13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND MONIEPEDIA MEDIA LIMITED WILL BE RESOLVED. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
13.1 Informal Dispute Resolution
Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of our website (each, a “Dispute”) informally by contacting us at support@moniepedia.com and providing a detailed description of the Dispute, the relief you are seeking, and your proposed resolution.
We will attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through the email address associated with your account or the email address you provide in your notice. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days of receiving your notice, either party may proceed to formal dispute resolution as described below.
13.2 Binding Arbitration
IF THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE DISPUTE, YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT EITHER PARTY MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN COURT TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF A PARTY’S COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE SECRETS, PATENTS, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND MONIEPEDIA MEDIA LIMITED ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
The arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration body in Nigeria in accordance with its arbitration rules then in effect, except as modified by this arbitration agreement. The arbitration will be conducted in English language. The arbitrator will have the power to rule on any challenge to their own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of this arbitration agreement.
The arbitrator 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. YOU AND MONIEPEDIA MEDIA LIMITED AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Unless both you and MoniePedia Media Limited agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s 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 arbitration agreement shall be null and void.
13.3 Arbitration Costs
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the arbitration body’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this arbitration agreement. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.
13.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim falls within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis. Either party may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations.
13.5 Time Limitation on Claims
YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OUR WEBSITE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, YOUR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
13.6 Severability
If any portion of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms, and severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact on the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of this section or the remainder of these Terms.
