11.   DATA/LINKS.  The Organization agrees that reThink and its affiliates may collect and use aggregated data regarding the Organization's use of the Content in order to improve reThink's products and services, or to provide customized services to the Organization.  The Content may include links to third party sites. The third party sites are not under reThink's control, and reThink is not responsible for their content, or any links contained in them. reThink is providing these links as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by reThink.

14.   GOVERNING LAW/DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under, out of, in connection with, or in relation to this Agreement will be subject to final and binding arbitration before a three arbitrator panel (one arbitrator selected by each party, which arbitrators select the third) conducted applying Georgia substantive law in accordance with and subject to the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation (the "Rules") as established by the Institute for Christian Conciliation (a division of Peacemaker Ministries). Any request for arbitration shall be delivered to the other party and shall contain a summary of the controversy or claim, the causes of action and theories of liability that the requesting party believes it has against the other party, and a statement of the relief which the requesting party believes to be appropriate.  The arbitration will be completed in no more than sixty (60) days from the date the arbitrators are selected, unless the arbitrators require an extension.  Any arbitration proceedings will be held by telephone or, if a hearing is deemed necessary by the arbitrators, in Atlanta, Georgia.  Judgment upon any award rendered in arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In addition to any other relief, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs including reasonable attorneys' fees and expert witness fees.  This paragraph does not prevent reThink from seeking an injunction or other extraordinary relief to protect or stop the infringement of the Trademarks or the Content, and the Organization agrees that reThink shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to stop such infringement.
