If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation within a reasonable time after written notice from one party to the other that a Dispute exists, the Dispute will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current CPR Rules for NonAdministered Arbitration. The Arbitration will be conducted before three (3) independent and impartial arbitrators. ICI will appoint one (1) arbitrator and the other party or parties will appoint one (1) arbitrator. The two (2) appointed arbitrators will then select a third arbitrator, who shall be the presiding arbitrator. The arbitration hearing shall take place in Ann Arbor, Michigan and will be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws. The arbitrators shall base their award on the terms of this Agreement, and will follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District Judge sitting in the Eastern District of Michigan would apply to the Dispute. The arbitrators shall render their award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which their award is based. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The existence or results of any negotiation, mediation or arbitration will be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party will have the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, although the merits of the underlying Dispute will be resolved in accordance with this paragraph.
  14. Independent Contractors. No provision of this Agreement will or shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or other combination between ICI and you. You and ICI are independent contractors. Neither party will make any warranties or representations or assume any obligations on the other party's behalf. Neither party is nor will claim to be a legal representative, partner, franchisee, agent or employee of the other party. Each party is responsible for the amounts it incurs arising from this Agreement and for the direction and compensation, and is liable for the actions of, its employees and subcontractors.
  15. Governing Law. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SALES THERE UNDER, OR ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, AND EQUITABLE </strong><strong>CLAIMS) BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND ICI arising from or relating to this agreement, its interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from this agreement, ICI's advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES.
