This Agreement and performance hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, exclusive of conflict of law rules.

All arbitration proceedings shall take place in New York County, NY. The arbitrator must be an individual with experience in information systems similar to the system and services provided by SS hereunder. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies and award compensatory damages, but not punitive damages, as provided for by New York law; subject to the limitations of liability in Section 6 hereof.

The arbitrator shall not have the power to make an Award that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or New York substantive law. Judgment on an arbitral award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such a court for judicial acceptance of the award and an appropriate order including enforcement.

The arbitration proceedings contemplated by this Section shall be as confidential and private as permitted by law. To that end, the parties shall not disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration proceedings conducted in accordance with this provision, and materials prepared or submitted in connection with such proceedings shall not be admissible in any other proceeding, provided, however, that this confidentiality provision shall not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitral award, and shall not bar disclosures required by law. Each party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief against the other party (in addition to any other rights available under this Agreement or at law) for any breaches of its obligations under this Agreement (without the necessity of posting a bond). SS shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by anything or event beyond its control such as, but not limited to, acts of God, labor disputes, natural disasters or the actions of a third party.
