Resolving Disputes: Forum, Arbitration, Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT INVOLVES A WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS TO BRING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLASS ACTION.
Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period. Please get in touch with Onschain first! Onschain would like to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings. If you have a dispute with Onschain, you should contact Onschain and a ticket number will be assigned. Onschain will attempt to resolve your dispute internally as soon as possible. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the conflict (which discussions shall remain confidential and be subject to applicable rules protecting settlement discussions from use as evidence in any legal proceeding).
If the dispute cannot be resolved satisfactorily, and you wish to assert a legal claim against Onschain, then you agree to set forth the basis of such claim in writing in a “Notice of Claim” as a form of prior notice to Onschain. The Notice of Claim must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, (2) set forth the specific relief sought, (3) provide the original ticket number, and (4) include your Onschain account email. The Notice of Claim should be submitted to an email address or hyperlink provided in your correspondence with Onschain. After you have provided the Notice of Claim to Onschain, the dispute referenced in the Notice of Claim may be submitted by either Onschain or you to arbitration by paragraph 2 of this Section below. To avoid doubt, submitting a dispute to Onschain for resolution internally and delivering a Notice of Claim to Onschain are prerequisites to the commencement of an arbitration proceeding (or any other legal proceeding). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Onschain shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
Agreement to Arbitrate and Governing Law. You and Onschain Operators agree that subject to paragraph 1 above, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Onschain (and Onschain Operators) arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with Onschain (and Onschain Operators) as a user of Onschain Services (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) will be determined by mandatory final and binding individual (not class) arbitration, except as set forth below under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Onschain Operators further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on their jurisdiction, including without limitation any objections concerning the existence, scope, or validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including, if applicable, attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of anyone but the parties to the arbitration. The arbitration provisions outlined in this Section will survive the termination of these Terms—Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be subject to the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules (HKIAC. Rules) in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted, as modified by this Section X. The arbitration will be administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC). Unless the parties agree otherwise, only one arbitrator shall be appointed per the HKIAC Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Regardless of how the arbitration is completed, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
JUDGMENT ON ANY ARBITRAL AWARD MAY BE GIVEN IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTY (OR OVER THE ASSETS OF THE PARTY) AGAINST WHOM SUCH AN AWARD IS RENDERED. Time for Filing: ANY ARBITRATION AGAINST ONSCHAIN OPERATORS MUST BE COMMENCED BY FILING A REQUEST FOR ARBITRATION WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE THE PARTY ASSERTING THE CLAIM FIRST KNOWS OR REASONABLY SHOULD KNOW OF THE ACT, OMISSION OR DEFAULT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; AND THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT TO ANY REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM NOT ASSERTED WITHIN THAT period.
THIS ONE-YEAR LIMITATION PERIOD IS INCLUSIVE OF THE INTERNAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE SET FOOUTLINED INRAPH 1 OF THIS SECTION, ABOVE THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT TO ANY REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM NOT ASSERTED WITHIN THAT TIME PERPERIOD applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time perperioded by applicable law. Process; Notice: The party intending to seek arbitration after the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period outlined in paragraph 1 above must submit a request to the HKIAC per the HKIAC Rules. If we ask for arbitration against you, we will let you know at the email address or mailing address you have provided. You agree that any information sent to this email or mailing address shall be considered adequate for all purposes, including determinations of the adequacy of service. You must ensure that the email and mailing address on file with Onschain are up-to-date and accurate. The seat of Arbitration: The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. Place of Hearing: The location of any in-person arbitration hearing shall be Singapore unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Governing Law: These Terms (including this arbitration agreement) shall be governed by, and construed by, the laws of Singapore. Confidentiality. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential.

Notwithstanding the preceding, a party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that disclosure may be required to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings. This confidentiality provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any arbitration brought under these Terms.
Class Action Waiver
You and Onschain agree that any claims relating to these Terms or your relationship with Onschain as a user of Onschain Services (whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) shall be brought against the other party in arbitration on an individual basis only and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class or representative action. You and Onschain further agree to waive any right for such claims to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class, collective, expected, or private attorney general action to the extent permissible by applicable law.
