| 14. | Arbitration of Disputes. The Company and I mutually consent to the resolution by arbitration, under the applicable rules of JAMS (which are available at jamsadr.com, or from the Company upon my request), of all claims (common law or statutory) that the Company might have against me, or that I may have against the Company, its affiliated companies, the directors, employees or agents of any such company, and all successors and assigns of any of them. The Company and I waive the right to have a court or jury trial on any arbitrable claim. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern this arbitration agreement, or if for any reason the FAA does not apply, the arbitration law of the state in which I rendered services to the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of the JAMS Rules, arbitration shall occur on an individual basis only, and a court of competent jurisdiction (and not an arbitrator) shall resolve any dispute about the formation, validity, or enforceability of any provision of this arbitration agreement. I waive the right to initiate, participate in, or recover through, any class or collective action. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall award the prevailing party its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees; provided, however, that the arbitrator at all times shall apply the law for the shifting of costs and fees that a court would apply to the claim(s) asserted. Nothing in this arbitration agreement prevents me from filing or recovering pursuant to a complaint, charge, or other communication with any federal, state or local governmental or law enforcement agency. This arbitration agreement shall remain in effect notwithstanding the termination of my association with the Company.
