Dispute Resolution.

Remedies

In the event of a breach of the Terms by any party, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to all appropriate equitable and legal relief, including, but not limited to:

THE FOLLOWING IS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION

Dispute Resolution

Any issue, question, dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms or any provision thereof, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the Terms to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in English, before a single arbitrator (“Arbitrator”). The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) and in accordance with the expedited procedures in those Rules. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This dispute resolution provision shall include urgent or emergency arbitration relief and not preclude any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of such urgent or emergency arbitration relief from an arbitrator in accordance herewith. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedy provided under applicable law, except that the arbitrator shall have no power to award: Where a party intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other party with notice in writing (“Dispute Notice”). If the parties are unable or unwilling to resolve the dispute within 30 days after a Dispute Notice is given, the dispute will be resolved by arbitration upon one party sending the other party or parties and the Arbitrator a demand for arbitration. For the avoidance of doubt, no arbitration demand may be submitted until at least 30 days after all parties to the dispute have received or are deemed to have received the Dispute Notice.

Effects of Mandatory Arbitration

The parties understand, acknowledge, and agree that by agreeing to arbitrate in the manner required under Section 3232(b), they are each waiving any right they may have to bring before a court (for other than injunctive relief as provided below), any claim that such party may have arising out of, or for any violation of, any federal, state, local or other law, regulation or ordinance, or any other rights protected or arising under any law, rule or regulation. Nevertheless, the parties agree to waive all such rights they may have and agree to submit all disputes to binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 3232(b).

THE FOLLOWING IS A WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO A CLASS ACTION

Waiver of Class Action

All dispute resolution under the Terms must be on an individual basis. This means that neither we nor you may consolidate our or your claims in arbitration by or against any other party, or litigate in court, or arbitrate any dispute, claim or controversy as a representative or member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. To the extent that a dispute arises as to this Section 3232(f), only a court of law in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, not the Arbitrator, shall determine the validity and effect of this class action waiver.

Authority and Decision

The Arbitrator shall have the authority to award the same damages and other relief that a court could award. The Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award explaining the decision and any damages awarded. The Arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the parties. The parties will abide by, and fully perform, any award rendered by the Arbitrator. In rendering the award, the Arbitrator shall state the reasons therefore, including (without limitation) any computations of actual damages or offsets, if applicable.

Fees and Costs

In the event of arbitration under the Terms, the fees charged by JAMS or other arbitration administrator and the Arbitrator shall be borne by the parties as determined by the Arbitrator, except for any initial registration fee, which the parties shall bear equally despite any other rule or directive by JAMS. Otherwise, the parties shall each bear their own costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in arbitration, except as otherwise decided by the Arbitrator. In the event of any dispute arising under the Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in endeavoring to enforce the Terms, including reasonable attorney fees.

Confidentiality

The arbitration proceedings including all filings, discovery and communications related to such proceedings and any result(s) of arbitration (including any arbitration award) shall be maintained as confidential information by the parties, except as otherwise required by court order or as necessary to confirm, vacate or enforce the award and for disclosure in confidence to the parties’ respective attorneys, tax advisors and senior management and other parties with a strict need to know.

Enforcement; Jurisdiction; Service of Process

To the extent court action is required to enforce any arbitration decision hereunder or the waiver of class action under Section 32(f), such action shall be brought in the state and federal courts located in and for Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world. You hereby agree, and waive any objection to, service of process on You by means of Mail, Platform message, or email sent to your Account. In the event of any dispute arising under the Terms including, but not limited to, a suit to collect amounts due for Services provided to you by us, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs.
