You and we each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Promoter will be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in New York County, New York and any other court with jurisdiction over you and us.

We agree to pay the administrative and arbitrator��s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of participant to attend the arbitration hearing).
