Except as set forth in these Terms, all fees for the Premium Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and W&D for the Premium Services until W&D accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SNS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.
9.3 Taxes. W&D's fees are net of any applicable sales or use tax. If any Premium Services, or payments for any goods or services, under this Agreement are subject to sales or use tax in any jurisdiction, Customer will be responsible for payment of such sales tax, and any related penalties or interest and will indemnify W&D for any liability or expense W&D may incur in connection with such sales or use tax.
9.4 Automatic Renewal. Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent
subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of
such period (each a "Premium Renewal Commencement Date") and continue for an additional equivalent
period, at W&D's then current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject
to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at any time prior to the Renewal
Commencement Date by logging into and going to the "Change/Cancel Membership" page of your
"Account Settings" page. If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change
or terminate your subscription, please log in and go to the "Change/Cancel Membership" page on your
"Account Settings" page. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of
your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term
expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for
the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize W&D to charge your Payment Provider
now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription,
if W&D does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your
Account upon demand, and/or (b) you agree that W&D may either terminate or suspend your subscription
and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of
payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription
commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received.)
9.5 Disputes. You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement, if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to: vendorsupport@weddingindubai.com.
10. Indemnification.

This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. You hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts for the county in which W&D's principal place of business is located for any lawsuit filed against you by W&D arising from or related to this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

17.8 Arbitration.
(a) Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with this Agreement where the total amount of the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such arbitration will be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider ("ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Agreement. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party will not unreasonably withhold consent to use such ADR Provider. The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all arbitration proceedings will be held in English; (3) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party will bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, W&D may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located may be different from New York law, including the laws governing what can legally be sold, bought, exported, offered or imported. You will always comply with all the international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations and statutes that re applicable to your use of the Website and the Services.
(b) Any other Dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) will be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Rules") and will be administered by the New York, New York office of JAMS (the "Administrator"). To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions set forth in this section and any procedural or other rules issued by the Administrator, this section will control. The location of the arbitration will be New York, New York. The Dispute(s) will be submitted to a single arbitrator ("Arbitrator") chosen by the parties or selected by the parties from a list of potential arbitrators provided by the Administrator. The Administrator will provide such list to the parties 10 days after a request by either party. Should the parties be unable to agree on a choice of an Arbitrator within 10 days after receipt of the list from the Administrator, then the Administrator will select the Arbitrator. The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. Each party will bear its own attorney's fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator; provided, however, the Arbitrator will be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorney's fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed by Section 12 of this Agreement. Judgment on the award of the Arbitrators may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator also will be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by New York law or United States Federal law.
(c) By using the Website or the Services in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration provision. IN DOING SO, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND ANY CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND W&D (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL-CLAIMS COURT). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the Arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
17.9 Choice of Language. It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms and all related documents have been drawn up in English.
17.10 Notice. Where W&D requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing W&D with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to W&D is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/permitted by these Terms, W&D's dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. Any notice that you are required to provide to W&D under these Terms, you may give at the following address: legal@weddingindubai.com or Wedding in Dubai, Inc., 175 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014, Attn: Legal Department. Such notice will be deemed given when received by W&D.
17.11 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
17.12 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
17.13 Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer W&D Materials except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained W&D Materials, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, W&D Materials may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Person's List or Entity List. By using W&D Materials, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use W&D Materials for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology provided by W&D are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States. You will comply with these laws and regulations and will not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer W&D products, services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations.
17.14 Consumer Complaints. In accordance with California Civil Code 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
17.15 Entire Agreement. These Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
18. International Provisions. The following provisions will apply only if you are located in the countries listed below.
18.1 United Kingdom. A third party who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of such third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.
18.2 Germany. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12, W&D is also not liable for acts of simple negligence (unless they cause injuries to or death of any person), except when they are caused by a breach of any substantial contractual obligations (vertragswesentliche Pflichten).
