Dispute

How to reconcile disagreements "Disagreement" has the fullest meaning possible under the law wherever it is used in this context, and includes any claim or dispute you may have with Beepo and its agents.

Take your time and study this section completely.

As a rule, we favor arbitration over litigation because we feel that arbitration is less time-consuming and less expensive than litigation.

If you agree to the following arbitration agreement, you are effectively giving up your right to sue and any chance of being heard by a court. In light of this, you are aware that the court's ability to review an arbitration award is restricted. A jury trial (if any) in any and all jurisdictions has been waived by you. Disputes between you and Beepo (including the interpretation and scope of this section and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action) relating to the Services or these Terms will be resolved exclusively via binding and confidential arbitration. We and "us" refer to Beepo and its affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns, and all of their respective employees, officers, and directors as well as their respective representatives and agents.

Third-party providers of products, services, or benefits in connection with the Services or these Terms are included in the definitions of "we" and "us" for the purposes of this section and may be designated as a co-party with us. Disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be resolved in good faith by us and you, using all reasonable efforts. A single arbitrator will be appointed by both parties within fourteen (14) business days of when a disagreement occurs if we and you are unable to reach an agreement.

The President of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, United Kingdom, Nigeria Branch (CIARb Nigeria) will designate a solo arbitrator if we and you cannot agree on the nomination of the arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Lagos State, Nigeria, using English as the medium of instruction. Both of us agree that the arbitrator's ruling is final and binding.

Regardless of this agreement to arbitrate, each party may seek emergency equitable relief in court to preserve the status quo until arbitration, and each party agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the court for such a purpose.................................................. Interim measures will not be interpreted as a renunciation of the right to arbitrate, even if they are requested.

Any claim must be filed within one year of the occurrence of the claim or the time when you should have reasonably known about the claim, regardless of any relevant statute of limitations. You agree not to sue or arbitrate on behalf of a group of people against Beepo or any of its agents. Disputes between you and Beepo are governed by Nigerian law, regardless of any conflict of laws restrictions.
