DISPUTE & JURISDICTION
A two-step alternative dispute resolution method will be used to settle all claims brought up by this policy, including but not limited to claims about compensation, refunds and rights negotiation. The first step includes reconciliation through a mediator/ middleperson. If a dispute arises, the subject will be initially tried to be handled by a solo mediator, who is a neutral third person and will be chosen once both sides agree on a suggested mediator. Both parties can suggest a name for solo mediator, and if both parties agree, the recommended name will be appointed as the sole mediator. In case, if the parties cannot come to an agreement within the two recommended mediators, the Company maintains the right to choose the final mediator as deemed fit. The mediator's judgment is not binding on both parties, but the parties will strive to abide by it in good faith. The second step includes the negotiation/ arbitration process. If mediation fails to produce a satisfactory or favored outcome for either party, arbitration may be used, with the award binding on both parties. The Arbitration Board will be made up of three members, one appointed by each side and the third by mutual consent of the two appointed members. The arbitration will take place in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English. Both parties are obligated by the arbitrator's ruling once it is issued. If alternative dispute resolution fails to resolve the problem, the case would be taken before a Dhaka court.
