|
||
foregoing, Elasticsearch shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for preliminary
|
||
injunctive relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator, provided that a permanent injunction and damages shall
|
||
only be awarded by the arbitrator. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
