Governing Law. The parties hereby
agree to submit any disputes regarding this Agreement exclusively to binding
arbitration by the Judicial Arbiter Group of Denver, Colorado. This Section shall not operate to limit
either party’s right to enforce, to the extent necessary, a Judicial Arbiter
Group judgment in a court of law or Company’s right to seek appropriate
injunctive relief. USER UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALL
ARBITRABLE DISPUTES MEANS THAT USER IS AGREEING TO WAIVE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT THE SALES REP MAY HAVE TO ASK FOR A JURY IN ANY
DISPUTE WITH COMPANY. In the event

reimbursement of all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys
