The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), https://www.adr.org/ pursuant to the then-current version of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court. The remedies and reliefs rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Unless Developer and Decart.ai agree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating the decision of each claim and the basis for any award, including the arbitrator’s essential factual and legal findings and conclusions. The parties will cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
