18.5 Assignment, Transfer and Delegation.             The rights granted under this Agreement are specific and personal to Customer and cannot be assigned or transferred to any other party without the prior written approval of Inilex (which may be granted by Inilex in its sole discretion). Inilex has the right to assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement to any party.

 

18.6  Waiver.  No failure or delay by Inilex in exercising any right, power or privilege in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement.

Any written notice from Customer required by this Agreement will be considered given when Inilex receives it at 4908 East McDowell Road, Suite 103, Phoenix, AZ 85008, with a copy sent registered mail to Daniel J. Laudicina, Hudson Cook, LLP, 7250 Parkway Drive, Fifth Floor, Handover, MD 21076-1343.  Any written notice from Inilex required by this Agreement will be considered given two days after Inilex mails it to Customer at the billing address Inilex has on file for Customer at the time.

18.8 Cumulative Remedies.  Each right and remedy of Inilex shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy in this Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law, or in equity, or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of exercise by a party of any one or more of the rights or remedies in this Agreement, as now or hereafter existing, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by a party of any or all other rights or remedies in this Agreement as now or hereafter existing at law, or in equity, or by statute or otherwise.

18.11 Force Majeure. Inilex shall not be liable to Customer for delays or failures to perform under this Agreement if the delay or failure is caused by shortage of labor, labor disputes, war, act of enemies, riots, insurrection, civil commotion, federal, state or municipal action, statute, ordinance, regulation, fire, flood, earthquake, accident, storm, explosions, acts of God, the inability to obtain essential materials or other resources, or other causes beyond Inilex's reasonable control.

 

19.      ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS

 

19.1  Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 19, a “Dispute” is any contract, tort, statutory or other claim or dispute between Inilex and Customer arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any resulting transaction or relationship (including any such relationship with third parties who do not sign this Agreement). “Dispute” includes any disagreement over the interpretation and scope of this Section 19, or the arbitrability of the Dispute.

 

19.2  Agreement to Arbitrate Upon Request.  Any Dispute shall, at Inilex’s or Customer’s request, be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court.  Arbitration will be by one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action.  Customer waives any right Customer may have to arbitrate a Dispute as a class action (this is referred to below as the “class action waiver”).  Arbitration will be conducted by and under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Ave., Floor 10, New York, NY 10017-4605 (www.adr.org), or any other arbitration organization Customer selects, subject to Inilex’s approval.  Customer may get the rules of the organization by contacting it or visiting its website.

 

19.3   Arbitrators and Location of Arbitration.  Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges selected under the applicable rules.  The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law in making an award.  The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in the federal district in which Customer resides, or at some other location convenient to Customer. 

 

19.4    Costs of Arbitration.  Inilex will pay Customer’s filing, administration, service or case management fee and Customer’s arbitrator or hearing fee all up to a maximum of $1,500.  Inilex will pay additional arbitration expenses to the extent that the arbitrator determines that Inilex must in order to ensure the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.  Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. 

 

19.5   Award and Right to Repeal.  The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties, except that if the arbitrator’s award for a party is $0 or against a party exceeds $100,000, or includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, that party may request a new arbitration hearing under the rules of the arbitration organization by a three-judge panel.  Unless prohibited by law, the appealing party requesting new arbitration shall be responsible for the filing fee and other arbitration costs, subject to a final determination by the arbitrators of a fair apportionment of the costs.  Any arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state arbitration law.

 

19.6   Additional Provisions.  Customer and Inilex retain the right to sue in small claims court for a Dispute within that court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court.  Neither Customer nor Inilex waive the right to arbitrate by filing suit.  Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award.  If any part of this Section 19, other than the class action waiver, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Section 19 is enforceable.  If the class action waiver is deemed or found to be unenforceable, then this entire Section 19 shall be unenforceable.

 

19.7   Right to Opt Out.  Customer may opt out of this Section 19 regarding arbitration by doing so in writing to as set forth in Section 18.7 of this Agreement (“Notices”), postmarked no later than 10 days from the date of this Agreement.
