16.3 Dispute Resolution
The parties agree to resolve disputes as follows:
Step 1 — Negotiation: The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. Either party may initiate negotiations by providing written notice to the other party describing the dispute. The parties shall negotiate for a period of at least [30] days from the date of such notice.

Mediation costs shall be shared equally.
Step 3 — Arbitration or Litigation: If the dispute is not resolved through mediation within [60] days:
- For enterprise Customers: Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by AFSA (or, for Customers outside Africa, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)) under its then-current rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The seat of arbitration shall be Johannesburg, South Africa, unless otherwise agreed. The arbitral award shall be final and binding and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

- Nothing in these Terms shall deprive any Customer of mandatory consumer protections, data protection rights, or other non-waivable statutory rights available under the laws of their jurisdiction of residence or principal place of business.

These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights, except that Apollo Deploy's affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of Apollo Deploy's rights under these Terms.
