10.3 Mediation
In the event that communication between buyers and sellers is unsuccessful in resolving a dispute, Peddlon may offer mediation services.

12. Governing Law 12.1 These terms and conditions are governed by and construed per the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and do not take into consideration any principles of law from other jurisdictions.
12.2 In the event of a dispute, arbitration will be employed to resolve the matter. The arbitration will not be subject to any state arbitration laws but instead will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. This means that the arbitration will be subject to federal laws, regulations, and procedures rather than any specific state laws that might otherwise apply.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single commercial arbitrator, who will be chosen from the Nigeria Arbitration and Conciliation Act. The selected arbitrator will be experienced in resolving commercial contract disputes and will have the expertise required to ensure a fair and impartial outcome for all parties involved.
Per the terms and conditions, the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will govern the arbitration unless the parties agree in writing to a different set of rules. The Rules and Procedures will include guidelines on how the arbitration will be conducted, what evidence will be admissible, and what criteria the arbitrator will use to determine the outcome.
Additionally, if the arbitrator deems them relevant to the case at hand, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will also be applicable. These procedures are designed to provide additional protection to consumers and ensure that disputes are resolved fairly and transparently.
Finally, any modifications to the Rules and Procedures will be made as per the terms and conditions of the agreement. The goal is to ensure that the arbitration is conducted in a fair and impartial manner and that all parties involved have the opportunity to present their case and receive a just outcome.
