15. Controlling Law and Venue. Consultant agrees that the constructions, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of State of New York (without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction). EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OF PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. Arbitration under this Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) (“FAA”). Consultant and Company agree that any dispute or controversy, regardless of its date of accrual, covered by this Agreement or arising out of, relating to, or concerning the interpretation, construction, performance, validity, enforceability or breach of this Agreement, including any claim or dispute related to the Services, shall be settled solely and exclusively by binding individual arbitration in New York, New York administered by JAMS. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then prevailing JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures, with the following exceptions to such Rules and Procedure if there is a conflict: (i) one arbitrator shall be randomly chosen by JAMS; and (ii) arbitration may proceed in the absence of any party if written notice (under the JAMS’ rules and regulations) of the proceedings has been given to such party. Any issue or dispute concerning arbitrability of a particular issue or claim pursuant to this Agreement must be resolved by the arbitrator, not a court. Any issues or disputes concerning the validity or enforceability of the arbitration provisions of this Agreement and/or any of the waivers included therein must be decided by a court, and not by the arbitrator. The parties hereto agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings. Such decisions and awards rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive. All such controversies, claims or disputes shall be settled in this manner in lieu of any action at law or equity; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed as precluding the bringing an action to seek injunctive relief. Nothing in this Section shall be read or construed to create any employment relationship between the parties hereto. The parties hereto agree to arbitrate all claims covered by this Agreement on an individual basis only. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no claims may be brought or maintained on a class or collective basis in arbitration, notwithstanding the rules of the arbitral body. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties hereto expressly waive any right with respect to any covered claims to submit, initiate, or participate as a plaintiff, claimant or member in a class action or collective action, regardless of whether the action is filed in arbitration or in court. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to adjudicate any claim on class or collective basis and shall have no power or authority to award relief, restitution, damages, or any other remedy on a class or collective basis. Any issue concerning the validity of this class action, collective or representative action waiver, and whether an action may proceed as a class, collective or representative action must be decided by a court and an arbitrator shall not have authority to consider the issue of the validity of this waiver or whether the action may proceed as a class or collective action. If for any reason this waiver is found to be unenforceable, the arbitrator will have no power or authority to hear a class or collective action. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. IF FOR ANY REASON THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE BECOMES NOT APPLICABLE OR IF THE PARTIES ARE SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS PROVIDED FOR ABOVE, THEN EACH PARTY, SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE AND SOLE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK AND EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES NOT TO INSTITUTE ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER COURT IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND/OR VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN THE COURTS IDENTIFIED IN THIS SECTION.
