ARTICLE X

VOLUNTARY AND OPTIONAL AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES

 

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration pursuant to the following terms and conditions, which shall remain enforceable regardless of any termination of the Agreement:

 

1.              Voluntary Agreement.

 

The purpose of arbitration is to resolve any disputes in a timely, fair and individualized manner. Provider’s agreement to Arbitrate is not a mandatory condition of this Agreement, and if Provider rescinds his or her acceptance of the agreement to Arbitrate within the time specified below, this Article shall not be enforceable. At the written request of either Party, the Parties agree to consider, in good faith, any reasonable proposal to modify or amend the terms proposed by the other Party, or previously agreed upon in writing by the Parties. Provider is free to consult an attorney of his or her choice in connection with this process. If the Provider wishes to rescind his or her acceptance of the agreement to Arbitrate, he or she may do so at any time within 30 days of signing the Agreement by delivering and maintaining proof of delivery (such as a return receipt of certified mailing) of a signed written notice to the Group that Provider’s acceptance of the agreement to arbitrate pursuant to this Article has been rescinded. In the absence of a written, mutually executed amendment, this Article shall set forth the full and complete agreement between the Parties concerning the matters addressed within the scope of this Article and shall supersede all prior oral or written agreements concerning these matters.

 

2.             Covered Disputes.

 

These arbitration provisions shall apply to any claim or dispute alleging liability that arises from or relates to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, claims of wrongful employment termination, breach of contract, respondeat superior or vicarious liability, harassment or discrimination in employment, disputes concerning wage laws that are applicable only to employees, and all other similar employment relationship, contract, and principle-agent claims. The Arbitrator selected by the Parties shall be solely responsible for resolving any disputes over the interpretation or application of this Arbitration Agreement. Any arbitrable claims that, standing alone, would not be subject to these arbitration provisions shall be included within the scope of these standards if they arise from the same transaction or occurrence as claims that are independently subject to these arbitration provisions.

  

3.             Dispute Resolution Procedures.

 

The parties agree that each of them shall attempt to provide timely notice to the other party of any actual or perceived claim against the other and that they shall attempt to informally resolve any dispute that arises between them.

 

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree that it shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), selected from the then-current panel of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) that is most appropriate for the nature of the dispute as determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if such agreement cannot be reached, by AAA. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA Rules corresponding to the nature of the dispute. Should the nature of the dispute be deemed to fall within the Employment Rules, the Employment Rules of the AAA shall apply except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement. Other than in conjunction with a properly instituted arbitration, the parties shall not be required to adhere to mediation procedures prescribed by any AAA Rules except upon mutual agreement.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the interpretation, scope and enforcement of these arbitration provisions and all procedural issues shall be governed by the procedural and substantive provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), the federal decisional law construing the FAA, and the AAA Rules, provided the AAA Rules do not conflict with the FAA. In the event of a conflict, the terms of this Article and the FAA will prevail over the AAA Rules.

 

6

 

 

The arbitration fees incurred pursuant to these arbitration provisions will be borne as determined by the AAA Rules, unless the Employment Rules apply, in which case they shall be paid exclusively by the Group. Except as otherwise permitted by law and awarded by the arbitrator, each party shall bear her, his, or its own attorney fees and costs. In submitting their disputes to final and binding resolution by the Arbitrator, THE PARTIES VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OR COURT TRIAL.

 

4.             Small Claims Procedures.

 

If either Party asserts that a dispute involves an amount in controversy that is too small to warrant resolution by standard arbitration procedures, the claim may be resolved by a summary small claims procedure (the “Small Claims Procedure”). The Parties shall meet and confer to agree on whether the use of a Small Claims Procedure is appropriate in light of the nature and amount of the claim and, if so, what dispute resolution procedures are most appropriate. To the extent the Parties are unable to agree, the Arbitrator shall decide whether and to what extent a Small Claims Procedure shall apply. The Small Claims Procedure may involve relaxed rules of evidence, the use of broad principles of equity in place of strict application of law, telephonic hearings, and such other economic procedures as the Arbitrator deems appropriate under the circumstances of the dispute and consistent with due process. In no event, however, shall the Arbitrator utilize a Small Claims Procedure for a dispute involving a claim in excess of $50,000.

 

5.             Claims of Non-Parties Excluded From Arbitration.

 

The Parties wish to resolve any disputes between them in an individualized, informal, timely, and inexpensive manner and to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, any resort to litigation in a court of law. Consequently, the Arbitrator shall not consolidate or combine the resolution of any claim or dispute between the Parties pursuant to these arbitration provisions with the resolution of any claim by any other party or parties, including but not limited to any other actual or claimed employee of the Group. Nor shall the Arbitrator have the authority to certify a class under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 23, analogous state rules, or AAA rules pertaining to class arbitration, and the Arbitrator shall not decide claims on behalf of any other party or parties.

 

ARTICLE XI

TERM OF AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement will become effective on the Effective Date and shall be effective for an initial period ending on the last day of Group’s current fiscal year, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive periods of twelve (12) months after such date, each on the same terms and conditions contained herein, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
