following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or
be solely based on written submissions, as selected by the party initiating the
arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the
parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
