2. CONSTRUCTION DEFECT MEDIATION. Due to the administrative and logistical complexity, IMG assesses a ten percent (10%) surcharge in complex, multi-party construction defect matters. 3. THIRD-PARTY FACILITIES COSTS. We can provide facilities both locally and Regionally. Alternate/equidistant facilities are available at extra cost. 4. FEE AND COST ALLOCATION. Professional service fees and facilities costs will be billed to and are due from the contracting counsels in equal, pro rata shares unless they agree to a different apportionment and notify IMG in writing at least fourteen (14) days before the mediation. 5. DEPOSITS. Each participant's share of the total amount due must be deposited 21 days before the mediation as a retainer to guarantee the mediation date. If funds are not on deposit, IMG may offer the date to other clients. 6. CANCELLATION AND POSTPONEMENT. If the mediation is canceled or postponed within 21 days of the scheduled date, the party requesting the cancellation or postponement is responsible for the entire deposit (not just the canceling party's share of the deposit), unless the time slot can be rescheduled. Mediations in the U.S. are usually held at IMG's primary offices in La Jolla. Additional offices in Los Angeles, the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, Orange and Ventura Counties are also available as well as facilities throughout Northern and Southern California. Based upon the agreement of the parties, an alternative, mutually determined location could be agreed to within the U.S. For International mediations, the parties can mutually determine location arrangements.
