X. 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 AS A CLASS ACTION FOR RESIDENTS OF THE U.S.

1. Notification of Dispute. Please contact Binance first! Binance wants to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting Binance first through https://support.binance.com/hc/zh-cn/requests/new.

2. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Binance agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms (including any question regarding their existence, validity, termination, or any services or products provided and any representations made by us) through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. You agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any claims by contacting us as set forth in paragraph 1 above. If we are not able to resolve your claims within 60 days of receiving the notice, you may seek relief through arbitration or in the Small Claims Tribunals of Singapore (“SCT”), as set forth below.

3. Arbitration Procedure. Either you or Binance may submit a dispute (after having made good faith efforts to resolve such dispute in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 above) for final and binding resolution by arbitration under the arbitration rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”), which are deemed to be incorporated into these Terms by reference. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator to be appointed by the President of SIAC. The language of the arbitration hearings shall be English and the seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Singapore.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.

4. Exceptions. Either party may instead choose to assert the claims in the SCT if the claims fall within the jurisdiction of the SCT, and either party may seek injunctive relief or other urgent equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. However, for the avoidance of doubt, where the claims fall outside of the jurisdiction of the SCT, the claims will be referred to and finally resolved by SIAC arbitration.

5. Notice. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claims to legal@binance.com. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. For SIAC Rules and filing instructions, refer to http://www.siac.org.sg/our-rules  or call +65 6713 9777.
