The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Cheerio Technologies Private Limited and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Cheerio Technologies Private Limited may commence an arbitration proceeding.

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief.
