In the event of a Dispute, you or we must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, any supporting evidence (such as communications or screenshots), and the relief requested.

An arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect. At your request or at the order of the arbitrator, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone or via video conferencing technology, and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, without oral hearings. To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, or any small claims action shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflict of laws principles.You have the right to opt out of and not to be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in these Terms. To exercise this right, you must send written notice of your decision by email to contact@guilds.finance.
