To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, or invalidity hereof shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (which rules are deemed incorporated herein) before a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules. The seat of arbitration shall be London, England and the language of the arbitration shall be English.
22.3 Restrictions. The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually.
