by arbitration before a sole arbitrator who is an attorney, under the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The duty and right to arbitrate will extend to any employee, officer, director, shareholder, agent, or affiliate, of a party to the extent that right or duty arises through a party or is related to this Agreement. The decision and award of the arbitrator will be final and binding, and the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator is directed to hear and decide potentially dispositive motions in advance of a hearing on the merits by applying the applicable law to undisputed facts and documents. The arbitration will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. This Section 15.2, and the obligation to mediate and arbitrate, will not apply to claims for infringement, misappropriation or misuse of a party’s intellectual property or Confidential Information, or collection of sums owed to NCR Voyix under this Agreement. A party may at any time seek from a court of competent jurisdiction an injunction or other equitable relief in aid of arbitration. The arbitrator will not have authority to award punitive damages, non- compensatory damages, or any damages other than direct damages, nor have authority to award direct damages inconsistent with the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Agreement. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
