3. Dispute Review Process:

• The Platform will review the submitted dispute report, gather additional information if necessary, and facilitate a resolution process.

• By using the Platform, users agree that any unresolved disputes may be subject to arbitration as outlined in the Platform’s arbitration policy.

• The Platform’s primary goal is to ensure a fair, transparent, and timely resolution of disputes.

2. Decision-Making Authority:

• While the Platform facilitates mediation and arbitration, the final decision in arbitration lies with the appointed arbitrator. The Platform does not have the authority to impose resolutions but supports the enforcement of arbitration decisions.
• The Platform reserves the right to take actions necessary to enforce its policies and maintain the integrity of the Platform, which may include account suspensions or terminations for users found to be in violation of the terms and conditions.

• The Platform maintains records of all reported disputes, communications, and resolutions. This information is used to monitor compliance with Platform policies and improve dispute resolution processes.
• Users involved in disputes may request access to relevant records maintained by the Platform, subject to confidentiality and privacy considerations.
