The Arbitrator may not award any damages that are not expressly set forth in this agreement and, in the absence of a statute, may not award punitive damages or attorney's fees.
- Fees and Expenses of Arbitration. Each party must pay its own expenses associated with any arbitration, including its attorneys' fees.
