If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within sixty (60) days from the date you or BOUTIQUES-INTERNET.COM is notified by the other of a dispute, then either party may then initiate the arbitration process as provided in the following annex : (http://www.hammocks-of-americas.com/annex.html).
For greater certainty, no recourse may be made by either party to any court or tribunal, whether federal or provincial, in respect of any matter whatsoever relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, any Claim, any arbitration initiated to resolve a Claim, and any arbitration award made in relation to a Claim, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or by law. Any award rendered pursuant to the arbitration shall be final and binding on each of the parties and no appeal shall lie from such award. Such award may be rendered enforceable and executory by any court having jurisdiction over the person or the property of the person against whom enforcement of the award is sought.
NO CLAIM MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER LAWSUIT, OR IN AN ARBITRATION WITH A DISPUTE OF ANY OTHER PERSON, OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT IS ARBITRATED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRAL PROCEEDING FOR ANY REASON. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE BARRED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT AWARD EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ATTORNEYS' FEES. YOU AND BOUTIQUES-INTERNET.COM BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR AN AWARD OF DAMAGES THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
