Each of the Parties confirms that damages at law may not be an adequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of any provisions hereof and that the breach of any portion of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the non-breaching Party which may be difficult to ascertain. The respective rights and obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction or other equitable remedy, but nothing herein contained is intended to nor shall it limit or affect any rights at law or by statute or otherwise of any Party aggrieved as against the other Party for a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof.

 

5.07. Dispute Resolution. Any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any action or claim based on tort, contract, or statute (including any claims of breach), or concerning the interpretation, effect, termination, validity, performance and/or breach of this Agreement (the “Dispute Claim”), shall be resolved by arbitration (the “Arbitration”) before three arbitrators (the “Arbitrators”) selected from and administered by JAMS or its successor (the “Administrator”) in accordance with JAMS International Arbitration Rules regarding commercial or business disputes. The arbitration shall be held in Florida. The Arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the Arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall NOT be authorized (i) to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, pain and suffering or loss of consortium, (ii) to award consequential, incidental, exemplary, indirect, special or punitive damages, including any loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity, except to the extent any such damages are required to be paid pursuant to a third party claim determined by final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement. The Arbitrators also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief he or she deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. Each party shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrators; provided, however, the Arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorney fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrators. Each party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of the service of the award. By agreeing to this arbitration provision, the Parties understand that they may be waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a Claim between the parties were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this Section 5.07, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party, at its option, may commence a court proceeding to seek a provisional remedy, such as a restraining order, attachment, injunction or similar non-monetary remedy. The prevailing party in such court proceeding shall be entitled to reimbursement for its reasonable attorney fees and all costs relating to such proceeding.
