Notwithstanding any longer statute of limitations period provided under applicable law, no cause of action, claim, or suit relating to this Agreement, an Article or any Service or the relationship of the parties under this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, may be brought or commenced more than twelve (12) months after the date such action, claim, or suit accrued. The foregoing shall not apply if applicable law precludes the shortening of the applicable statute of limitations period as described above. If applicable law allows the shortening of the statute of limitations period but not to the 12-month period specified above, then the period specified above shall be deemed amended to the shortest period authorized by the applicable law. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if a party does not bring or commence the necessary suit, action or legal proceeding within twelve (12) months from the date of accrual of such action or claim, then such party will be deemed to have forfeited its right in respect thereof. To the extent jury trials are permitted under applicable law, each party hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, its right to a jury trial in connection with any cause of action, claim, or suit arising out of or related to this Agreement. The foregoing shall constitute the written consent of each party to waive its right to a jury trial and either party may file a copy of this Agreement with the court as evidence of such written consent.

The two selected members shall select the third member of the panel. All Disputes submitted to arbitration under this Agreement shall be governed by the governing law specified above. Nothing in this Agreement shall require GIA to submit to arbitration any Dispute regarding
(i) amounts owed to GIA under this Agreement or (ii) infringement or misappropriation of GIA’s intellectual property rights. The then-applicable United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (“UNCITRAL”) Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) shall apply to any arbitration under this Agreement, except to the extent the provisions of this Section vary therefrom. The appointing authority shall be the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the case shall be administered by AAA in accordance with its “Procedures for Cases under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.” Decisions of the panel shall be made by majority vote. The panel may not award punitive damages or other damages precluded in this Agreement. The panel may issue injunctions, specific performance, or temporary restraining orders consistent with the governing law set forth above. Each party shall communicate with the arbitrators only in the presence of the other party or by writing delivered to the arbitrators and to the other party. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the award shall be made promptly by the panel (in any event, no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the closing of the hearing). Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the decision and award by the panel shall be reasoned, explain the basis of the decision and be in writing. Any failure to render the award within the foregoing time period shall not affect the validity of such award. The decision or award rendered or made in connection with the arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto. The prevailing party may present the decision or award to any court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation, and such court shall enter forthwith an order confirming such decision or award. The arbitration award shall allocate the expenses of the arbitrator(s) and of the arbitration between the parties in a manner corresponding to the extent to which one (1) party prevails over the other. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and related costs arising out of any Dispute under this Agreement, whether resolved by arbitration or in a court specified above. The prevailing party shall be the party with a net monetary recovery, a defendant in whose favor a dismissal is entered, a defendant where neither plaintiff nor defendant obtains any relief, and a defendant as against a plaintiff who does not recover any relief against the defendant. The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California, United States of America. The parties shall be entitled to discovery as provided in the Rules or as otherwise provided by the appointing authority. All arbitration proceedings shall be in English and the decision and a transcribed record of the arbitration shall be prepared in English. All arbitration proceedings undertaken pursuant to this Section and any awards or decisions resulting therefrom shall be deemed to be confidential between the parties thereto. To the extent either party maintains in good faith that any documents submitted or testimony introduced in connection with such arbitration contains confidential information or trade secrets, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach agreement regarding terms and conditions for keeping such materials and testimony confidential. If the parties are unable to agree upon such terms, the arbitrators shall have the right to impose appropriate restrictions to maintain the confidentiality of any confidential information or trade secrets in connection with the arbitration. Although a Dispute has been submitted to arbitration as provided in this Section, the arbitration of such Dispute shall not prohibit either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from one or more of the courts with jurisdiction as provided in this Section.

附件四 受印度法律管轄的鉆石交易EXHIBIT INDIA
(1) Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, and subject to the arbitration clause below, the appropriate courts of law in Mumbai alone shall be the courts of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) in its entirety is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.
(1) 管轄法律及司法管轄區(qū): 本協(xié)議應(yīng)受印度法律管轄并按印度法律解釋，并且在遵守下文仲裁條款的前提下，只有孟買的合適法院為有管轄權(quán)的法院。雙方同意明確排除整個《聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約 (1980)》對本協(xié)議的適用性。
(2) Arbitration 仲裁
(2.1) If any dispute arises between any of the parties hereto or inter se the parties, during the subsistence of this Agreement or thereafter, in connection with the validity, interpretation, implementation or alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement or regarding any question, including the question as to whether the termination of this Agreement by one party hereto has been legitimate, the disputing parties hereto shall endeavour to settle such dispute amicably. The attempt to bring about an amicable settlement is considered to have failed as soon as one of the parties hereto, after reasonable attempts which attempt shall continue for not less than 15 [fifteen] days, gives 7 [seven] days notice thereof to the other party in writing.
(2.1) 如果在本協(xié)議的存續(xù)期間或其后時間，本協(xié)議任何一方之間或雙方相互之間就本協(xié)議的任何條文的效力、解釋、實施或涉嫌違約或就任何問題(包括關(guān)于本協(xié)議一方終止本協(xié)議是否合法的問題) 而發(fā)生任何爭議，本協(xié)議的爭議雙方應(yīng)努力友好解決該爭議。本協(xié)議雙方的其中一方經(jīng)持續(xù)不少于15[十五]天的合理嘗試后給予另一方7[七]天的書面通知，嘗試促成友好地解決的行動即視為已告失敗。
(2.2) All disputes, differences or claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement including, without limitation, any question regarding its existence, validity, construction, performance, termination or alleged violation shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The venue for such arbitration shall be Mumbai and all proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall be appointed and such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then effective rules of conciliation and arbitration of The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, which rules, except as otherwise specifically provided, are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section. A party seeking to commence arbitration under this Section shall first serve a written notice (an “Arbitration Notice”), specifying the matter or matters to be so submitted to arbitration, on the other parties hereto. All claims and counterclaims shall, to the extent such claims or counterclaims are known at the time any arbitration is commenced, be consolidated and determined in the same arbitration proceeding. Deposits to cover the costs of arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties thereto. The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall, in addition to dealing with the merits of the case, fix the costs of the arbitration and decide which of the parties shall bear such costs or in what proportions such costs shall be borne by the parties hereto. The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final and conclusive on all parties to this Agreement, whether or not such parties have taken part in the arbitration, and shall be subject to forced execution in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(2.3) All disputes submitted to arbitration under this Agreement shall be governed by the governing law specified above. Nothing in this Agreement shall require GIA to submit to arbitration any dispute regarding (i) amounts owed to GIA under this Agreement or (ii) infringement or misappropriation of GIA’s intellectual property rights. The arbitrator(s) may not award punitive damages or other damages precluded in this Agreement. The arbitrator(s) may issue injunctions, specific performance, or temporary restraining orders consistent with the governing law set forth above. Each party shall communicate with the arbitrators only in the presence of the other party or by writing delivered to the arbitrators and to the other party. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the award shall be made promptly by the panel (in any event, no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the closing of the hearing). Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the decision and award by the panel shall be reasoned, explain the basis of the decision and be in writing. Any failure to render the award within the foregoing time period shall not affect the validity of such award. All arbitration proceedings undertaken pursuant to this Exhibit and any awards or decisions resulting therefrom shall be deemed to be confidential between the parties thereto. To the extent either party maintains in good faith that any documents submitted or testimony introduced in connection with such arbitration contains confidential information or trade secrets, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach agreement regarding terms and conditions for keeping such materials and testimony confidential. If the parties are unable to agree upon such terms, the arbitrator(s) shall have the right to impose appropriate restrictions to maintain the confidentiality of any confidential information or trade secrets in connection with the arbitration. Although a Dispute has been submitted to arbitration as provided in this Section, the arbitration of such Dispute shall not prohibit either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
(2.3) 本協(xié)議項下提交仲裁的所有爭議均受上述管轄法律的管轄。本協(xié)議任何內(nèi)容均不要求寶石學(xué)會將涉及下列事項的爭議提交仲裁: (i) 本協(xié)議項下欠付寶石學(xué)會的款項，或 (ii) 對寶石學(xué)會知識產(chǎn)權(quán)的侵權(quán)或盜用。仲裁員不可裁定本協(xié)議所排除的懲罰性賠償或其它賠償。仲裁員可發(fā)出與上述管轄法律相一致的禁令、強(qiáng)制履行令或臨時限制令。每一方只能在有另一方在場的情況下方可與仲裁員交流或通過向仲裁員及另一方提交書面文件的形式與仲裁員交流。除非雙方另行書面同意，仲裁庭應(yīng)迅速作出裁決 (任何情況下均不得晚于庭審結(jié)束后三十 (30) 個日歷日)。除非雙方另行書面同意，仲裁庭的決定和裁決應(yīng)載明理由，說明作出決定的依據(jù)，并應(yīng)采用書面形式。裁決未在上述期限內(nèi)作出不影響該裁決的效力。按照本附件進(jìn)行的所有仲裁程序及由此得出的任何裁決或決定應(yīng)視為仲裁雙方之間的秘密。如果任何一方善意地認(rèn)為對于該等仲裁程序所提交的任何文件或提供的證詞含有保密信息或商業(yè)秘密，雙方應(yīng)進(jìn)行善意磋商，以就這些材料和證詞的保密條款和條件達(dá)成協(xié)議。如果雙方不能就該等條款達(dá)成協(xié)議，仲裁員有權(quán)施加適當(dāng)限制，對仲裁相關(guān)的任何保密信息或商業(yè)秘密進(jìn)行保密。雖然爭議已按本條規(guī)定提交仲裁，但該爭議的仲裁不得禁止任何一方向有管轄權(quán)的法院尋求禁令救濟(jì)或衡平法救濟(jì)。

(1) 管轄法律: 客戶已閱讀本協(xié)議，并同意，本協(xié)議、按本協(xié)議產(chǎn)生的或與本協(xié)議有關(guān)的任何爭議 (不論基于合同、違法行為或其它理由)，以及本協(xié)議的有效性、履行和解釋應(yīng)在一切方面受南非共和國法律的管轄，并按南非共和國的法律解釋。在遵守下文仲裁條款的前提下，在因本協(xié)議產(chǎn)生或與本協(xié)議有關(guān)的任何爭議中，雙方特此同意并服從南非共和國高等法院威特沃斯蘭德地方分院的非專屬管轄權(quán)。雙方同意，所判給的任何訟費可按律師費和委托費的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)追討，但如法院具體決定該標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不適用則除外，在此情況下，訟費將按依照律師費和委托費標(biāo)準(zhǔn)決定的高等法院費率追討。
(2) Arbitration.
In the event of there being any dispute or difference between the parties arising out of this Agreement, the said dispute or difference shall on written demand by either party be submitted to arbitration in Johannesburg in accordance with the rules of the Arbitration Foundation of South Africa (“AFSA”), which arbitration shall be administered by AFSA.
Should AFSA, as an institution, not be operating at that time or not be accepting requests for arbitration for any reason, then the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AFSA rules for commercial arbitration (as last applied by AFSA) before an arbitrator appointed by agreement between the parties to the dispute or failing agreement within 10 (ten) business days of the demand for arbitration, then any party to the dispute shall be entitled to forthwith call upon the chairperson of the Johannesburg Bar Council to nominate the arbitrator, provided that the person so nominated shall be an advocate of not less than 10 (ten) years standing as such. The person so nominated shall be the duly appointed arbitrator in respect of the dispute. In the event of the attorneys of the parties to the dispute failing to agree on any matter relating to the administration of the arbitration, such matter shall be referred to and decided by the arbitrator whose decision shall be final and binding on the parties to the dispute. Any party to the arbitration may appeal the decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators in terms of the AFSA rules for commercial arbitration. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit a party to the arbitration from applying to the appropriate court for urgent relief or for judgment in relation to a liquidated claim.
Any arbitration in terms of this arbitration clause (including any appeal proceedings) shall be conducted in camera and the parties shall treat as confidential details of the dispute submitted to arbitration, the conduct of the arbitration proceedings and the outcome of the arbitration. This arbitration clause will continue to be binding on the parties notwithstanding any termination or cancellation of the Agreement. The parties agree that the written demand by a party to the dispute in terms of clause 2 that the dispute or difference be submitted to arbitration, is to be deemed to be a legal process for the purpose of interrupting extinctive prescription in terms of the Prescription Act, 1969.
(2) 仲裁。
如果雙方之間因本協(xié)議產(chǎn)生任何爭議或分歧，上述爭議或分歧應(yīng)在任何一方提出書面要求后提交仲裁，仲裁在約翰內(nèi)斯堡按照南非仲裁基金會 (Arbitration Foundation of South Africa (“AFSA”)) 的規(guī)則進(jìn)行，該仲裁應(yīng)由AFSA管理。如果作為機(jī)構(gòu)的 AFSA當(dāng)時沒有運(yùn)作，或因任何理由沒有受理仲裁的要求，則仲裁應(yīng)按照 (AFSA 最近采用的) AFSA商業(yè)仲裁規(guī)則在爭議的雙方之間通過協(xié)商指定的一名仲裁員席前進(jìn)行，或如在仲裁要求后10 (十) 個營業(yè)日內(nèi)協(xié)商不成，則爭議的任何一方有權(quán)立即要求約翰內(nèi)斯堡律師公會主席提名仲裁員，但條件是，如此獲提名的人應(yīng)是一名有不少于10 (十) 年出庭代訟人資歷的出庭代訟人。如此獲提名的人應(yīng)適當(dāng)?shù)孬@指定為有關(guān)該爭議的仲裁員。如果爭議雙方的律師未能就與仲裁的管理有關(guān)的任何事宜達(dá)成一致，該事宜應(yīng)提交仲裁員并由仲裁員作出裁決，仲裁員的裁決應(yīng)是終局的，并對爭議的雙方有約束力。仲裁的任何一方可按AFSA商業(yè)仲裁規(guī)則就仲裁員的裁決提出上訴。本條所載任何規(guī)定均不得視為阻止或禁止仲裁的一方向有關(guān)的法院申請緊急救濟(jì)或就已算定的索償作出判決。按本仲裁條款進(jìn)行的任何仲裁 (包括任何上訴程序) 應(yīng)以非公開的方式進(jìn)行，并且雙方應(yīng)對提交仲裁的爭議的詳情、仲裁程序進(jìn)行的情況及仲裁的結(jié)果保密。盡管本協(xié)議被終止或撤銷，本仲裁條款將繼續(xù)對雙方有約束力。
雙方同意，一方按第2 條提出的將爭議或分歧提交仲裁的書面要求，按照 1969年時效歸益法案，就中斷訴訟時效而言，須被視為法律程序文件。
