All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

c) Binding Arbitration: The parties further agree that any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or breach thereof, may be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) 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 thereof. The decision to arbitrate or not shall be the sole and exclusive decision of Ward’s Boards . If Ward’s Boards demands Arbitration, the customer is required to participate in Arbitration as the exclusive venue to resolve the dispute. The place of arbitration shall be Maine and the arbitration will be conducted in the English language. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maine. The arbitration will be based on the submission of documents and there shall be no in-person or oral hearing. The AAA Arbitration Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection are also incorporated by the Parties. The award of the arbitrators shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any binding arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.
