Governing Law; Dispute Resolution (a) This Limited Guarantee shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof that would subject such matter to the Laws of another jurisdiction other than the State of New York. (b) Any disputes, actions and proceedings against any party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Limited Guarantee shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time (the “Rules”) and as may be amended by this Section 10(b). The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree on the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party 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 defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 10(b), any party may, to the extent permitted under the Laws of the jurisdiction where application is made, seek an interim injunction from a court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this Agreement is governed by the Laws of the State of New York, a court or authority hearing an application for injunctive relief may apply the procedural Law of the jurisdiction where the court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10(c) is only applicable to the seeking of interim injunctions and does not restrict the application of Section 10(b) in any way.
Commencing Dispute Resolution 13.3.1 Dispute Resolution shall commence upon one Party’s receipt of written Notice of a controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its breach. No Party may pursue any claim unless such written Notice has first been given to the other Party. There are three (3) separate Dispute Resolution methods: 13.3.1.1 Service Center Dispute Resolution; 13.3.1.2 Informal Dispute Resolution; and 13.3.1.3 Formal Dispute Resolution, each of which is described below.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration The following procedures shall be used in the resolution of disputes:
Dispute Resolution; Governing Law Any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Apple Software, or Your relationship with Apple will take place in the Northern District of California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of and exclusive venue in the state and federal courts within that District with respect any such litigation or dispute resolution. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California, except that body of California law concerning conflicts of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) If You are an agency, instrumentality or department of the federal government of the United States, then this Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America, and in the absence of applicable federal law, the laws of the State of California will apply. Further, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 10 (Indemnification)), all claims, demands, complaints and disputes will be subject to the Contract Disputes Act (41 U.S.C. §§601-613), the Xxxxxx Act (28 U.S.C. § 1346(a) and § 1491), or the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2401-2402, 2671-2672, 2674- 2680), as applicable, or other applicable governing authority. For the avoidance of doubt, if You are an agency, instrumentality, or department of the federal, state or local government of the U.S. or a U.S. public and accredited educational institution, then Your indemnification obligations are only applicable to the extent they would not cause You to violate any applicable law (e.g., the Anti-Deficiency Act), and You have any legally required authorization or authorizing statute; (b) If You (as an entity entering into this Agreement) are a U.S. public and accredited educational institution or an agency, instrumentality, or department of a state or local government within the United States, then (a) this Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the state (within the U.S.) in which Your entity is domiciled, except that body of state law concerning conflicts of law; and (b) any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Apple Software, or Your relationship with Apple will take place in federal court within the Northern District of California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of and exclusive venue of such District unless such consent is expressly prohibited by the laws of the state in which Your entity is domiciled; and (c) If You are an international, intergovernmental organization that has been conferred immunity from the jurisdiction of national courts through Your intergovernmental charter or agreement, then any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be determined by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules. The place of arbitration shall be London, England; the language shall be English; and the number of arbitrators shall be three. Upon Apple’s request, You agree to provide evidence of Your status as an intergovernmental organization with such privileges and immunities. This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
Dispute Resolution and Governing Law The Parties agree that all disputes arising pursuant to this Agreement shall be resolved by way of negotiations and discussions and with a view to an amicable settlement and mutual benefit of both Parties. Any negotiation for the settlement of dispute shall be governed by the laws of the country where such dispute arises.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution 11.1 This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of, or in connection with, it shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, English law. 11.2 Any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any related agreement (s), including any question regarding its or their existence, validity, breach, termination or enforceability, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted (the “HKIAC Rules”) which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause 11.2, except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the Parties. 11.3 The tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators. The parties to the Dispute shall each nominate one arbitrator, provided that where there are multiple claimants or multiple respondents, the multiple claimants jointly and the multiple respondents jointly shall nominate an arbitrator. The third arbitrator, who will be the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators. The chairman of the tribunal must be a solicitor or barrister qualified in England and Wales, with at least ten (10) years of experience. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the HKIAC Rules, in agreeing upon a third arbitrator, the two party-nominated arbitrators may communicate directly with each other and their respective nominating parties. If no agreement is reached upon the third arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, HKIAC shall expeditiously nominate and appoint a third arbitrator to act as chairman of the arbitral tribunal (as applicable). If the claimant or claimant parties and/or the respondent or respondent parties fail to nominate an arbitrator in accordance with this Clause 11.3 within twenty (20) Business Days after the deadline to submit the answer to the notice of arbitration, an arbitrator shall be appointed on their behalf in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. In such circumstances, any existing nomination or confirmation of an arbitrator shall be unaffected, and the remaining arbitrator(s) shall be appointed in accordance with this Clause 11.3. Each party expressly agrees and consents to this process for nominating and appointing the arbitrators. 11.4 The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. 11.5 The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. 11.6 The governing law of this arbitration agreement shall be English law. 11.7 The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties, and the parties undertake to carry out any award without delay. Except as provided in Clause 11.8, judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction over the award or over the relevant party or its assets. 11.8 Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not, and it shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, bring any action, claim or proceedings in any court in Russia (including pursuant to Articles 248.1 and 248.2 of the Arbitrazh Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) or in any other jurisdiction or dispute resolution forum other than (i) as set out in Clause 11.2 in relation to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or (ii) any enforcement proceeding in relation to an arbitral award obtained in accordance with Clause 11.2 (each such restricted action, claim or proceeding, a “Restricted Party Claim”). 11.9 Each Party hereby covenants with each other Party to hold such Party and its Affiliates harmless and on such Party’s demand to indemnify such Party and its Affiliates for and against (and hereby covenants on such Party’s demand to pay such Party and its Affiliates an amount equal to) all documented losses, liabilities, claims, actions, demands, damages or costs and expenses (including documented fees of external legal advisers) incurred by such Party or any of its Affiliates resulting from or arising out of or in connection with a Restricted Party Claim of the Party giving the covenant hereunder (or a Restricted Party Claim of an Affiliate of such Party). 11.10 Any Party to this Agreement serving a notice of arbitration shall send a copy of that notice to every other Party. Any respondent to a claim may join any other Party as a party to the arbitration, to afford that party an opportunity to defend against the claim or to assert against that party a substantially related claim. Any Party that is not already a party to the arbitration may intervene as a party to the arbitration to defend against a claim or to assert against any other Party a substantially related claim. Any joined or intervening Party shall be bound by any award rendered by the arbitration tribunal even if such Party chooses not to participate in the arbitration proceedings. Any joinder or intervention pursuant to this Clause shall be made by serving written notice on all Parties within thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice of arbitration to which the joinder or intervention relates. The arbitral tribunal shall resolve any disputes as to whether the joinder or intervention is admissible under the terms of this Clause and whether and to what extent any other pending arbitration proceedings between Parties shall be stayed or discontinued in the interest of efficiency. The tribunal’s decision shall be binding. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “claim” as used in this Clause includes any claim, counterclaim, crossclaim, or claim by or against a joined or intervening Party. 11.11 In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding relating to this Agreement or any related agreement (s). The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the two proceedings such that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.
