For disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally. The complaining party shall first contact the other party in writing and describe the dispute, and the parties shall then attempt to negotiate a resolution in good faith for a period of 30 days from the date of the initial written notice. If the parties cannot reach a resolution within this timeframe, either party may then proceed to file a claim for arbitration.

The place of arbitration shall be Boston, MA. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.
