We may commence the arbitration by delivering a request for arbitration as specified in the Rules.

If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator within 30 days (the “Initial Period”) after either party to this Agreement delivers a request for arbitration, a neutral arbitrator will be selected as provided in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted exclusively in the English language at a site specified by SWS in the State of Georgia, U.S.A. The award of the arbitrator will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the arbitrator. The award of the arbitrators will require payment of the costs, fees, and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in any such arbitration by the non-prevailing party. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court or governmental body having jurisdiction thereof. Any additional costs, fees, or expenses incurred in enforcing the award may be charged against the party that resists its enforcement.

GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE - The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations, or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the State of Georgia, U.S.A. as such laws apply to contracts between Georgia residents performed entirely within Georgia without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. Subject to Section 15 (Disputes), each party will bring any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement exclusively in the Superior Court of Whitfield County, Georgia or the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Rome Division, and you irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any such courts in any such action or proceeding brought in such courts by SWS.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties. All waivers by SWS under this Agreement must be in writing or later acknowledged by SWS in writing. Any waiver or failure by SWS to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver by SWS of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with the law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. The prevailing party in any lawsuit or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement will be entitled to receive its costs, expert witness fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees including costs and fees on appeal. Any assignment of this Agreement by you will be null and void. SWS may assign this Agreement to any party that assumes SWS’s obligations hereunder. The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees, or employers of the other or joint venturers, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other.

  7. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION - SWS may terminate this agreement for convenience upon thirty (30) days’ notice to you; you will still be required to pay for all Services rendered until the date of termination.

In the case of termination for default, the initial default notice may specify the date on which termination will occur if the default is not cured, in which case no further notice will be required. We may disable or suspend the availability of any or all Services at any time when you are in breach of this Agreement until such breach is cured; you shall not be relieved of your obligation to make the monthly payments accruing during any period when Services are suspended due to your breach. All rights of the parties accrued prior to termination, including our right to payment, shall survive termination of this Addendum. In addition, any section of this addendum which, by its nature, should survive expiration or termination of this Agreement shall survive such expiration or termination.
