Any Dispute will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16. The disputing party shall give the other party written notice of the Dispute in accordance with the notice provision of these Terms. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve each controversy or claim within thirty (30) days, or such other longer period as the parties may mutually agree, following the delivery of such notice, by negotiations between designated representatives of the parties who have dispute resolution authority. 16.3 Arbitration of Non-US Disputes. If a Dispute that arose anywhere other than in the United States or is based upon an alleged breach committed anywhere other than in the United States cannot be settled under the procedures and within the timeframe set forth in Section 16.2, it will be conclusively determined upon request of either party by a final and binding arbitration proceeding to be held in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by a single arbitrator appointed by the parties or (failing agreement) by an arbitrator appointed by the President of the International Chamber of Commerce (from time to time), except that if the aggregate claims, cross claims and counterclaims by any one party against the other party exceed One Million US Dollars at the time all claims, including cross claims and counterclaims are filed, the proceeding will be held in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by a panel of three arbitrator(s) appointed in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, at a location agreed by the parties or (failing agreement) ordered by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) will have authority only to award compensatory damages within the scope of the limitations of Section 9 and will not award punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to limit, expand or otherwise modify the terms of these Terms. The ruling by the arbitrator(s)) will be final and binding on the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties or any of their assets. The parties will evenly split the cost of the arbitrator(s)’ fees, but Company and Customer will each bear its own attorneys' fees and other costs associated with the arbitration. The parties, their representatives, other participants and the arbitrator(s) will hold the existence, content and results of the arbitration in strict confidence to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any disclosure of the existence, content and results of the arbitration will be as limited and narrowed as required to comply with the applicable law. By way of illustration, if the applicable law mandates the disclosure of the monetary amount of an arbitration award only, the underlying opinion or rationale for that award may not be disclosed. 16.4 Choice of Forum for US Disputes. If a Dispute by one party against the other that arose in the United States or is based upon an alleged breach committed in the United States cannot be settled under the procedures and within the timeframe set forth in Section 16.2, then either party may bring an action or proceeding solely in either the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Except as otherwise stated in Section 16.3 each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts, including their appellate courts, for the purpose of all actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms. 16.5 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in these Terms will be construed to preclude either party from seeking provisional remedies, including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its rights, including its rights pending arbitration, at any time. The parties agree that the arbitration provision in Section 16.3 may be enforced by injunction or other equitable order, and no bond or security of any kind will be required with respect to any such injunction or order. 16.6 Time Limit. Actions on Disputes between the parties must be brought in accordance with this Section within two (2) years after the cause of action arises.
