Arbitration of disputes.
In the case of a dispute between the

the independent data processing servicers to enter into an interface agreement
as required by this Act, the parties shall be
deemed to have agreed to the appointment of an
arbitrator for a binding resolution of the dispute consistent with the
provisions of the Uniform Arbitration Act unless the parties agree to some
other process for binding arbitration or unless the aggrieved party seeks court
action.
Any decision by the arbitrator in connection with any arbitration
shall be determined only after an
opportunity for a hearing.
Anything to the contrary in this
Act notwithstanding, any right of arbitration
granted under this Act is subject to the right of either party to seek court
action.

Sec. 17. Ownership of financial institution data.

The independent data processing servicer shall have no right, title, or interest in claiming legal ownership of the data. The transfer of the data by the financial institution, pursuant to an interface agreement or other agreement with the independent data processing servicer, only authorizes the independent data processing servicer to exercise temporary control of the data for the limited purpose of performing the contracted services requested by the financial institution.
