Arbitration Process
(a)Any and all disputes, controversies, claims and conflicts arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its performance, including disputes on its validity, conclusion, binding effect, breach, nature, amendment, expiration and termination, shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted under the Colorado Uniform Arbitration Act, C.R.S. § 13-22-201, et seq. with a single arbiter, and administered by Judicial Arbitrator Group, Inc., 1601 Blake St, Suite 400, Denver, CO 80202, Tel 303-572-1919, Fax 303-571-1115 ("JAG" ) in Denver, Colorado . If JAG is no longer in existence, then Totalscope Estimating Services, LLC shall nominate a replacement arbitrator group located in Denver, Colorado. The arbitrator shall use his reasonable efforts to schedule and complete the arbitration within 90 days after the arbitrator is selected, and may participate in any depositions.
(b)The arbitrator shall be selected from JAG’s panel of arbitrators, shall be impartial and independent, and shall be knowledgeable and experienced in the subject matter of the arbitration. The arbitral proceeding shall accord to each of the parties the right of cross-examination of witnesses, the right to provide witnesses including expert witnesses, and the right to make both written and oral submissions.
(c)The Users are bound, each to each other, by this arbitration clause. Each User agrees that he or she may be joined as an additional party to an arbitration involving any other party or parties under this Agreement. If more than one arbitration is begun under this Agreement and any party thereto contends that two or more arbitrations are substantially related and that the issues should be heard in one proceeding, the arbitrator(s) selected in the first-filed of such proceedings shall determine whether, in the interests justice and efficiency, the proceedings should be consolidate before that arbitrator.
(d)All costs of arbitration shall, unless the arbitral award provides otherwise, be shared equally by the parties. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute; provided, however, that the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs.
(e)No party shall be entitled to commence or maintain any action in a court of law upon any matter in dispute arising from or in relation to this Agreement except in connection with the recognition or enforcement of an arbitral award granted pursuant to this clause.
(f)Any arbitration proceeding under this Agreement must be commenced no later than one year after the controversy or claim arises. Failure timely to commence an arbitration proceeding is both an absolute bar to the commencement of arbitration proceedings with respect to the controversy or claim and a waiver of the controversy or claim.
(g)Any party is entitled to apply to the arbitrator seeking interim or provisional relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. The arbitrator has the authority to issue orders granting interim or provisional relief.
(h)Any party has the right to appeal the arbitrator’s award to an appellate arbitrator by filing with JAG, no later than 20 days after transmittal of the award, a written brief, not to exceed 20 pages, stating the reasons why the arbitrator’s decision should be reversed or modified. The opposing party shall file with JAG and serve on the appealing party, no later than 20 days after receiving the appeal brief, an opposition brief, not to exceed 20 pages. The JAG is to appoint the appellate arbitrator who is to be a retired judge of a court of record in the state of Colorado. The JAG is to make this appointment directly, without submission of lists of proposed arbitrators, and the party filing the appeal must pay all JAG costs and the costs and fees of the appellate arbitrator related thereto.
(i)Either party has the right to request oral argument, which must be conducted no later than 14 days after the submission of the final brief. The appellate arbitration is to be based only on the record of the initial hearing and oral argument, if any. The appellate arbitrator is to render a written decision no later than 20 days after receiving the final appellate submissions. The appellate arbitrator’s decision may be a final decision or it may affirm, reverse, modify or remand the matter for further proceedings by the arbitrator or arbitral panel. However, the reversal, modification or remand may only be on one of the following grounds:
