9. Dispute Resolution
a. Non-Binding Mediation. Disputes between the parties that arise out of or relate to Consumer Agreement and cannot be resolved through good faith negotiation or non-binding mediation will be resolved, as a last resort only, by arbitration as provided in this Section. All negotiations pursuant to this clause shall be treated as confidential and as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence.
b. Binding Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute by negotiation or mediation under this Section within ninety (90) days of the initiation of such procedures, they agree to submit such dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Roll Forward and Consumer shall mutually agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable to select an arbitrator within five business days, the parties consent to the selection of an arbitrator by the AAA Administrator. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, arbitration will take place at a location within the jurisdiction set forth in Section 15 selected by the party not initiating the arbitration. The arbitrator shall use his or her best efforts to resolve the dispute in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas, or if applicable, the United States, within three (3) months of his or her appointment. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and shall include reasoning in support of the award. The resolution of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
