7. Arbitration of Disputes: If there is any dispute arising out of this Agreement, including a dispute about the validity, operation, meaning or breach hereof, the dispute between the parties (the “Dispute”) shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration, which shall constitute the sole dispute resolution mechanism hereunder and you irrevocably waive any rights to seek other relief at law or equity. The arbitration shall be controlled by the terms of this agreement, on an individual and not class basis only, and any award favorable to you shall be limited to the fixing of compensation for Company’s use of the Submitted Material, which shall bear a reasonable relation to compensation normally paid to persons of your present stature and experience for Company’s use of similar material. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to either the JAMS Streamlined (for claims under $250,000) or the JAMS Comprehensive (for claims over $250,000) Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein, including the Optional Appeal Procedure, at the Atlanta office of JAMS, or its successor (“JAMS”) in effect at the time the request for arbitration is made (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall follow Georgia law and the Federal Rules of Evidence in adjudicating the Dispute. The parties waive the right to seek punitive damages and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award such damages. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm, correct or vacate the award. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the neutral arbitrator and the members of any appeal panel shall be former or retired judges or justices of any Georgia state or federal court with experience in matters involving the entertainment industry. If either party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of such award being rendered, then the other party may enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction in Atlanta, Georgia. The party seeking enforcement of any arbitration award shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing the award, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you understand that you are waiving a right to a trial, to seek an injunction or to any other relief other than as expressly provided for in this section.
