18- Agreement to Arbitrate

Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving disputes between You and TWIG in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, You and TWIG agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. The Agreement to Arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement.


BY ENTERING IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND TWIG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.


Waiver of Class Actions and Right to Trial by Jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, You acknowledge and agree that You may bring claims against TWIG only in Your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND/OR CONSOLIDATION OF ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVED YOUR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

The Notice must describe: (a) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) the remedy that You want (Demand). You and TWIG agree to make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if You and TWIG do not reach an agreement within 30 business days after the Notice is received, You or TWIG may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by You or TWIG must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

Fees. If You commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, the payment of fees related to the arbitration will be decided by the Rules of the DIFC-LCIA.

Location. The arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the DIFC.
