Severability: If any provision of the Contracts, Agreements, or General Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Contracts, Agreements, or General Terms and Conditions shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances.

Binding Arbitration: As the exclusive means of resolving through adversarial dispute resolution any disputes arising out of agreements or with regard to GERC’s services, a party must demand that any such dispute be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR) in accordance with its CPR Administered Arbitration Rules, and each party hereby consents to any such disputes being so resolved. Judgment on the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. All arbitration proceedings shall take place in the state of California, Los Angeles county. Arbitrator fees shall be completely borne by the party initiating the Arbitration process. The Arbitrator’s travel expenses shall be completely borne by the party initiating the Arbitration process. Cost of arbitration location shall be completely borne by the party initiating the Arbitration process. Arbitration location will be conducted in a neutral location in Los Angeles county that is mutually agreeable to both parties.

The arbitration shall be confidential and all material disclosed therein shall be returned to the disclosing party or destroyed at the conclusion of the arbitration. Client(s) understands that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, client(s) would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. Client further understands that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
