ENFORCEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Terms and Conditions are governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States of America, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law.
All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions shall be finally resolved by arbitration conducted in the English language in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties shall appoint as sole arbitrator a retired judge who presided in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The parties shall bear equally the cost of the arbitration (except that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such an amount as may be determined by the arbitrator). All decisions of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this, application may be made to any court for a judicial acceptance of the award or order of enforcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NorthStar shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, security, or other equitable remedies from the United States District Court for Philadelphia or any other court of competent jurisdiction.
If any part of these terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. NorthStar may, at its sole discretion and without notice, revise these terms at any time by updating this posting.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
