You understand that this agreement to arbitrate also applies to all Disputes that the LOF and the LOF Affiliates may have with you. |

(“JAMS”), pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) in San Mateo, California by one or more arbitrators as described in the JAMS Rules. If there is a conflict between the Act and the JAMS Rules, then the JAMS Rules will take precedence. The arbitrator(s) will have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration prior to any arbitration hearing, will issue a written decision on the merits, will have the power to award any remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, available under applicable law, and will administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the JAMS Rules. Each party will pay their own arbitration costs pending the arbitrator’s decision. All Disputes must be commenced within one year after the Dispute arises. The decree or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered as a final and binding judgment in any court having jurisdiction. |
14.3 | FEES AND COST. The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party except as prohibited by law. |
