Further, this arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of any government agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this terms and conditions, you and company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury.

C. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at info@totalpooltech.com If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of dispute (“notice”). The notice to company should be sent to Total Pool Tech (Pty) Ltd to the physical address that can be found on the website, or alternatively that may be provided following any enquiry sent to the abovementioned email address (“notice address”).

If company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the notice is received, you or company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or company is entitled.

G. Severability
