Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Any claim or cause of action by Customer against WorkJam must be filed by Customer within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

 

12.8       Dispute Resolution.  Initially, in the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, Customer and WorkJam will attempt to resolve the dispute.  If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within five (5) business days, or as otherwise mutually agreed, either party will have the right to submit the dispute to the parties’ senior leadership team representatives.  In the event the senior leadership representatives cannot resolve the dispute within 60 days from their first meeting, then the parties agree that the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction as provided herein. The venue for such arbitration shall be the State of New York.  The provisions of this Subsection 12.8 will not apply to any dispute relating to the parties’ obligations of non-disclosure and confidentiality, nor to any unauthorized use of a party’s intellectual property.

 

12.9       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.

 

12.10    Publicity.  WorkJam may on one or more occasions reference Customer in advertisements, brochures, customer lists, presentations, financial reports or other marketing, promotional or related materials. In addition, upon Customer’s approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, WorkJam may issue a press release (or similar public announcement or communication) publicizing the relationship between WorkJam and Customer created by this Agreement.
