1. Dispute Resolution and Termination

(a) In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve such dispute amicably through good faith negotiations. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations, the parties shall proceed to mediation in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed-upon mediation provider.

(b) If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through mediation, they agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed-upon arbitration provider, and shall be presided over by an arbitrator named in the Partnership Agreement or otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties.

(c) The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to recover their reasonable attorney's fees and costs from the other party.

(d) The termination provisions outlined in the Partnership Agreement shall specify the grounds for termination and any consequences thereof. In the event of termination, the Participant shall cease using the Course Creator's Intellectual Property, marketing materials, and support and shall promptly return any and all materials, including any copies thereof, containing the Course Creator's Intellectual Property to the Course Creator.
