If a resolution cannot be found, the issue shall be referred to a mediator agreed upon by both of us. If we cannot agree on the identity of a mediator, or should mediation fail to bring about a resolution to the dispute, such dispute shall then be transferred to a single arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement between us, or, in default of agreement, such arbitrator shall be appointed by a Judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice upon the application of any of the Parties. The arbitration shall be held in Regional Municipality of Durham, Ontario, and conducted in English.  The arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario) and these Terms and Conditions.

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator may apportion costs of the arbitration, including the reasonable legal fees and disbursements, between us in such manner as the arbitrator considers reasonable. The arbitration will be kept confidential and the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any proposals, pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions and any awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitrator, you and I, our respective counsel, and any expert person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, as may be reasonably necessary for the enforcement of the arbitration award, or as permitted by these Terms and Conditions.
