DLA Piper LLP (US), New York (Aidan M. McCormack of counsel), for appellant.

Godosky & Gentile, P.C., New York (David M. Godosky of counsel), for respondent,

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Lyle E. Frank, J.), entered on or about January 13, 2022, which granted defendant's motion to compel arbitration, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

The insurance contract at issue includes an arbitration provision. The parties agreed that "[i]f the Insured and the Insurer fail to agree as to the amount of any claim payable hereunder, or the interpretation of this policy, then, on written demand of either, each shall select a competent and disinterested arbitrator and notify the other of the same within 20 days." The contract also contains an endorsement of plaintiff's "miscellaneous revisions." Under that endorsement, the "Applicable Law, Court Jurisdiction" provision is "hereby appended." The provision reads that "[t]he parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, and to the extent permitted by law the parties expressly waive all rights to challenge or otherwise limit such jurisdiction."

Review of the record shows that that "[t]he express provision in the parties' agreement to arbitrate disputes was not negated by an additional clause" under the endorsement page (Isaacs v Westchester Wood Works, 278 AD2d 184, 185 [1st Dept 2000]). Furthermore, the arbitration clause and the exclusive jurisdiction provision can be read in harmony giving each full effect (see id.; 22 NY Jur 2d, Contracts §§ 252-253).
