Each party to the arbitration will, upon the written request of any other party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents (including, without limitation, emails and other written communications) relevant to the issues. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, under the guidance of the Federal Rules, which determination shall be conclusive. The discovery period shall be completed within thirty (30) days following the appointment of the arbitrators.

Section 8.11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
