14.1 Disputes between Users and Merchants

We will not intervene or assist in any dispute between a User or a Merchant. All such disputes are to be dealt with in accordance with the Merchant’s terms of sale. 

14.2 Disputes between Users and Merchants



  1. If a dispute arises out of or relates to these Merchant Terms as between us and a Merchant, neither party may commence legal proceedings (except proceedings seeking interlocutory relief) unless it has complied with this clause 14.2. A party claiming that a dispute has arisen must notify the other party to the dispute giving details of the dispute.
  2. After notice of a dispute is given each party to the dispute must cooperate and take all reasonable steps necessary to resolve the dispute, including engaging in negotiations to resolve the dispute.
  3. Mediation:
    1. if the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 14 days (Initial Period), each party agrees that the dispute must be referred for mediation to a mediator agreed on by the parties.
    2. if the parties are unable to agree on a mediator within 7 days, then the parties must submit the dispute for mediation through the Law Society of Western Australia and have the President of that Law Society appoint a Mediator and set the matter for mediation.
    3. The role of the mediator is to assist in negotiating a resolution of the dispute.  A mediator may not make a decision that is binding on a party unless that party has so agreed in writing.
    4. Each party must pay its own costs of complying with this clause 14.2(c). The parties must pay equally the costs of any mediator engaged.
    5. The mediation will be held in Western Australia, Australia.
  4. After the Initial Period, a party that has complied with this section may terminate the dispute resolution process by giving notice to the other party. A party will only be entitled to pursue other remedies available to it at law or otherwise, if the parties have failed to resolve the dispute within 30 days after commencement of dispute resolution.
  5. All communications concerning negotiations made by the parties in connection with this dispute resolution clause are confidential and to the extent possible, must be treated as “without prejudice” negotiations for the purpose of applicable law of evidence.
