LEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT INVOLVES A WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS TO BRING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING AS A CLASS ACTION. 1. Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period. Please contact Zarclays first! Zarclays wants to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings, if possible. If you have a dispute with Zarclays, then you should contact Zarclays and a ticket number will be assigned. Zarclays will attempt to resolve your dispute internally as soon as possible. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute (which discussions shall remain confidential and be subject to applicable rules protecting settlement discussions from use as evidence in any legal proceeding). In the event the dispute cannot be resolved satisfactorily, and you wish to assert a legal claim against Zarclays, then you agree to set forth the basis of such claim in writing in a "Notice of Claim," as a form of prior notice to Zarclays. The Notice of Claim must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, (2) set forth the specific relief sought, (3) provide the original ticket number, and (4) include your Zarclays account email. The Notice of Claim should be submitted to an email address or hyperlink provided in your correspondence with Zarclays. After you have provided the Notice of Claim to Zarclays, the dispute referenced in the Notice of Claim may be submitted by either Zarclays or you to arbitration in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Section, below. For the avoidance of doubt, the submission of a dispute to Zarclays for resolution internally and the delivery of a Notice of Claim to Zarclays are prerequisites to commencement of an arbitration proceeding (or any other legal proceeding). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Zarclays shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. 2. Agreement to Arbitrate and Governing Law. You and Zarclays Operators agree that, subject to paragraph 1 above, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Zarclays (and/or Zarclays Operators) arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with Zarclays (and/or Zarclays Operators) as a user of Zarclays Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) will be determined by mandatory final and binding individual (not class) arbitration, except as set forth below under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Zarclays Operators further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including without limitation any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate, or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim.

The arbitration provisions set forth in this Section will survive termination of these Terms. Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be subject to the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules (HKIAC.

THIS ONE YEAR LIMITATION PERIOD IS INCLUSIVE OF THE INTERNAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 1 OF THIS SECTION, ABOVE. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT TO ANY REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM NOT ASSERTED WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law. Process; Notice: The party who intends to seek arbitration after the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period set forth in paragraph 1, above, must submit a request to the HKIAC in accordance with the HKIAC Rules.

You and Zarclays agree that any claims relating to these Terms or to your relationship with Zarclays as a user of Zarclays Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) shall be brought against the other party in an arbitration on an individual basis only and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class or representative action. You and Zarclays further agree to waive any right for such claims to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action, to the extent permissible by applicable law. Combining or consolidating individual arbitrations into a single arbitration is not permitted without the consent of all parties, including Zarclays. 4. Modifications.
