21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION

21.1. In the unlikely event that we have a legal dispute, here is how the Parties agree to proceed, except where prohibited by applicable law.

21.2. If you are dissatisfied with our Services for any reason, please contact Rendezvous’ Customer Service first so we can try to resolve your concerns without the need of outside assistance. If you choose to pursue a dispute, claim or controversy against Rendezvous, these terms will apply. For purposes of this Dispute Resolution Process and Arbitration Procedures set forth in this agreement, “Rendezvous” shall include our affiliates, employees, licensors, and service providers.

21.3. Any dispute, claim, or controversy, between you and Rendezvous that arises from or related in any way to this Agreement (including any alleged breach of this Agreement), the Service, or our relationship with you during the term of this Agreement or after the termination of this Agreement, including any questions regarding their existence, validity, or termination, shall be resolved by first sending a detailed notice (“Notice”) to Customer Support and or the official email of Rendezvouz. Completion of this informal dispute resolution is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration. Failure to do so is a breach of this Agreement.

21.4. Your Notice must contain all of the following information:(1)your full name; (2) information that enables Rendezvous to identify your account, including a picture or screenshot of your profile, your address, mobile phone number, email address, and date of birth you used to register your account if any; and (3) a detailed description of your Dispute, including the nature and factual basis of your claim(s) and the relief you are seeking with a corresponding calculation of your alleged damages (if any).

21.5. If Rendezvous has a Dispute with you (“Rendezvous’ Dispute"), Rendezvous agrees to first send a Notice to you at your most recent email address on file with us, or if no email address is on file, other contact information associated with your account. Rendezvous’s Dispute Notice must likewise set forth a detailed description of Rendezvous’s Dispute, which shall include the nature and factual basis of its claim(s) and the relief it is seeking, with a corresponding calculation of our damages (if any).

21.6. You and Rendezvous agree to then negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute. As part of these good faith negotiations, Rendezvous may request a telephone conference with you to discuss Your Dispute, and you agree to personally participate, with your attorney if you’re represented by counsel. Likewise, you may request a telephone conference to discuss Rendezvous’ Dispute with you, and Rendezvous agrees to have one representative participate. (For the avoidance of doubt, Rendezvous’ termination of your account, is not Rendezvous’ Dispute with you.) This informal process should lead to a resolution of the Dispute. However, if the Dispute is not resolved within 60 working days after receipt of a fully completed Notice and the Parties have not otherwise mutually agreed to an extension of this informal dispute resolution time period, you or Rendezvous may initiate an arbitration (without precluding Rendezvous’ right to seek interim and injunctive reliefs).

21.7. In the event that this is not resolved within 60 working days, parties shall refer to arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Mediation Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2023 (as amended).

21.8. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and shall take place in Lagos, Nigeria. The number of arbitrators shall be three, and the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules established by the Nigerian Arbitration and Mediation Act. The parties agree that the arbitration proceedings shall be confidential and that any awards granted shall be final and binding upon parties.

21.9. By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this arbitration clause and agree to resolve any disputes through arbitration as outlined herein.

21.10. All offers, promises, conduct, and statements made in the course of the informal dispute resolution process by any party, its agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential and not admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceeding (except to the extent required to certify in writing that the Party met the requirements of this dispute resolution process before commencing an arbitration), provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable.

22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION THROUGH ARBITRATION

22.1. Any Dispute (that is not resolved informally by Rendezvous Customer Service or as provided under Section 21) shall be exclusively resolved through ARBITRATION except as specifically provided otherwise in this Dispute Resolution Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rendezvous may elect to have an individual claim heard in Court, and individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment occurring in connection with your use of the Services may be brought in accordance with this agreement. If the request to proceed in court is made after arbitration has been initiated but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration shall be administratively closed by the arbitration institute.

22.2. Any controversy over the court’s jurisdiction shall be exclusively determined by such court. No determinations made by a court shall have preclusive effect in any proceeding involving Rendezvous and anyone other than you.

22.3. In the event such court specifically determines that it is without jurisdiction to hear the Dispute, you and Rendezvous shall arbitrate the Dispute under the terms of this Agreement. All other issues (except as otherwise provided herein) are exclusively for the Arbitrator to decide, including but not limited to scope and enforceability of this Dispute Resolution Section and including questions of arbitrability, any request to proceed in court that is made after an arbitrator has been appointed, and any dispute as to whether either Party is in breach or default of the Dispute Resolution Section or has explicitly or implicitly waived the right to arbitrate.

22.4.

You hereby irrevocably consent to those courts’ exercise of personal jurisdiction over you for such purposes and waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.

22.6. The Parties agree that the following procedures will apply to any Arbitration initiated under this Dispute Resolution Section.

You and Rendezvous acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the fair resolution of genuine and sincere Disputes.
