6. Disputes with Pomo One Marketing, Inc.

6.1 Arbitration Provision.

Instead, the parties agree to submit their disputes to a neutral third person (an “arbitrator”) for a decision. Arbitration proceedings are private and less formal than court proceeding. Each party to a dispute has an opportunity to present their evidence to the arbitrator regarding the dispute. After considering each party’s evidence and arguments, the arbitrator then issues a final and binding decision resolving the dispute.  We will follow and you agree to follow Our policy of arbitrating all disputes, including the scope and validity of this Arbitration Provision.

Thus, any arbitration shall be governed by the FAA and subject to the laws of the Tribe.
