Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the User Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless expressly acknowledged and agreed to by QuitGamble in writing.

You agree to resolve the grievances\dispute informally by contacting our complaint channel via Support@QuitGamble.com. We would be glad to offer prompt responses to complaints and resolutions to grievances between users. Our standby Complaint\Dispute Resolution Team will be available to respond promptly.
Note, however, in the event that you have a grievance/dispute with one or more other users of the Site, you release QuitGamble (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
Dispute Resolution And Arbitration
Read this section carefully because it requires parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief against QuitGamble. For any dispute with QuitGamble, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute amicably and informally.
All such attempts shall be resolved in accordance with the following paragraph:
[i] A Party shall give prompt written notice of any dispute to the other Party (a “Dispute Notice”). Such Dispute Notice will include sufficient details of the dispute to enable the other Party to consider its position in relation to the dispute.
[ii] Each Party agrees to use its best endeavors to settle any dispute amicably between the Parties within thirty (30) days from the date of the receipt of the Dispute Notice.
In the unlikely event that the attempt fails, you and QuitGamble agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach, termination or invalidity thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration, and not a court of law, in accordance with Part IV (Domestic Arbitration) of the Malta Arbitration Act, 1996 and the Arbitration Rules of the Malta Arbitration Centre as at present in force.
In addition to the foregoing:
In the unlikely event that the attempt fails, you and QuitGamble agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach, termination or invalidity thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration, and not a court of law, in accordance with Part IV (Domestic Arbitration) of the Malta Arbitration Act, 1996 and the Arbitration Rules of the Malta Arbitration Centre as at present in force.
In addition to the foregoing:
[iii] The appointing authority shall be the Malta Arbitration Centre;
[iv] The number of arbitrators shall be one.
[v] The place of arbitration shall be Malta;
[vi] The language(s) to be used in the proceedings shall be English;
[vii] The award shall be final and binding and there shall be no appeal;
[viii] The arbitrator shall decide ex aequo et bono;
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing QuitGamble from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights.
Notwithstanding any dispute or reference of certain disputes (or part of certain disputes) for determination by arbitration pursuant to this clause, the Parties will continue to comply with their respective obligations under these Terms.
Class Action Waiver
With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used QuitGamble for personal, or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceedings. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims.
You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and QuitGamble are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceedings of any kind. You are also precluded from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against QuitGamble by someone else.
Limitation on Claims
You and QuitGamble agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to QuitGamble and/or your use thereof must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
Waiver and Severability
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible.
Assignment
You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. We reserve the right to assign our rights to any of our affiliates or subsidiaries, or any successor in the interest of any business associated with our Services.
Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and QuitGamble with respect to the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, terms, conditions, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Site
