To the extent permitted by the applicable law, in the event of any Losses, dispute, Claim, action or controversy that arises out of, or in connection with the Sites or these Terms (the “Dispute”), the parties (being the Corporation and You) agree to the following dispute resolution process:  the party asserting the Dispute shall first try and settle the dispute through good faith negotiations with the other party by first providing notice to the other party by registered mail detailing the facts and any dollar value assigned to the Dispute (the “Notice of Dispute”).  The party receiving the Notice of Dispute will then have 30 days in which to respond or settle the dispute.  The Notice of Dispute shall be sent to: 

 

(1) to the Corporation’s solicitors, Bryan & Company LLP, at 10180 101 Street Northwest, 2900 Manulife Place, Edmonton, AB T5J 3V5; or 

(2) to You at: Your last-used billing address used in relation to the Sites. 

 

All information exchanged during this dispute resolution process or any subsequent dispute resolution process, shall be regarded as “without prejudice” communications for the purpose of settlement negotiations and shall be treated as confidential by the parties and their representatives, unless otherwise required by applicable law. However, evidence that is independently admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable by virtue of its use during the dispute resolution process. 

 

If the Dispute cannot be settled to the satisfaction of both parties within 30 days after the Dispute Notice is received, then the following arbitration process will apply. 

 

The Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act (Alberta), which shall be triggered upon written notice by any party to the others based upon the following: 

 

      • the arbitration tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement of the parties, or in the event of failure to agree within ten (10) days following delivery of the written notice to arbitrate, any party may apply to a judge of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta to appoint an arbitrator.  The arbitrator selected by the parties, or appointed pursuant to this section must be qualified by education and training and have such technical expertise, if any, as may be necessary or appropriate having regard to the matter in dispute; 

 

      • the parties consent to the arbitration being conducted in Edmonton, Alberta; 

 

      • where reasonably practicable, the parties shall endeavor to have the arbitrator convene a hearing within 30 days of being selected or appointed (at which hearing the parties shall present such evidence and witnesses as they may choose, with or without counsel), and to complete the arbitration and render an award within 60 days of such selection or appointment, unless the parties have agreed in writing to different time periods; 

 

      • the arbitrator shall be mandated to conduct the arbitration in a cost effective manner and on an expedited basis, so far as the subject matter of the dispute and a proper hearing and resolution will permit; 

 

      • each party shall be responsible for its own costs incurred in conducting the arbitration, with the costs associated with the arbitrator and other costs of the arbitration shared equally between Owner and Contractor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to allocate all or any of the foregoing costs in a different manner; 

 

      • except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any decision by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties, may be filed in any court of competent jurisdiction, and may be enforced by either party as a final judgment of such court as permitted by the governing law in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought; 

 

      • all Disputes referred to arbitration (including without limitation any statute of limitations, conflict of laws rules, tort claims and interest claims) shall be governed by the substantive law of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein; 

 

      • the parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitrator, the parties, their counsel, and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise; and 

 

      • if a separate Dispute subject to arbitration under this section arises and is pending concurrently with a related Dispute which is subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the consolidation of such arbitration proceedings before one arbitrator if such consolidation of proceedings is feasible. 

 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, both You and the Corporation agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party.
