Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Website or to products or services sold or distributed by FindBride.com or through FindBride.com will be resolved by binding arbitration under the LCIA Rules, rather than in court. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law of this Agreement shall be the substantive law of the country of incorporation of the Company. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. Arbitrators, however, can award you the same damages and relief, and must honor the same terms in this Agreement, as a court would.

NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
    
    You will attempt to resolve all disputes with respect to the Services through communication with FindBride.com's customer service.

Please also note should you chargeback any transactions billed to your account, FindBride.com's may be required to disclose any and/or all private communications sent/received by You through our Service in order to prove the validity of the charges billed to Your account and FindBride.com's privacy policy will therefore not restrain any such disclosures.
