Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution. a) This Licence and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. b) In the event of any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with this Licence, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, the parties will first attempt to settle such claim or dispute by discussion between the Company Secretary or Director of The Company of Biologists and a Senior Executive of the Licensee (such as the Vice Chancellor if Licensee is an Institution, or a Senior Director if the Licensee is a company). In the event that the dispute is not resolved by such senior executives within thirty (30) days, the parties will then attempt to settle any such dispute between them by mediation in accordance with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (“CEDR”) model mediation procedure. The mediation will take place in London, England and will be initiated by one party giving written notice to the other (“ADR”) notice requesting a mediation. A copy of that request should be sent to CEDR. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, CEDR shall nominate a mediator. c) If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the mediation request by CEDR pursuant to clause 15)b) above, or such further period as the parties shall agree in writing, the parties irrevocably agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Licence, including a dispute as to validity or existence of the Licence, and/or this clause 15), shall be resolved at the sole option of The Company of Biologists either: i) by binding arbitration under the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The language of such arbitration shall be English, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator and the seat or legal place of arbitration shall be London, England. In the event of a failure by the Parties to agree on the sole arbitrator within thirty (30) days of one party calling on the other to do so, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA, and the arbitrator shall be and shall remain independent and impartial of each party; or ii) by proceedings brought in the courts of England, which courts are to have exclusive jurisdiction.
