Claims Not Subject to Arbitration If the following claims are not resolved through informal Dispute Resolution, they will not be subject to arbitration and must be resolved through any remedy available to a Party pursuant to law, equity or agency mechanism.
Claims Subject to Arbitration Except as expressly provided below, the parties agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or a similar prior agreement, the Property or the relationship between Resident and Owner or Manager (including matters occurring prior to the date of this Agreement and disputes also involving third parties) (collectively, “Claims”) will, at the election of either party, be resolved by arbitration, including any dispute about arbitrability, such as scope and enforceability.
Binding Arbitration If the mediation reaches no solution or the parties agree to forego mediation, the parties will promptly submit their disputes to binding arbitration before one or more arbitrators (collectively or singly, the "ARBITRATOR") the parties agree to select (or whom, absent agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction selects). The arbitration must follow applicable law related to arbitration proceedings and, where appropriate, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. ARBITRATION PRINCIPLES All statutes of limitations and substantive laws applicable to a court proceeding will apply to this proceeding. The Arbitrator will have the power to grant relief in equity as well as at law, to issue subpoenas duces tecum, to question witnesses, to consider affidavits (provided there is a fair opportunity to rebut the affidavits), to require briefs and written summaries of the material evidence, and to relax the rules of evidence and procedure, provided that the Arbitrator must not admit evidence it does not consider reliable. The Arbitrator will not have the authority to add to, detract from, or modify any provision of this Agreement. The parties agree (and the Arbitrator must agree) that all proceedings and decisions of the Arbitrator will be maintained in confidence, to the extent legally permissible, and not be made public by any party or the Arbitrator without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration, except as the law may otherwise require. DISCOVERY; EVIDENCE; PRESUMPTIONS The parties have selected arbitration to expedite the resolution of disputes and to reduce the costs and burdens associated with litigation. The parties agree that the Arbitrator should take these concerns into account when determining whether to authorize discovery and, if so, the scope of permissible discovery and other hearing and pre-hearing procedures. The Arbitrator may permit reasonable discovery rights in preparation for the arbitration, provided that it should accelerate the scheduling of and responses to such discovery so as not to unreasonably delay the arbitration. Exhibits must be marked and left with the Arbitrator until it has rendered a decision. Either party may elect, at its expense, to record the proceedings by audiotape or stenographic recorder (but not by video). The Arbitrator may conclude that the applicable law of any foreign jurisdiction would be identical to that of Texas on the pertinent issue(s), absent a party's providing the Arbitrator with relevant authorities (and copying the opposing party) at least five business days before the arbitration hearing. NATURE OF AWARD The Arbitrator must render its award, to the extent feasible, within 30 days after the close of the hearing. The award must set forth the material findings of fact and legal conclusions supporting the award. The parties agree that it will be final, binding, and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction. Where necessary or appropriate to effectuate relief, the Arbitrator may issue equitable orders as part of or ancillary to the award. The Arbitrator must equitably allocate the costs and fees of the proceeding and may consider in doing so the relative fault of the parties. The Arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party to the extent a court could have made such an award.

Claims Subject to Mandatory Arbitration The following claims, if not settled through informal Dispute Resolution, will be subject to mandatory arbitration pursuant to Section 10.7 below:
Limitations on Arbitration If the parties agree to resolve a claim by arbitration, that claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to that agreement, and the agreement would not allow claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other Cardmembers, or other persons similarly situated. The arbitrator’s authority is limited to claims between you and us alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless you and we agree in writing. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award. Notwithstanding any other provision and without waiving the right to appeal such decision, if any portion of these Limitations on Arbitration provisions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration provision (other than this sentence) will not apply. Arbitration Procedures This Arbitration provision is governed by the FAA. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law, statutes of limitations and privileges. The arbitrator will not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence in matters relating to evidence or discovery. Subject to the Limitations on Arbitration provisions, the arbitrator may otherwise award any relief available in court. The arbitration will be confidential, but you may notify any government authority of your claim. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in person hearing. At any party's request, the arbitrator will provide a brief written explanation of the award. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA; however, any party will have 30 days to appeal the award by notifying the arbitration organization and all parties in writing. The organization will appoint a three arbitrator panel to decide anew, by majority vote based on written submissions, any aspect of the decision objected to. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. At your election, arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial district of your residence. Arbitration Fees and Costs You will be responsible for paying your share of any arbitration fees (including filing, administrative, hearing or other fees), but only up to the amount of the filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in court. We will be responsible for any additional arbitration fees. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of your share of any arbitration fees, or paying for the reasonable fees of an expert appointed by the arbitrator for good cause. Additional Arbitration Awards If the arbitrator rules in your favor for an amount greater than any final offer we made before arbitration, the arbitrator's award will include: (1) any money to which you are entitled, but in no case less than $5,000; and
Final and Binding Arbitration If the grievance has not been resolved at Step 2, either party to this Agreement may refer unsettled grievances to final and binding arbitration.
Disputes and Arbitration 22. Any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this contract shall be disposed of by good faith negotiation between duly authorized representatives of the County, the Office of the State Auditor, and the Firm. Such a resolution shall be reduced to writing and a copy thereof mailed or furnished to the Firm and shall be final and conclusive. If a resolution cannot be reached, the Firm shall mail or furnish to the Board of Supervisors of the County and the Office of the State Auditor a written request for review. The Firm shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of his/her/its position on the issue in dispute and under review. The review will be handled under a three (3) person panel for arbitration composed of the Deputy State Auditor, the Director of Technical Assistance and the Director of the Financial and Compliance Audit Division. The decision of the Arbitration Panel of the Office of the State Auditor on the review shall be final and conclusive unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in Xxxxx County, State of Mississippi, to have been fraudulent, capricious, or so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad faith, or not be supported by substantial evidence. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the Firm shall proceed diligently with the performance of the duties and obligations of the contract.
