General provisions
Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England. You hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England for the resolution of any disputes that may arise under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions, subject to the provisions regarding arbitration or mediation outlined below. However, this shall not limit any mandatory rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence, nor shall it preclude the ability to bring proceedings in other jurisdictions where required by applicable international regulations. Nothing in this section shall exclude or limit any consumer rights or protections that may be available under mandatory local laws in the country where you reside. In the event of a conflict between the governing law provision and any applicable international law, the latter shall prevail where legally required.
Disputes Resolution
In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions, or your use of the Service, we encourage you to first attempt to resolve the matter informally by contacting the Company. Should informal resolution not be possible, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation, before resorting to arbitration or court proceedings.
-
Mediation: If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree to attempt mediation with a mutually agreed mediator before any legal action is initiated. Mediation will take place in London, United Kingdom, and will be conducted in accordance with the rules of a reputable mediation institution, such as the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).
-
Arbitration: If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days, then the dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). The place of arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom. The language of the arbitration will be English, and the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties. This provision does not limit a consumer’s right to bring a claim before an English court, as required by the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
-
Exceptions to Arbitration/Mediation: Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for matters involving infringement of intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality, or other cases where a court order is necessary to protect the interests of the parties.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver
Our failure to exercise any or all of these Terms and Conditions' provisions at any point in time shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision, or affect a party's ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter.
Translation Interpretation
These Terms and Conditions may have been translated if We have made them available to You on our Service. You agree that the original English text shall prevail in the case of a dispute.
Assignment
Sequity reserves the right to assign, transfer, and subcontract its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement without any prior notification or consent required. Users shall not be permitted to assign, transfer, or subcontract any of your rights and/or obligations under these Terms. Any attempt by the User to do so without permission would be considered void. Furthermore, a person who is not a party to these Terms and Conditions shall have no right to enforce any provision contained therein.
Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions, including any legal notices and disclaimers on this Service, constitute the entire Agreement between Sequity and you concerning your use of this Website. Ultimately, this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings concerning the same.

We reserve the right, at Our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. Users wills be notified of any material changes to the Terms and Conditions via a notification on the Website and/or Social Media for 30 days prior to the change to these terms.
