19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE SERVICE AND SEEKING MONETARY RELIEF SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ACCORDING TO THIS SECTION.

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the party seeking arbitration ("Claimant") must first send a written Notice of Claim to the other party ("Respondent") by email. This Notice must contain the Claimant's name, address, and contact information; the identity of counsel (if any); the nature and basis of the claim; and the specific relief sought. Within thirty days of receipt of the Notice, the parties shall engage in at least one good-faith settlement conference by telephone or video conference. An individual party must be personally present at this settlement conference, and an entity party must be present through an employee with settlement authority, though both parties may bring counsel as well. Arbitration shall be initiated only if no settlement can be reached at this settlement conference.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator and administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre ("HKIAC") according to its rules in effect at the time of the arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The seat of the arbitration shall be Hong Kong.

If a claim is within the jurisdiction of the Small Claims Tribunal of Hong Kong, either party may choose to have the case heard in that tribunal on an individual basis, instead of arbitration.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may apply for and obtain non-monetary, injunctive remedies or urgent relief in court without engaging in any arbitration or informal dispute resolution process.

20. Language

This agreement was originally written in English. To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

In the event that any of the Terms and Conditions are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms and Conditions shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

A waiver by the Company or you of any provision of these Terms and Conditions or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.

The Company may assign its rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions without condition. These Terms and Conditions will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Company and you, and the Company's and your respective successors and permitted assigns.
