10. Dispute Resolution

  1. Mediation and Arbitration: Any disputes arising from these Terms and Conditions will be resolved through mediation or arbitration. 
    • Mediation: If a dispute arises, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve it through mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third party (mediator) who assists the parties in negotiating a settlement. Mediation is non-binding, meaning that the mediator does not have the authority to impose a decision. The goal is to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.
    • Arbitration: If mediation fails to resolve the dispute, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. Arbitration involves a neutral third party (arbitrator) who listens to both sides and makes a decision that is legally binding on both parties. The arbitration process is less formal than court proceedings and typically faster and less expensive.
  2. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: The governing law will be the laws of India, and any legal proceedings will take place in Indian Jurisdiction.
    • Governing Law: This agreement and any disputes arising from it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. This means that the laws of this jurisdiction will be used to interpret and enforce the terms of the agreement. 
    • Jurisdiction: Any legal action or proceeding related to this agreement must be brought exclusively in the courts of Indian Jurisdiction. This specifies the location where any lawsuits or legal actions must be filed, providing a clear legal venue.
  3. Amicable Resolution: Both parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes amicably before resorting to legal action.
    • Initial Negotiation: In the event of a dispute, the parties will first engage in good faith negotiations to try to resolve the issue amicably. This means they will communicate directly and attempt to find a resolution without involving third parties.
    • Escalation Procedure: If initial negotiations do not resolve the dispute, the parties may agree to escalate the issue to higher levels of management within their respective organizations before proceeding to mediation or arbitration.
  4. Costs of Dispute Resolution: The costs of mediation or arbitration will be shared equally by both parties, unless otherwise agreed.
    • Mediation Costs: Each party will bear its own costs and expenses related to mediation, and the costs of the mediator will be shared equally.
    • Arbitration Costs: Each party will bear its own costs and expenses related to arbitration, and the costs of the arbitrator will be shared equally. However, the arbitrator may decide to allocate costs differently based on the outcome of the arbitration.
  5. Confidentiality: Any mediation or arbitration proceedings will be confidential.
    • Confidential Process: All discussions, communications, and documents related to the mediation or arbitration will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to any third parties, except as required by law or necessary to enforce a settlement or arbitration award.
    • Non-Disclosure: The parties agree not to disclose any information about the dispute resolution process, including the existence of the dispute, the content of the discussions, or any settlement terms, to anyone not involved in the process.

11. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delays or failure to perform our obligations due to circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of war, or other unforeseen events.

Examples of Force Majeure Events:

  • Natural Disasters: Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other extreme weather conditions.

  • Mitigation of Impact: The affected party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the Force Majeure event and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably possible.
  • Extension of Time: If a Force Majeure event delays or prevents the performance of any obligations under the contract, the time for performing those obligations shall be extended by a period equal to the duration of the Force Majeure event, provided that the affected party complies with its obligations to notify and mitigate.
  •  
  • Termination Due to Extended Force Majeure: If the Force Majeure event continues for a period of decided time in agreement, either party may terminate the agreement by giving written notice to the other party. In such an event, both parties shall be released from further performance of the contract, except for obligations that accrued before the Force Majeure event.
  • Exclusions: This clause does not excuse any party's obligation to make payments due under the contract or to comply with any confidentiality or intellectual property obligations.
