suggestions for improvement if needed.

were needed.
Examples of Appropriate Reviews:
● "The freelancer delivered high-quality work on time and was easy to work with."
● "The work quality was good, but clearer communication would have improved the

reflect updates or correct errors.

report it through the platform’s review reporting feature. Platform You will investigate and

20. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these
Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us
(individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to
negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least
thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written
notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms, including any question
regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the
courts of the United Arab Emirates, which, as a result of referring to it, is considered as the part
of this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). The seat, or legal place, or
arbitration shall be Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The language of the proceedings shall be
English. The governing law of these Legal Terms shall be the substantive law of the United Arab
Emirates.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties
individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other
proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action
basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to
be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other
persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning
informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or
concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute
related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use;
and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable,
then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision
found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
