(19) Statute of Limitations and Waiver of Jury Trial. 法定时效和放弃陪审审理: Notwithstanding any longer statute of limitations period provided under applicable law, no cause of action, claim, or suit relating to this Agreement, an Article(19) Statute of Limitations and Waiver of Jury Trial. 法定时效和放弃陪审审理:
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.
尽管适用法律规定了任何更长的法定时效，与本协议、某物件或任何服务或本协议项下双方关系相关的所有诉因、主张或起诉，无论是基于合同、侵权或其它理由，均不得在该诉讼、主张或起诉的理由发生之日后超出十二(12)个月提起或提出。如果适用的法律禁止缩短上述的适用法定时效，则上述规定并不适用。如果适用的法律容许缩短法定时效但不得缩短至上述的12个月期限，则上述期限应被视为修改至适用法律所认可的最短期限。此外，在适用法律允许的范围内，如果一方在诉讼或主张发生之日后十二(12)个月内没有提起或提出该等必要的起诉、诉讼或法律程序，则该方将被视为已放弃其就此
享有的权利。如果适用法律下允许陪审审理，每一方在适用法律允许的最大范围内，特此放弃其就因本协议发生的或与本协议有关的任何诉因、主张或起诉所享有的陪审审理权利。以上应构成每一方放弃其享有的陪审审理权利的书面同意，并且任何一方均可将本协议文本提交法院作为此书面同意的证据。
(20) Attorneys Fees. 律师费:
Should GIA retain attorneys to recover any amounts due under this Agreement, whether or not suit is filed, or to represent GIA in connection with any legal proceeding involving a Report and GIA is not a party to such suit and Client is a party, then Client agrees to pay GIA, in addition to any other amounts due, GIA’s attorneys’ fees, costs, and other expenses thus incurred.
如果宝石学会聘请律师，追讨本协议项下应付的任何款项 (无论是否提起诉讼)，或在涉及某项报告的任何法律诉讼中代表宝石学会而宝石学会并非该诉讼当事人但客户为当事人，则客户同意除其它到期应付款项外，还向宝石学会支付宝石学会因此发生的律师费、成本及其它开支。

(22) Amendment; Waiver; Severability. 修订；弃权；可分割性:
This Agreement may be amended only by a written amendment that is signed by the authorized representatives of both parties. No provision of this Agreement will be considered waived by either party, and no breach excused by either party, unless such waiver or consent is in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom the waiver is asserted. No waiver of a breach of this Agreement will constitute a consent to, waiver of, or excuse of any other, different, or subsequent breach by either party. If any part of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that part will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force. This Agreement shall not be modified, supplemented, qualified, or interpreted by any trade usage or prior course of dealing without GIA’s written consent. No representation, promise or condition not expressly provided in writing and signed by authorized representatives of Client and GIA shall be binding on either party.
本协议惟经双方授权代表签署修订文件方可予以修订。任何一方不得被视为放弃本协议任何规定，亦不得被视为赦免任何违约行为，除非该弃权或同意采用书面形式，并经主张该弃权所针对的一方由其代表予以签署。对本协议违约行为的弃权，不构成对任何一方发生的其它、不同或后续违约行为的同意、弃权或赦免。如果本协议任何部分被认定无效或不可强制执行，该部分应予以修订，以取得尽可能接近原有条款的同等经济效果，并且本协议其余部分应保持充分有效。未经宝石学会书面同意，本协议不得凭交易习惯或以前的惯常交易方式予以修改、补充、附以条件或解释。任何陈述、允诺或条件，除非以书面形式明示规定并经客户和宝石学会的授权代表签署，否则对任何一方均无约束力。
(23) Term and Termination. 协议期限和终止:
This Agreement is effective on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the date Client signs a subsequent Client Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days prior written notice, provided that this Agreement shall apply to any Services being provided as of the date of such notice and any Services requested after the date of such notice if the parties have not entered into a new Client Agreement. Client’s obligation to indemnify GIA as provided in this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
本协议于生效日生效，并应在客户签订下一份客户协议之日终止。任何一方均可经提前三十天发出书面通知终止本协议，但是，本协议应适用于在该通知之日正在提供的任何服务，并且，如果双方未签订新的客户协议，应适用于在该通知之日后要求提供的任何服务。本协议规定的客户对宝石学会的赔偿义务应于本协议终止后继续有效。

Client hereby consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York and San Diego, California, United States of America for all disputes, suits, actions, and claims (“Disputes”) related to or arising out of this Agreement. If Client is located in the United States, the jurisdiction of such courts shall be exclusive. Client agrees that it may not seek resolution of Disputes in any court other than the courts specified above. If Client is located outside the United States, then, except as provided below, all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided in this Section. Any arbitration requested under this Agreement shall be heard and determined by a panel of three (3) persons. Each party shall have the right to designate one (1) member of the panel. 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 受印度法律管辖的钻石交易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) 管辖法律及司法管辖区: 本协议应受印度法律管辖并按印度法律解释，并且在遵守下文仲裁条款的前提下，只有孟买的合适法院为有管辖权的法院。双方同意明确排除整个《联合国国际货物销售合同公约 (1980)》对本协议的适用性。
(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) 如果在本协议的存续期间或其后时间，本协议任何一方之间或双方相互之间就本协议的任何条文的效力、解释、实施或涉嫌违约或就任何问题(包括关于本协议一方终止本协议是否合法的问题) 而发生任何争议，本协议的争议双方应努力友好解决该争议。本协议双方的其中一方经持续不少于15[十五]天的合理尝试后给予另一方7[七]天的书面通知，尝试促成友好地解决的行动即视为已告失败。
(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.
(2.2) 因本协议而发生的或与本协议有关的所有争议、分歧或主张，包括但不限于有关其存在、效力、解释、履行、终止或宣称违约的任何问题，应通过有约束力的仲裁解决。该仲裁地点为孟买，而且所有法律程序应以英文进行。该名或该等仲裁员的指定及上述仲裁的进行应符合 1996年仲裁及调解法当时有效的调解及仲裁规则。除另有明确规定者外，该等规则被视为因提及而纳入本条。寻求根据本条提起仲裁的一方应首先向本协议其他方送达书面通知(“仲裁通知”)，载明将提交仲裁的一宗或多宗事项。所有主张和反主张在该等主张或反主张于提起任何仲裁时已知的情况下，应合并起来并在同一仲裁程序中裁定。支付仲裁费用的按金应由仲裁双方平均分担。除了处理案件的法律理据之外，由(一名或多名) 仲裁员作出的裁决除了处理案件的理据之外，还应厘定仲裁费用及决定须承担该等费用的一方或本协议双方承担该等费用的比例。由(一名或多名)仲裁员作出的裁决应为终局，对本协议各方有决定性的作用，而不论该等各方曾否参与仲裁，而且可在任何有管辖权的法院强制执行。
(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.

EXHIBIT BOTSWANA附件六 受南非法律管辖的钻石交易
(1) Governing Law. Client has read this Agreement and agrees that this Agreement, any dispute arising under or which is related to this Agreement (whether in contract, delict, or otherwise), and the validity, performance, and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects under the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Subject to the arbitration provisions below, the parties hereby consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Witwatersrand Local Division of the High Court of the Republic of South Africa in any dispute arising from or in connection with this Agreement. The parties agree that any costs awarded will be recoverable on an attorney-and-own-client scale unless the Court specifically determines that such scale shall not apply, in which event the costs will be recoverable in accordance with the High Court tariff, determined on an attorney-and-client scale. (1) 管辖法律: 客户已阅读本协议，并同意，本协议、按本协议产生的或与本协议有关的任何争议 (不论基于合同、违法行为或其它理由)，以及本协议的有效性、履行和解释应在一切方面受南非共和国法律的管辖，并按南非共和国的法律解释。在遵守下文仲裁条款的前提下，在因本协议产生或与本协议有关的任何争议中，双方特此同意并服从南非共和国高等法院威特沃斯兰德地方分院的非专属管辖权。双方同意，所判给的任何讼费可按律师费和委托费的标准追讨，但如法院具体决定该标准不适用则除外，在此情况下，讼费将按依照律师费和委托费标准决定的高等法院费率追讨。
(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。
如果双方之间因本协议产生任何争议或分歧，上述争议或分歧应在任何一方提出书面要求后提交仲裁，仲裁在约翰内斯堡按照南非仲裁基金会 (Arbitration Foundation of South Africa (“AFSA”)) 的规则进行，该仲裁应由AFSA管理。如果作为机构的 AFSA当时没有运作，或因任何理由没有受理仲裁的要求，则仲裁应按照 (AFSA 最近采用的) AFSA商业仲裁规则在争议的双方之间通过协商指定的一名仲裁员席前进行，或如在仲裁要求后10 (十) 个营业日内协商不成，则争议的任何一方有权立即要求约翰内斯堡律师公会主席提名仲裁员，但条件是，如此获提名的人应是一名有不少于10 (十) 年出庭代讼人资历的出庭代讼人。如此获提名的人应适当地获指定为有关该争议的仲裁员。如果争议双方的律师未能就与仲裁的管理有关的任何事宜达成一致，该事宜应提交仲裁员并由仲裁员作出裁决，仲裁员的裁决应是终局的，并对争议的双方有约束力。仲裁的任何一方可按AFSA商业仲裁规则就仲裁员的裁决提出上诉。本条所载任何规定均不得视为阻止或禁止仲裁的一方向有关的法院申请紧急救济或就已算定的索偿作出判决。按本仲裁条款进行的任何仲裁 (包括任何上诉程序) 应以非公开的方式进行，并且双方应对提交仲裁的争议的详情、仲裁程序进行的情况及仲裁的结果保密。尽管本协议被终止或撤销，本仲裁条款将继续对双方有约束力。
双方同意，一方按第2 条提出的将争议或分歧提交仲裁的书面要求，按照 1969年时效归益法案，就中断诉讼时效而言，须被视为法律程序文件。
