If a dispute arises out of or relates to these Terms and Conditions, either party may not commence any legal proceedings in relation to the dispute, unless the following clauses have been complied with (except where urgent interlocutory relief is sought).

A party to these Terms and Conditions claiming a dispute (the Dispute) has arisen under these Terms and Conditions, must give written notice to the other party detailing the nature of the Dispute, the desired outcome and the action required to settle the Dispute (‘the Notice’).

If the Dispute remains unresolved 21 days after serving the Notice, both parties must either mutually agree upon a mediator or request the appointment of a mediator by the President of the Law Society of Queensland. The mediation is to take place in Queensland, with the specific venue to be mutually agreed upon.

The costs for the mediator and the venue are to be shared equally between the parties. Each party is responsible for their own costs associated with the mediation. All mediation-related discussions are to be confidential and conducted on a ‘without prejudice’ basis.

If the Dispute is not resolved after the mediation, either party may institute legal proceedings concerning the subject matter of the Dispute.
