Disputes. thrv and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com), or its successor, for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for non-binding arbitration as set forth herein.

All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first (“Earliest Initiation Date”). The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date shall either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules or by agreement of the parties. However, this limitation is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to comply with the requirements herein.

The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.
- Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with any SOW, is the sole agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and it supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to said subject matter.

Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be interpreted without regard to which party drafted this Agreement. This Agreement may only be amended by a written amendment signed by both parties. Any required notice shall be given by electronic mail to the email address below, or by overnight courier service or U.S. mail. Notices will be deemed to have been given at the time of actual delivery in person, confirmed receipt if by electronic mail, or 1 business day after delivery to an overnight courier service. Waiver of any term of this Agreement or delay in enforcing any term by either party shall not constitute a waiver as to any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or a waiver of any other term of this Agreement. Any provision found to be unlawful, unenforceable or void shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, and the Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision. A business day means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, bank holiday, the Friday after a bank holiday that falls on a Thursday, or the Monday before a bank holiday that falls on a Tuesday or, unless thrv has ceased operations, any other day on which thrv’s offices are closed.
