7.2 Invoicing. We will invoice you for the Fees in the currency set forth on the applicable Authorization Form. Unless otherwise stated on the Authorization Form, all undisputed invoices are payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Any disputed amounts will not affect payment of non-disputed amounts. You will make payments to the entity and address set forth in the invoice.

In the event that the recipient or any representative of the recipient becomes legally compelled (by law, rule, regulation, subpoena, or similar court process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the recipient will (if permitted to do so) provide the discloser with notice of such circumstances and will limit such disclosure to the required disclosure.

(b) If you breach this Agreement or violate our rights or another person’s and/or organization’s rights, in addition to any other remedy, we may ask a court for an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you will reimburse us for our reasonable legal fees associated therewith.
(c) If you have any kind of Dispute with us, the exclusive means of resolving it will be by confidential, binding arbitration before a single arbitrator chosen by you and TeejLab. You will give notice of your Dispute to us in writing. If we do not decide together on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after we receive that notice, we both agree to ask the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (BCICAC) to appoint one for us. The arbitration will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, under the Arbitration Act (British Columbia), and will follow the Domestic Commercial Arbitration Rules of the BCICAC. The arbitrator will have the right to decide how the costs should be divided between us. The arbitrator will have the right to accept whatever kind of evidence they think is appropriate and will have the right to make whatever award they consider fair and equitable, based on legal and equitable principles, including giving an order such as an injunction (to stop one of us from doing something) or an order that you or we pay damages to the other. The arbitrator’s award can be entered into the registry of the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver, British Columbia, and enforced in the same way as a court order if the court in the enforcing jurisdiction allows.
(d) Any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. TeejLab and you each waive any right to a trial by jury.
