10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

10.1 Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Hong Kong without regard to any choice or conflict of laws rules. 

10.2 Claim Notice. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to waive your rights to any jury trial and for any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms resolved in court. For any dispute or claim that you have against the Company or relating in any way to these Terms, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to us by email at “legal＠morphl2.io”. 

The Notice must: 

(i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; 

(ii) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and 

(iii) state the specific relief sought. 

If you and the Company cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after such Notice is received, then either party may then submit the dispute to binding arbitration as prescribed below.

10.3 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim between you and the Company (and/or any of its Affiliates) arising out of, in connection with, or relating in any way to: (a) these Terms, including the existence, validity, subject matter, interpretation, performance, breach, negotiation, termination, enforceability or the consequences of their nullity thereof; (b) your relationship with the Company (and/or any of its Affiliates) as a user (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms); and (c) any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to these Terms or your relationship with the Company (and/or any of its Affiliate), shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when arbitration is commenced. The arbitral award shall be final and binding. The arbitration provisions set forth in this clause will survive termination of these Terms.

You and we agree that: 

(i) the law of this clause is Hong Kong law; 

(ii) the seat of arbitration will be Hong Kong; 

(iii) the arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English;

(iv) unless you and we agree otherwise, the number of arbitrators will be one (1) and that arbitrator must have relevant legal and technological expertise;

(vi) the arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not: 

• a. consolidate more than one individual’s claims; 
• b. preside over any type of class or representative proceeding; and 
• c. preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

Any claim to be brought by you arising out of or related to these Terms must commence arbitration proceedings strictly within one year after such claim arises failing which it shall be irrevocably time barred. Time barred claims means that there is no longer any lawful right to assert such claims nor to commence any formal legal action. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, you agree that we have the right to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) or equitable relief in any jurisdiction.

You agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms: 

(i) is personal to you and us; and 

(ii) will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.  

If any portion of this clause is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason:

(i) only the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed/deleted;

(ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision should have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this clause or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this clause; and 

(iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims should be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. 

10.4 Confidentiality. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential. The existence of the arbitration, the existence or content of a claim, all documents and information provided or exchanged in connection with the arbitration, and any submissions, orders or awards made in the arbitration shall be kept confidential and no party shall disclose any of the foregoing to any third party except the tribunal, the HKIAC, the parties, their counsels, experts, witnesses, accountants and auditors, insurers and reinsurers, and any other persons necessary to the conduct of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose such confidential information in the event that: 

(i) the written consent of the other party is obtained;

(ii) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by the regulations of any regulatory or supervisory authority of competent jurisdiction to which the party is or may become subject to or pursuant to any order of court or other competent authority or tribunal of competent jurisdiction;

(iii) in connection with the commencement, pursuit or defence by a party of any bona fide legal proceedings to enforce or challenge any award rendered in the arbitration; and

(iv) to the extent that the relevant confidential information is in the public domain other than as a result of breach of these Terms.

The confidentiality obligation in this clause shall survive termination of these Terms and conclusion or stay of any arbitration brought pursuant to these Terms.
