13. Dispute Resolution The
parties will attempt to resolve any claim, or dispute or controversy (whether
in contract, tort or otherwise) against SpaCom, its agents, employees,
successors, assigns or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this paragraph,
"SpaCom") arising out of or relating to this Agreement, SpaCom's
advertising, or any related purchase (a "Dispute") through face
to face negotiation with persons fully authorized to resolve the Dispute
or through mediation utilizing a mutually agreeable mediator, rather than
through litigation. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through
negotiation or mediation within a reasonable time after written notice
from one party to the other that a Dispute exists, the Dispute will be
settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current CPR
Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration. The Arbitration will be conducted
before three (3) independent and impartial arbitrators. SpaCom will appoint
one (1) arbitrator and the other party or parties will appoint one (1)
arbitrator. The two (2) appointed arbitrators will then select a third
arbitrator, who shall be the presiding arbitrator. The arbitration hearing
shall take place in Huntington, New York and will be governed by the United
States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state
laws. The arbitrators shall base their award on the terms of this Agreement,
and will follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District
Judge sitting in Suffolk County, New York would apply to the Dispute.
The arbitrators shall render their award in writing and will include the
findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which their award is based.
Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction. The existence or results of any negotiation, mediation or
arbitration will be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either party will have the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction
a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable
relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, although
the merits of the underlying Dispute will be resolved in accordance with
this paragraph.
