The arbitrator's decision will be binding and final.

Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator's decision.

    SMALL CLAIMS EXCEPTION

    Despite the provisions set forth above, you have the right to litigate any DISPUTE in small claims court or other similar court of limited jurisdiction, to the extent the amount at issue does not exceed ,000, and as long as such court has proper jurisdiction and all other requirements (including amount in controversy) are satisfied.

Should such a situation arise, you will still be bound by the DISPUTE procedures you previously agreed to and existing before the change you rejected was made.

    MISCELLANEOUS

The parties agree that the judgment, decree or order rendered by a court of last resort or a court of lower jurisdiction from which no appeal has been taken in Tokyo, Japan shall be final and binding upon both parties.

    EQUITABLE REMEDIES
