to first discuss the matter informally with the Company for at least 30 days. To do that,
you must give us written notice, which will include your full name and contact information,
the nature and basis giving rise to your dispute or claim and your proposed resolution, sent
to Suite 2910A, 29/F, Skyline Tower, 39 Wang Kwong Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, for the
attention of: General Counsel.

difference or claim arising out of or relating to your use of the EV Websites or any of its
content, or submission of Submitted Materials or under this Agreement, including the
existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any
dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it shall be
referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International
Arbitration Centre ("HKIAC") under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules
in force when the Notice of Arbitration (as defined therein) is submitted and as may be
amended by this section.
The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three
arbitrators. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the seat of the
arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and
binding upon the disputing parties. Any person to an award may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of
such award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any
court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defences to such enforcement based on lack of
personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.
Any person may, to the extent
permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where the application is made, seek interim
equitable relief, including an action seeking injunction or specific performance from a
court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this
Agreement is governed by the laws of Hong Kong, a court or authority hearing an application
for interim equitable relief may apply the procedural law of the jurisdiction where the
court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim equitable
relief. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is only applicable to the seeking of
interim equitable relief and does not restrict the application of this section in any way.
