PART 10. DISPUTES
10.1. Arbitration Agreement.
In the event of a dispute arising from or related to this Agreement or the Services, including but not limited to claims based on federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those grounded in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, you and we agree to pursue resolution through binding arbitration on an individual basis (the “Arbitration Agreement”). This excludes disputes that are eligible and proceed in a local small claims court on an individual (non-class and non-representative) basis, subject to the jurisdictional requirements in the UAE. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration institution in the UAE, mutually agreed upon by both parties. This Arbitration Agreement encompasses disputes related to its interpretation, enforceability, scope, or validity. The determination of such issues will be exclusively made by an arbitrator and not by a court or judge.
10.2. Arbitration Procedures.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and shall take place in the emirate in which you reside, or another mutually agreeable location within the UAE, in English languages. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction, and their decision may be enforced in any court within the UAE. An arbitrator’s decision will not have a precedential effect. Hearings can be conducted in person or by telephone at your request, and the arbitrator may decide motions on briefs, without oral hearings, as per UAE law. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, or any small claims action, may be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees, in accordance with UAE law.
10.3. Waiver of Class Action and Jury Trial.
YOU AND BERRYLAB AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE YOU AND BERRYLAB ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ARBITRATION WILL LIMIT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT FULL DISCOVERY, AND THE RIGHT TO APPEAL (EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT). YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. Unless both you and we agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
10.4. Disclaimers.
