Dispute resolution process
Dispute Resolution. (i) Any dispute referenced in the last sentence of Section 23, that might arise between Supplier and Buyer relating to or arising from the PO or the terms and conditions thereof shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), except where those rules conflict with this provision, in which case this provision controls. Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected from the AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators. The arbitration shall be held, and Supplier and Buyer irrevocably consent to arbitrate, in New York, New York unless they mutually agree upon an alternative location. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. In rendering the award the arbitrator must apply the substantive law of New York (except where that law conflicts with this clause), except that the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator award damages in excess of or inconsistent with the limitations contained in the "Limitation of Liability" section of these terms and conditions. Any court with jurisdiction shall enforce this clause and enter judgment on any award. Supplier and Buyer will agree upon, within 45 days after arbitration is initiated or, if they fail to agree, the AAA will design, procedures that they will follow to assure that the arbitration will be concluded and the award rendered within no more than eight months from selection of the arbitrator. Supplier and Buyer each have the right before or during the mediation or arbitration, if the arbitrator cannot hear the matter within an acceptable period, to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc., to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.
