Dispute Resolution.
If a dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to thisAgreement or the alleged breach thereof, and if the dispute cannot be settled through negotiations within 30 days, the parties agree to endeavor first to settle the dispute by mediation before resorting to arbitration. The parties will select a mediator by their mutual agreement, within 30 days. The mediator must have a place of business within Yavapai County, Arizona. If there can be no such agreement, each party will submit a list of five mediator choices to the other, rank ordered by preference and each having a place of business within Yavapai County, Arizona. The mediator will then be selected based on a further discussion, unless an individual is on both lists and then that person would have preference. If the process does not result in the selection of the mediator, then the parties agree to let WomanSpeak select the mediator.
If the Mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days of the first mediation session or when the mediator declares an impasse, the parties agree that the dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before a single Arbitrator. The Arbitrator will be neutral. The arbitration will be held within Yavapai County, Arizona. The arbitrator may award the prevailing party costs and/or attorneys’ fees for the Arbitration, however, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. Any State’s law invalidating this paragraph shall not affect the validity of the first paragraph herein. The parties understand that arbitration is final and binding and that they are waiving their rights to other resolution processes (such as court action or administrative proceeding).
Severability.
Should any provision of this Agreement be or become invalid, void, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be considered separate and severable from the Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and be binding upon the parties as though such invalid, void, illegal, and unenforceable provision had not been included.

period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence.
