The arbitrator will not award attorneys' fees, or punitive, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, treble or other multiple or exemplary damages, and the Parties agree to waive and not seek these damages. Either Party may seek judicial relief to compel the other Party to comply with the provisions of this Section, or seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights, as long as (unless prohibited by applicable law) the remainder of the dispute or claim is submitted to arbitration. The arbitration will be held in Fayette County, Georgia.

Awards will be final, binding and non-appealable (except on the minimal grounds required under the Federal Arbitration Act or other applicable law).
