1. Scope of Services: GDRS agrees to provide and Tenant or Customer agrees to purchase the Brokered Waste Services (“Services” or “Events”) that are consistent with the terms of the Agreement or Commitment between the Community’s HOA, Property Manager or other legal entity in effect with GDRS for other Waste Disposal Services.

Cost for Services shall be charged by the Agreement or Commitment between the Community’s HOA, Property Manager or other legal entity in effect with GDRS for other Waste Disposal Services. The tenant or Customer is responsible for properly disposing of all waste, recycling, and organics, etc. Any fees charged by the hauler due to incorrect disposal will be passed on to the Tenant or Customer.
4. Right to Perform Services: Tenant or Customer represents and warrants that it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and permit the Services and other obligations hereunder to be provided to the property selected in this Agreement and that its execution of this Agreement shall not result in a breach of or default under any other agreement to which Tenant or Customer is a party or by which it is bound.
5. Indemnity: Tenant or Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold GDRS, its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and tenants or customers (each an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from or related to (i) any breach or alleged breach by Tenant or Customer of this Agreement, including any representations and warranties made by Tenant or Customer in this Agreement, (ii) any negligence, recklessness, willful or intentional act or omission of Tenant or Customer or any of its employees, agents, representatives or subcontractors in the performance of the Services (at GDRS 's facilities or elsewhere) and (iii) any payments or liabilities for which Tenant or Customer is or becomes liable (as described in Section 10 below). If any third party asserts or initiates any claim or action against any Indemnified Party for which Tenant or Customer is responsible for indemnification under this Section 6, GDRS will promptly notify Tenant or Customer of such claim or action after it becomes aware, provided, however GDRS 's failure to provide such notice thereof in a prompt manner to Tenant or Customer shall not relieve Tenant or Customer from any obligations owed hereunder, except to the extent that Tenant or Customer has been materially prejudiced by GDRS 's failure in giving such prompt notice. GDRS shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such claim or action, including any related settlement negotiations. No such claim or action shall be settled or compromised without GDRS 's express written consent, which consent may be withheld or conditioned by GDRS at its sole discretion, including requiring the execution of a full and complete release of all claims and actions made against the Indemnified Parties by each party bringing any such claims or actions. GDRS shall have the right to withhold from any payments due to Tenant or Customer the amount of GDRS 's actual and projected costs of defending or settling any such claim or action, plus any other reasonable additional amounts, as security for the performance by Tenant or Customer of its obligations under this Section 6.
Tenant or Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and save GDRS harmless from and against any and all liability by which any entity sub-contracted by GDRS may be responsible for as a result of any injuries (including death), property damage, or any violation or alleged violation of law to the extent caused by Tenant or Customer’s breach of this Agreement or by any negligent act, negligent omission or willful misconduct of Tenant or Customer or its employees, agents or contractors in the performance of this Agreement or Tenant or Customer s use, operation or possession of any equipment furnished by the Tenant or Customer.

No later than seven (7) business days after receipt by the other party of such notice, the Parties, represented by executive-level employees, shall meet and confer in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute. This meeting shall be for the express purposes of (1) exchanging and reviewing all pertinent non-privileged documents and information relating to the matters and issues in Dispute, (2) freely and candidly discussing each Party’s position, and (3) reaching agreement upon a reasonable, compromise resolution of the Dispute.

Mediation shall occur utilizing the services of a trained mediator, mutually agreed upon by both Parties, with at least five (5) years’ experience in mediating Disputes of the nature and type existing between the Parties, with costs for such mediation to be shared equally by both Parties. A Party shall request mediation by giving notice to the other and shall have the responsibility to take steps to set up such mediation, which shall occur no later than twenty (20) days from receipt of notice by the other party of a demand for mediation. Each Party shall be required to file and serve a mediation brief stating its position with the mediator and the other Party no later than two (2) business days before the mediation. Upon completing the mediation as described above, either Party may initiate the arbitration procedures outlined in Section 18(b) below.
Arbitration. If the Dispute cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of both parties by meeting and conferring and mediation, either Party may seek a resolution by binding arbitration with Judicial Arbitrations and Mediations Services (“JAMS”) by JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, unless the amounts in the Dispute are less than $250,000 in which case the Parties shall use JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The Parties agree that in any such arbitration each Party shall be entitled to conduct discovery by the California Code of Civil Procedure. Additionally, the Parties will endeavor to agree upon an arbitrator mutually. If the Parties are unable to do so, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with JAMS Rules. The costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be advanced by the Parties (in equal shares) in accordance with the payment schedule set forth by JAMS. The arbitration shall occur in San Diego, California, at a time and place the arbitrator selects. The arbitrator must follow California substantive law (including statutes of limitations) but strict conformity with the rules of evidence is not required, except that the arbitrator shall apply applicable law relating to privilege and work product. The arbitrator shall be authorized to provide all recognized remedies available at law or equity for any cause of action. Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator must issue a written decision. The arbitrator must issue a reasoned award if requested by any Party. The Arbitrator's decision shall be conclusive and binding, and it may thereafter be confirmed as a judgment by the Superior Court of the State of California, subject only to challenge on the grounds outlined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1286.2.
