In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Content, or the Websites (hereafter referred to as “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).
Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party.

All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator in the state of Michigan, selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules www.adr.org and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules,or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States in the state of Michigan.

The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration.
