10.3 Enforcement/Choice of Law/Choice of Forum. If any part of the Terms of Use is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of these Terms of Use, all of which will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be governed by, and will be interpreted according to the laws of the State of Minnesota, U.S.A., without regard to any conflict of laws provisions.

10.4 Dispute Resolution/Choice of forum. Any controversy, claim, or dispute of whatever nature arising between the parties (a "Dispute"), including, without limitation, a Dispute arising out of, or having to do with the Sites or this Agreement, shall be resolved by mediation or, failing mediation, by binding arbitration. This agreement to mediate or arbitrate shall continue in full force and effect despite the expiration, rescission, or termination of this agreement. Either party may begin the mediation process by giving a written notice to the other party setting forth the nature of the Dispute. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute by mediation within 60 days of receipt of that notice. If the Dispute has not been resolved by mediation as provided above, or if a party fails to participate in a mediation, then the Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The arbitration shall be undertaken pursuant to the substansive laws of the State of Minnesota and the Federal Arbitration Act, and the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be enforceable in any court of the competent jurisdiction. The parties knowingly and voluntarily waive their rights to have their dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge or jury. Any party may demand arbitration as provided above by sending written notice to the other party. The arbitration and the selection of the arbitrator(s) shall be conducted in accordance with such rules as may be agreed upon by the parties, or, failing agreement within 30 days after arbitration is demanded, under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as such rules may be modified by this agreement. In any Dispute which involves more than $1,000,000 in damages, three arbitrators shall be used. Unless the parties agree otherwise, they shall be limited in their discovery to directly relevant documents. The arbitrator(s) shall resolve any discovery disputes. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to award actual money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due), specific performance, and temporary injunctive relief, but the arbitrator(s) shall not have the authority to award exemplary or punitive damages, and the parties expressly waive any claimed right to receive money damages in excess of its actual compensatory damages. The costs of arbitration, but not the costs and expenses of the parties, shall be shared equally by the parties. If a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitration award, or fails to comply with the arbitration award, the other party is entitled to costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award. Except as otherwise required by law, the parties agree to maintain as confidential all information or documents obtained during the arbitration process, including the resolution of the Dispute. Not withstanding the above, the parties recognize that certain business relationships could give rise to the need for one or more of the parties to seek emergency, provisional or summary relief. Immediately following the issuance of any such relief , the parties agree to the stay of any judicial proceedings pending mediation or arbitration of all underlying Disputes. Any Disputes as to rights to injunctive relief or rights relating to intellectual property or confidentiality obligations will be venued in a state or federal court situated in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A., and you hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose.
