The parties agree to use the alternative dispute resolution procedure set forth herein as the sole means of resolving any disputes arising out of this TERMS OF USE and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this TERMS OF USE promptly and initially between the parties by negotiation. If a dispute is not resolved by negotiation, the parties agree to participate in at least four (4) hours of mediation in accordance with the mediation procedures established by the mediation services provider chosen by the parties in Westchester County, New York. The parties agree that their participation in mediation is a condition precedent to any party pursuing any other available remedy in relation to the dispute. Any party to the dispute may give written Notice to the other parties of their desire to commence mediation and a mediation session must take place within thirty (30) days after the date such Notice is given. In the event the dispute is not resolved by mediation, the parties agree to arbitrate the dispute in accordance with the rules, processes and procedures of the American Arbitration Association office located in Westchester County, New York and if there is none, such other mutually agreeable arbitration service located in Westchester County, New York. In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitrator’s award or fails to comply with the arbitrator’s award the other parties are entitled to costs of suit, including reasonable attorney’s fees for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award.
