Proceedings in arbitration shall begin no later than 45 days after the filing of the Dispute with JAMS and shall be scheduled to conclude no later than 180 days after the filing of the Dispute (including delivery of the written judgment under clause (f) below). All hearings, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, shall be held in Phoenix, AZ.


(c) Mobivity and Client may obtain and take discovery, including requests for production, interrogatories, requests for admissions and depositions, as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; provided that the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, set parameters on the timing and/or completion of this discovery and may order additional pre-hearing exchange of information, including, without limitation, exchange of summaries of testimony or exchange of statements of positions.


(d) The arbitration proceedings and all testimony, filings, documents and information relating to or presented during the arbitration proceedings shall be disclosed exclusively for the purpose of facilitating the arbitration process and for no other purpose.


(e) The award of the arbitrator shall be made in a written opinion containing a concise reasoned analysis of the basis upon which the award was made.


(f) A judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.


(g) The Parties shall share equally the fees and costs of JAMS and the arbitrator. The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the adverse Party its actual reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration and the enforcement thereof.


(h) Either Party may apply to any state or federal court located in Maricopa County, Arizona to: (i) enforce this agreement to arbitrate; (ii) seek provisional injunctive relief so as to maintain the status quo until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved; (iii) avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period; (iv) preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors; or (v) challenge or vacate any final judgment, award or decision of the arbitrator that does not comport with the express provisions of Section 15.3. Each Party agrees to submit itself to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes of any such action. The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the adverse Party its actual reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with any such proceeding.


(i) The arbitrator is only authorized to, and only has the consent of the parties to, interpret and apply the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the governing law. The arbitrator is not authorized to, and shall not, order any remedy not permitted by this Agreement and shall not change any term or condition of this Agreement, deprive either Party of any remedy expressly provided hereunder or provide any right or remedy that has not been expressly provided hereunder. In the event that the arbitrator exceeds his or her authority under this Agreement and violates this provision, either Party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to vacate the arbitration award on the grounds that the arbitrator exceeded his or her authority.


(j) The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 through 14 (as amended and including any successor provision), except as modified hereby, shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 15.3.


  15.4 Assignment. Client may not assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without Mobivity’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and any purported attempt to do so shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement binds the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the respective Parties with respect to all covenants in this Agreement.


  15.5 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision(s), which being valid, legal and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the Parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s).


  15.6 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence. Such excusable delays or failures may be caused by, among other things, riots, rebellions, accidental explosions, floods, storms, acts of nature, terrorism, and similar occurrences. The Party claiming such force majeure condition shall notify the other Party in writing as promptly as practicable after such Party becomes aware of the occurrence of such force majeure condition. If there is any such delay, then the periods for the completion of the Parties’ obligations hereunder shall be automatically extended by the period of such delay. In every case the Party claiming excusable delay shall exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the extent of such delay or failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client may terminate this Agreement in the event that Mobivity is unable to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement because of such excusable delays which continues in effect for ninety (90) consecutive days.


  15.7 Governing Law. The validity of this Agreement, the construction and enforcement of its terms, and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the Parties shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.


  15.9 Mobivity Services Agreement. These Terms are incorporated by reference into each Mobivity Services Agreement. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and a Mobivity Services Agreement, these Terms shall prevail unless such Mobivity Services Agreement expressly states that it is intended to prevail over these Terms.


  15.10 Waivers. All waivers under this Agreement shall be in writing. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time for any period any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision. No waiver of any right under any provision of this Agreement on any occasion shall be deemed a waiver of any other right or under any other provision or on any other occasion.


  15.11 Counterparts. A Mobivity Services Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic means and in counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


  15.12 Notices.
