  21. Limitation of Liability. AVAYA, ITS RELATED COMPANIES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS MAY NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF (OR THE INABILITY TO USE) THE WEBSITE, WEBSITE MATERIALS OR ANY SOFTWARE. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, THE LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF PROFIT, EVEN IF AVAYA WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IF ALL OR PART OF THIS LIABILITY IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN AVAYA'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES FOR LIABILITY THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN LIMITED SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

  22. Disputes.
    1. Any controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with the Program Terms, its enforcement or interpretation ("Dispute"), will be finally resolved solely in accordance with the terms of this Section 21.
    2. If a Dispute arises, the parties will endeavor to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation within forty-five (45) days of notification of the Dispute. If the Dispute cannot be settled through good faith negotiation, Avaya and You will submit the Dispute to non-binding mediation conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or any other mutually acceptable alternate dispute resolution organization. Each party shall bear its own expenses but those related to the compensation of the mediator shall be borne equally. The parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator (and arbitrator, if any) shall hold the existence, content and result of mediation in confidence.
    3. All Disputes that cannot be resolved through mediation will be finally resolved, subject to Section 21d below, by binding arbitration before one arbitrator, selected pursuant to the Commercial Rules of the AAA. The proceedings will be conducted in Morristown, New Jersey pursuant to such rules. The arbitrator so appointed will have the authority to determine issues of arbitrability and to consider and rule on dispositive motions. The arbitrator will have authority to award only those damages within the scope of Section 20 herein and will not award punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrator will not have the authority to limit, expand or otherwise modify the terms of this agreement. The parties, their representatives, other participants and the arbitrator will hold the existence, content and result of mediation and arbitration in confidence.
    4. Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including but not limited to preliminary injunctive relief). The parties acknowledge that each of them has a vital interest in enjoining any violation of confidentiality obligations, including unauthorized use of the Software or documentation, because damages would not adequately compensate a party for any infringements of that party’s intellectual property rights.
    5. Actions on Disputes between the parties with respect to the Program Terms must be brought in accordance with this Section 21 within two (2) years after the cause of action arises.

  23. Governing Law. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of New Jersey, excluding conflict of law principles and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. THE PARTIES UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE USE OF THE WEBSITE.
