To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Usage (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes which are mentioned below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT.

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilise class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration for Disputes involving (i) patent, trademarks and copyright; (ii) antitrust / competition laws; (iii) insolvency/winding up; (iv) bribery/corruption; (v) fraud; or (vi) criminal matters. If any Dispute, in part or full falls under any of the above provisions, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision as the same would be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
