Witnesses and the parties shall submit to examination under oath, but the rules of evidence shall be relaxed. If the parties cannot agree to the exchange of information between them, the arbitrator shall decide any such issue in advance of the hearing. An adverse inference may be drawn from the failure to exchange information in good faith. After an arbitral award has issued and is outstanding for 45 days without being satisfied, the prevailing party may seek enforcement in federal or state court as appropriate. Both parties waive service of process for any enforcement proceeding that has been arbitrated and which results in an award. Each party shall compensate his own attorneys, agents or representatives.
 
Foreign Dispute: Where one of the parties is not a U.S. person, the dispute will be resolved pursuant to binding arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce. The appointing authority will be the American Arbitration Association, who may only appoint an arbitrator with prior ICC experience unless the parties agree otherwise.

Witnesses and the parties shall submit to examination under oath, but the rules of evidence shall be relaxed. If the parties cannot agree to the exchange of information between them, the arbitrator shall decide any such issue in advance of the hearing. An adverse inference may be drawn from the failure to exchange information in good faith. After an arbitral award has issued and is outstanding for 60 days without being satisfied, the prevailing party may seek enforcement in federal or state court as appropriate. Both parties waive service of process or any similar required procedural step for any enforcement proceeding that has been arbitrated and which results in an award.
