Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules
(the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute

Arbitration Location and
Procedure. Unless Member and R52 otherwise agree, the arbitration will
be conducted in the county where R52 deems. If Members claim does not
exceed US$10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the
basis of documents Member and R52 submit to the arbitrator, unless
Member request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is
necessary. If Member claim exceeds US$10,000, Member right to a hearing
will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the
arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of
information by the parties.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator
will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules.

conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the
arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent, to the
extent permitted by law, with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability”
section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a
party may be held liable.
Fees. Member responsibility to pay any
AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set

the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration.
