9. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

Any dispute or difference, whether contractual or non-contractual, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination shall: –

    1. Unless otherwise agreed to as between the parties in writing, first be referred to mediation under the Mediation Rules of The Law Society of Hong Kong. If the mediation is terminated (as defined in the Mediation Rules of The Law Society of Hong Kong), without the dispute or difference having been resolved, within 21 days after such termination, any party may refer the dispute or difference to arbitration for final resolution.
    2. Where following mediation in accordance with preceding clause above, the parties are unable to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of the Disputes, except insofar as the parties elect to enforce this Agreement by judicial process or injunction as provided in the preceding Articles hereof, the Disputes must be submitted to be finally resolved by arbitration in Hong Kong in accordance with UNICITRAL Arbitration Rules for the time being in force. The arbitration shall be administered by Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) in accordance with its Practice Note on UNICITRAL cases. The tribunal will consist of one arbitrator nominated by The Hong Kong Web3 Association and shall not be unreasonably objected to by the counter party. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
    3. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed with, the laws of Hong Kong (without giving effect to principles of conflicts or choices of law).
    4. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, 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. Any arbitration against Coinllectibles or its associates 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 time period. This one-year limitation period is inclusive of the internal dispute resolution including the mandatory mediation procedure set forth in the preceding paragraph of this section, above. There shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
    5. A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Chapter 623) (or any similar law, regulation or rule in any jurisdiction) to enforce any term of this Agreement.
