I, {{arbitrator}}, acknowledge that if I or a Judge within my entity fail to fulfill the obligations or violate the rules set forth in this contract, that arbitrator and/or said Judge may receive the penalties enumerated for the corresponding violation.

I shall not recuse myself from service for any other reason and shall endeavor to bring each Case to a just and timely resolution. Violation of the preceding by any Judge, as judged by an arbitration tribunal, shall be cause for the disqualification of said Judge from all service as a judge of arbitration for 365 days on first offence or 3 years on second or subsequent offenses.

8. Impartiality

I, {{arbitrator}}, agree to remain impartial and to conduct arbitration fairly and according to the documented practices of the selected rules of arbitration.

11. Amending Human-language Terms of ‘regarb’ Contract
