8. Resolving disputes
8.1 Informal resolution process first

You agree to do the same for us, subsidiaries, and affiliates; In this section, (Section 8.1) the terms "8 Yellow Limited," "we," or "us" include subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors.
The party raising a dispute will initiate this process by notifying the other. Whichever party receives the notice will have 60 days to respond. If the dispute has not been resolved after the response time has expired, or within 30 days after a response has been issued, whichever is earlier, either party may file legal action against the other. Engaging in this informal dispute resolution process is a requirement that must be completed before filing any legal action. You, 8 Yellow agree that you will make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute amicably before either you, 8 Yellow Limited, along with each's affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors, files any legal action against the other, and that the statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process.
8.2 Exclusive venue
These Terms and any claims, causes of action, of any kind or character, or demand arising out of or relating to the Terms will be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without regard to conflict of law principles.

YOU AND 8 YELLOW LIMITED AGREE THAT YOU MUST INITIATE ANY PROCEEDING OR ACTION WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO A DISPUTE THAT IS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM. OTHERWISE, YOU FOREVER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, BASED ON SUCH EVENTS OR FACTS, AND SUCH CLAIM(S) OR CAUSE(S) OF ACTION ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
In short: We hope we do not get into a dispute but, if we do, there are a couple of ways we can try to resolve it.
9. Other
These Terms and any applicable Additional Terms described above are the whole legal agreement between you and 8 Yellow Limited, govern your use of the Platform. Any rights and permissions granted in them, may not be transferred or assigned by you. Our rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us without any requirement to notify you or any third party, in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale or disposition of assets, sale or transfer of equity (whether by direct or indirect ownership) or by operation of law or otherwise.
Our or your failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. If any portion of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the removal of that provision will be done to the minimum extent required to make it enforceable under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue to have full force and effect. It will not be considered a waiver of any provision or right if we or you fail to insist upon or enforce any of these Terms. In these Terms, "include" or "including" means "including but not limited to."
The Platform contains certain open-source software. Each item of open-source software is subject to its own applicable license terms.
In short: These Terms are assignable by us. Even if there is a dispute about one part of the Terms, this does not change that we both agree that the rest of these Terms, as written, are the agreement between us.
