Governing Law & Disputes
This Governing Law & Dispute Resolution Policy establishes the legal framework for all commercial agreements, service contracts, and legal relationships entered into by Aevum Zenth Conglomerate and its subsidiaries. By engaging with Aevum Zenth, its affiliates, platforms, or personnel, you agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Governing Law
All disputes, claims, or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Policy, any agreement with Aevum Zenth, or your use of our services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Singapore International Financial Centre (SIFC), without regard to its conflict of law principles. Where local mandatory regulations apply to specific divisions or jurisdictions, those regulations shall take precedence insofar as legally required.
2. Mandatory Dispute Resolution Process
Before initiating any formal legal action, the parties agree to follow a structured resolution process:
- Direct Negotiation (30 Days): Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith negotiations between designated legal representatives.
- Mediation (45 Days): If negotiation fails, the dispute shall be submitted to confidential mediation administered by the Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC) or an equivalent recognized institution.
- Binding Arbitration: Should mediation not yield a resolution, the dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration as detailed in Section 3.
3. Arbitration
Any unresolved dispute shall be determined by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the arbitration rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). The arbitration shall be conducted in English, seated in Singapore, and the award shall be final and binding upon all parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Note: Aevum Zenth may elect to arbitrate disputes before any other internationally recognized institution if required by specific contractual terms or regulatory obligations in a particular jurisdiction.
4. Class Action & Jury Trial Waivers
Class Action Waiver: Except where expressly prohibited by applicable law, you and Aevum Zenth agree that any arbitration or litigation shall be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither party may join or consolidate claims with those of others, nor serve as a class representative.
Jury Trial Waiver: By agreeing to this Policy, both parties expressly waive any right to a trial by jury in connection with any litigation arising from or relating to our business relationship.
5. Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights, trade secrets, or confidential information. Additionally, small claims proceedings or matters specifically mandated to be heard in public court by local law shall be exempt from the arbitration requirement.
6. Legal Proceedings Costs
Each party shall bear its own legal costs and expenses, except where the arbitrator or court awards costs to the prevailing party in accordance with the applicable rules of procedure. Aevum Zenth reserves the right to seek full recovery of attorneys' fees, court costs, and investigative expenses in cases involving bad-faith litigation, frivolous claims, or breach of contract.
7. Amendments & Severability
Aevum Zenth reserves the right to modify this Governing Law & Disputes Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated via official legal notices, platform updates, or direct correspondence to designated corporate contacts. If any provision of this Policy is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
