17. Arbitration of Disputes
You agree that any controversy, claim or dispute between you and Dealer, which cannot be resolved through negotiations between us shall be finally settled by arbitration as provided herein. If we fail to reach a settlement of their dispute within thirty (30) days after the earliest date upon which one of us notifies the other(s) in writing of the existence of and its desire to attempt to resolve the dispute, then the dispute shall be promptly submitted to arbitration by a single arbitrator through the Judicial Arbiter Group of Denver, Colorado, any successor of the Judicial Arbiter Group, or any similar arbitration provider who can provide a former judge to conduct the arbitration if the Judicial Arbiter Group is no longer in existence ("JAG"). The arbitrator shall be selected by JAG, if possible, on the basis of his or her expertise in the subject matter(s) of the dispute. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, nonappealable and binding upon the parties, and it may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that any party to the arbitration proceeding may seek a court order vacating the decision of the arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of and on the grounds set forth in C.R.S. § 13-22-214 and/or a modification or correction of the arbitrator's award in accordance with the provisions of C.R.S. §§ 13-22-211 or 13-22-215, and may take an appeal from court orders related to the arbitration proceeding or award as provided in C.R.S. § 13-22-221.
The arbitration shall take place in Boulder, Colorado. The arbitrator shall be bound by the laws of the State of Colorado applicable to the issues involved in the arbitration and all Colorado rules relating to the admissibility of evidence, including, without limitation, all relevant privileges and the attorney work product doctrine. Discovery shall be permitted and shall be completed in accordance with the time limitations prescribed in the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, unless extensions of such time limitations are approved by all parties to the arbitration or are ordered by the arbitrator on the basis of strict necessity adequately demonstrated by the party requesting an extension of time. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant equitable relief where available under Colorado law, and shall be entitled to make an award of punitive damages where such an award is permitted by Colorado law. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion setting forth his or her decision and the reasons therefore within thirty (30) days after the arbitration proceeding is concluded.
The obligation of the parties to submit any dispute to arbitration as provided in this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of any agreement or contract between the parties.
In the event of any arbitration or litigation being filed or instituted between the parties, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive from the other party or parties its attorneys' fees, witness fees, costs and expenses, court costs and other reasonable expenses, whether or not such controversy, claim or action is prosecuted to judgment or other forms of relief. The "prevailing party" is that party which is awarded judgment or other legal or equitable relief as a result of trial or arbitration, or who receives a payment of money from the other party in settlement of claims asserted by such party. If both parties receive a judgment, settlement payment or other award or relief, the court or the arbitrator shall determine which party is the prevailing party, taking into consideration the merits of the claims asserted by each party, the relative values of the judgments, settlements or other forms of relief received by each party, and the relative equities between the parties.
