(e) | The arbitrator may not limit, expand or otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement. | ||
(f) | Each party shall bear its own expenses incurred in any arbitration or litigation, but any expenses related to the compensation and the costs of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties to the dispute. | ||
