The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. If the parties cannot reach an agreement within sixty (60) days from the receipt of the Notice, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form to initiate arbitration proceedings is available on the American Arbitration Association (AAA) site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send such copy to Soul of India, Inc. 925 N. La Brea Ave., 4th Floor, West Hollywood, CA 90038, and Soul of India will send such copy to the current billing address on your account or sales invoice.
Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the AAA. As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by then then current rules of the AAA for commercial arbitration, and if the arbitrator deems applicable, the procedures for consumer-related disputes. The AAA rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

YOU AND COMPANY BOTH WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE.
THE MAKING OF CLAIMS OR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

(6) IN THE EVENT THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION WILL BE PROHIBITIVE AS COMPARED TO COSTS OF LITIGATION, WE WILL PAY AS MUCH OF YOUR FILING AND HEARING FEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARBITRATION AS THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ARBITRATION FROM BEING COST-PROHIBITIVE AS COMPARED TO THE COST OF LITIGATION.
