b) Dispute Resolution. With respect to any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Services, these Terms, or the Privacy Policy, you and ACMI agree to negotiate in good faith and undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another in order to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution. If you and ACMI do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in New York City, New York. You and ACMI explicitly disclaim any applicability of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods to this Agreement. All arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English., Such arbitration will have one (1) neutral arbitrator if the amount in controversy is less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) or otherwise before a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators. Each of the arbitrators must be (i) a lawyer licensed to practice law in New York with a minimum of fifteen (15) years of legal practice or senior level business experience or a retired judge with a minimum of five (5) years of service on the bench, (ii) an individual with at least five (5) years of experience as an arbitrator, and (iii) on the roster of neutrals of AAA or similar nationally-recognized ADR organization. If the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before a panel of three neutral arbitrators, the panel shall be selected using the following process: Within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of arbitration, you and ACMI shall each select one person meeting the specified qualifications to act as neutral arbitrator, and the two thus selected shall select a third neutral arbitrator meeting the specified qualifications within fifteen (15) days of their appointment. The third neutral arbitrator shall act as the chair of the arbitration panel. If the arbitrators selected by you and ACMI are unable to or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by AAA. Notwithstanding this arbitration provision, ACMI may seek emergency, temporary, or preliminary injunctive relief from a competent court of law or equity pending the final ruling of the arbitrator(s), without any requirement to post bond, to prevent irreparable harm arising from any unlawful acts by you.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH TIME LIMITATION IS PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, THESE TERMS, OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, BY YOU MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR IN AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
