All hearings of the arbitration shall take place in Seattle, Washington, United States of America.

The award shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the parties agree to be bound by the terms of the award and to act accordingly. The judgment upon any award may be entered in and enforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the party against whom the award has been rendered or wherever the assets of the party are located.

Customer acknowledges that the performance of certain of Blueprint's obligations may require the cooperation of third parties designated by Customer and outside the control of Blueprint; in the event such third parties fail to cooperate with Blueprint in a manner that reasonably permits Blueprint to perform its obligations, such failures shall be consider as causes beyond the control of the Blueprint for the purposes of this Section and shall not be the basis for a determination that Blueprint is in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or is otherwise liable. Either party may terminate at its option this Agreement if any such a situation continues for thirty (30) days and prevents the continued performance of this Agreement by the other party.
9.11 Entire Agreement.
