18.1 Scope — this section vs. our payment provider
Purchases are processed by our payment provider. Where its own buyer terms, shown at checkout, cover a dispute about a charge or billing matter, those terms apply to it. This Section 18 governs everything else — disputes about the Service itself, your account, or Content — between you and Videmora directly.
18.2 Governing law
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service (other than a payment or billing dispute covered by Section 18.1), are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except as Section 9 preserves mandatory local consumer protections for UK, EU, Australian, and Canadian consumers.
18.3 Informal resolution
Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at the address in Section 20 and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
18.4 Arbitration (business customers only)
If a dispute between Videmora and a customer who uses the Service for business purposes is not resolved informally within 30 days, either party may refer it to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Act, 2001 (Bangladesh), before a single arbitrator, seated in Dhaka, Bangladesh, conducted in English. Individual consumers are not bound by this Section 18.4. A consumer may bring a claim in Bangladesh or in the courts of their country of habitual residence, as Section 9 provides.
18.5 Class action waiver
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND VIDEMORA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
18.6 Right to opt out
A business customer may opt out of Section 18.4's arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Section 20 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including the business name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts of Bangladesh, in Dhaka, and both parties waive any right to a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.
18.7 Courts
For any dispute not sent to arbitration under Section 18.4, the courts of Dhaka, Bangladesh, have exclusive jurisdiction. This does not limit a consumer's right under Section 9 to bring proceedings in their country of habitual residence.
