12.1. Please read this Section carefully. You and administrator, and each of our respective agents, corporate parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, agree to arbitration (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court), as the exclusive form of dispute resolution except as provided for below, for all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this terms and conditions or the service, unless you are located in a jurisdiction that prohibits the exclusive use of arbitration for dispute resolution. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
12.2. Commencing Arbitration. A party intending to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by an international courier with a tracking mechanism, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “Notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by you to Administrator, via any other method available to Administrator, including via e-mail.
12.3. Equitable Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11 do not apply to any claim in which either party seeks equitable relief to protect such party’s copyrights, trademarks, or patents. For the avoidance of doubt, however, you acknowledge that, in the event Administrator or a third party breaches this Terms and Conditions, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Administrator, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this Terms and Conditions.
12.4. Claims. You and Administrator agree that, notwithstanding any other rights a party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to this Terms and Conditions or the Service, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
12.5. Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against Administrator must be resolved in accordance with this Section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section, Administrator may recover attorneys' fees and reimbursement of its costs, provided that Administrator has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
12.6. Modifications. In the event that Administrator makes any future change to the "Mandatory Arbitration" paragraph set forth above (other than a change to Administrator's Arbitration Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Administrator's Arbitration Notice Address, in which case your account with Administrator and your license to use the Service will terminate immediately, and this Section, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive the termination of this Terms and Conditions.
12.7 Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions of Use will be referred to and finally settled by private and confidential binding arbitration before a single arbitrator held in Nigeria in English and governed by Nigeria law pursuant to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act Cap A18 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, as amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time. The arbitrator shall be a person who is legally trained and who has experience in the information technology field in Nigeria and is independent of either party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Site reserves the right to pursue the protection of intellectual property rights and confidential information through injunctive or other equitable relief through the courts.
12.8 These Terms and Conditions of Use shall be interpreted and governed by the laws in force in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Subject to the Arbitration section below, each party hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Nigeria and to waive any objections based upon venue.
16.1. Except as otherwise provided, if any provision of this Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. In our sole discretion, we may assign this Terms and Conditions, and in such event, we will post notice on our site.
16.2. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of this Terms and Conditions.
16.3. The policies posted on our site may be changed from time to time. Changes take effect when we post them on the Resource.
