    4. Location and Procedure

      Unless you and CHS otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.  If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and CHS submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.

Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. 

    5. Decision

      The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.
