13.7 Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Please read this  Section 13.6 (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of Your contract with The AM Lab and affects Your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. 

  1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for  injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with this Agreement or the  use of any product or service provided by The AM Lab that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement applies to You and The AM Lab, and  to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and  assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods  provided under this Agreement. 
  2. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating any arbitration  proceedings, the aggrieved party ("Initiating Party") shall first issue a formal written Notice  of Dispute ("Notice") to the other party. This Notice shall comprehensively detail the specific  nature of the claim or dispute, the underlying facts and circumstances giving rise to the dispute,  and the specific relief or remedy sought. Notices directed to The AM Lab shall be delivered via  electronic mail to info@theamlab.com and concurrently via registered or certified mail to The  AM Lab's principal place of business. Upon receipt of such Notice, both parties shall engage in  good faith negotiations to amicably resolve the dispute. This negotiation period shall persist for  a minimum of 30 days from the date of receipt of the Notice. Should the parties fail to reach a  mutually acceptable resolution within this 30-day period, either party may then proceed to  initiate formal arbitration proceedings. Notably, any settlement offers or overtures made by  either party during the negotiation period shall remain strictly confidential and shall not be  disclosed to the appointed arbitrator until after the arbitrator has rendered a decision on the  merits of the dispute and determined any award or damages, if applicable. 
  3. Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the DIFC-LCIA Arbitration  Centre. The rules of the DIFC-LCIA shall govern all aspects of this arbitration. The arbitration  shall be conducted by a neutral arbitrator, appointed as per the DIFC-LCIA rules. Any judgment  on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction  within the DIFC. 
  4. Additional Rules for Non-appearance Based Arbitration. In the event that the parties  opt for non-appearance-based arbitration, the proceedings shall be facilitated through  telephonic, electronic, or purely written modalities. The precise method of conducting the  arbitration shall be determined at the sole discretion of the party initiating the arbitration  process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no in-person appearances, either by the parties or any designated witnesses, shall be mandated unless there exists a joint and express agreement  between the parties to the contrary. 
  5. Authority of Arbitrator. Upon the commencement of arbitration proceedings, the  designated arbitrator, under the auspices of the DIFC, shall possess the exclusive authority to  determine the rights and liabilities, if any, of both You and The AM Lab. Such determination  shall be made without consolidating the dispute with other matters or joining it with other cases  or parties. The arbitrator is vested with the power to grant motions that dispose of all or a  portion of any claim presented. Furthermore, the arbitrator is empowered to award both  monetary and non-monetary remedies or relief as permissible under the prevailing law, the  DIFC Arbitration Rules, and the stipulations of this Agreement. Subsequent to the conclusion of  the arbitration, the arbitrator shall promulgate a comprehensive written award and a detailed  statement of decision, elucidating the foundational findings and conclusions that underpin the  award, inclusive of any computation pertaining to damages conferred. The arbitrator's authority  to grant relief mirrors that of a judicial officer in a court of competent jurisdiction. The  arbitrator's award shall be deemed conclusive and shall bind both You and The AM Lab. 
  6. Severability. In the event that any provision or specific clause of this Arbitration  Agreement is adjudged to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or tribunal of  competent jurisdiction, such provision or clause shall be deemed null and void, but this shall not  affect or impair the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions or clauses  contained herein. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that such invalid, illegal, or  unenforceable provision or clause shall be replaced with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision  or clause that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the original provision  or clause. The remainder of this Arbitration Agreement shall remain in full force and effect,  reflecting the parties' original intent. 

13.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, and any disputes or claims arising out of or in  connection with it, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Dubai  International Financial Centre ("DIFC"). The parties irrevocably agree that the DIFC courts shall  have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with  this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the application of the United  Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded from  this Agreement. 

13.9 Independent Contractor. "For the purposes of this Agreement, You shall act solely as  an independent contractor vis-à-vis The AM Lab. This Agreement shall not be construed to  create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee, or agency relationship between You and The AM Lab for any purpose. You shall not make any representations that suggest  otherwise and shall not take any position or action that might impose on The AM Lab any  obligations or liabilities, including, but not limited to, any representations in tax filings or  applications for benefits, which are inconsistent with such independent contractor status. You  have no authority, and shall not hold yourself out as having authority, to bind The AM Lab, and  You shall not undertake or represent to third parties as being able to undertake any  commitments or obligations on behalf of The AM Lab.

13.10 Notice. In accordance with this Agreement, should The AM Lab necessitate an e-mail  address from You, it is incumbent upon You to furnish The AM Lab with Your most up-to-date  e-mail address. Should the most recent e-mail address You have provided to The AM Lab  become invalid, or for any reason fails to facilitate the delivery of any notices mandated or  allowed under this Agreement, the act of The AM Lab dispatching an e-mail containing such  notice to that address shall, notwithstanding such delivery failure, be deemed as constituting  effective notice. For the purposes of providing formal notice to The AM Lab, such notice shall be  directed to the following address: Dubai CommerCity Business Cluster B3, Office 419, Dubai,  United Arab Emirates. Any such notice shall be considered duly given upon its receipt by The  AM Lab, either through a nationally recognized courier service with tracking capabilities or via  first-class mail with postage prepaid to the aforementioned address. 

13.11 Waiver. Notwithstanding any prior actions or omissions, any forbearance or omission by  either party to exercise any right or enforce any provision of this Agreement at any given  instance shall not be construed as a waiver of such right or provision at any subsequent  instance. Such forbearance or omission shall not prejudice the rights of the party in question to  enforce such provision or exercise such right in the future. 

13.12 Severability. In the event that any clause, stipulation, or provision contained within this  Agreement is adjudicated or determined to be void, inoperative, or unenforceable for any  reason whatsoever, such determination shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability  of any other clause, stipulation, or provision contained herein. Any such void, inoperative, or  unenforceable clause, stipulation, or provision shall be subject to modification to the extent  necessary to render it valid, operative, and enforceable in a manner most closely representing  the original intent of the parties. 

13.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the definitive, comprehensive, and sole  agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior  negotiations, understandings, and agreements, whether oral or written, related to the same. In  the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy among the terms of this Agreement, the General  Terms, or any order for Parts, the following hierarchy shall prevail, unless explicitly agreed  otherwise in writing by the parties: (i) Manufacturing Standards; (ii) this Agreement; (iii) the  General Terms; and (iv) the order for Parts. The parties further recognize and concur that any  pre-printed terms or conditions on the reverse or any other part of any quotation, order,  acknowledgment, or invoice are nullified and shall hold no bearing or significance.
