(A) MANDATORY ARBITRATION:
  • DISPUTE NOTIFICATION

In the case of disputes, controversies or claims involving FUNEX: You and FUNEX agree to resolve any claims relating to this Agreement (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 Arbitrate Agreement below. You agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any claims by contacting us on our website / mobile / desktop applications.

You can contact us and raise a ticket on https://exchange-support.funexcoin.com/sendtickets.

  • ARBITRATE AGREEMENT

In the case of disputes, controversies or claims involving FUNEX: You and FUNEX agree to resolve any claims relating to this Agreement (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 Arbitrate Agreement below. You agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any claims by contacting us on our website / mobile / desktop applications or by contacting us via the link address given above in section (a).

If we are not able to resolve your claims within 90 days of receiving the notice, you may seek relief through arbitration or in the Small Claims Tribunals of Singapore (“SCT”), as set forth below.

  • PROCEDURE OF ARBITRATION

Either you or FUNEX may submit a dispute (after having made good faith efforts to resolve such dispute) 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.

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.

  • EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATE AGREEMENT

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.

(B) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL & CLASS ACTION

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, as applicable, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.

In the event any litigation should arise between you and FUNEX in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND FUNEX WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

  • WAIVER OF CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS
