Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may seek equitable or injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. The statute(s) of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall be tolled upon initiation of the Dispute resolution procedures under this Section 12 and shall remain tolled until the Dispute is resolved under this Section 12. However, tolling shall cease if the aggrieved party does not file a demand for arbitration of the Dispute with JAMS within 30 days after good faith negotiations have been terminated by either party. The parties, their representatives and participants and the arbitrator shall hold the content and result of the arbitration in confidence, except to the limited extent necessary to enforce a final settlement agreement or to obtain or enforce a judgment on an arbitration decision and award.

13. Waivers. The failure by any party hereto to insist upon or to enforce any of its rights will not constitute a waiver thereof, and nothing will constitute a waiver of such party’s right to insist upon strict compliance with the provisions hereof. No delay in exercising any right, power or remedy created hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any such party preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver by any party hereto to any breach of or default in any term or condition of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of or assent to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or condition hereof. Each party hereto may waive the benefit of any provision or condition for its benefit contained in this Agreement, but only if such waiver is evidenced by a writing signed by such party.
14. Invalid Provisions. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
15. Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including in pdf or electronic format, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
