(c) THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET
FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE
BARGAIN BETWEEN BUYALADDIN AND YOU.
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 15 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Buyaladdin are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in Dubai, and you and Buyaladdin each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each
agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or
relating to these Terms or the breach, termination,
enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of
the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved
solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class,
representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and
Buyaladdin agree that the UAE Federal Law on Arbitration
governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and
that you and Buyaladdin are each waiving the right to a trial
by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration
provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
(b) Exceptions. As limited
exceptions to Section 15(a) above: (i) we both may seek to
resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and
(ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other
equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the
infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property
rights.
(c)
Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The
arbitration will be conducted by the Dubai International
Arbitration Centre(“DIAC”) under its Consumer
Arbitration Rules (the “DIAC Rules”) then in effect,
except as modified by these Terms. The DIAC Rules are
available at
www.diac.ae/idias/
or by calling +971 (0)4-202-8343. A party who wishes to
start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration
to DIAC and give notice to the other party as specified in the
DIAC Rules. The DIAC provides a form Demand for Arbitration at
www.diac.ae/idias/.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in Dubai, provided
that the arbitrator may select a different location if the
arbitrator determines that the location set forth herein is
unreasonably burdensome to you. The parties agree that the
arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues
relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability
and scope of this arbitration agreement.
(d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of
all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be
governed by the DIAC Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the
administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for
paying or our attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator finds your
Dispute frivolous. If you prevail in arbitration you will be
entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the
extent provided under applicable law.
(e)
Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided
in Section 15(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all
issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by
either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief
only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only
to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that
party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail
on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is,
injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of
prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the
public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be
litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not
in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any
issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the
outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
(f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND
BUYALADDIN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER
ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is
resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not
consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may
not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or
class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be
unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution
section shall be null and void.his Dispute Resolution section
shall be null and void.
