7.5 Arbitration. This Agreement and any claim or dispute of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong"), without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of another country or region's laws. Each Party agrees to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Hong Kong. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM MagicWidgets STUDIO. For any dispute with MagicWidgets Studio, you agree to first contact MAGICWIDGETS LIMITED according to the notice procedures above and attempt to resolve the dispute with MAGICWIDGETS LIMITED informally. In the unlikely event that MAGICWIDGETS LIMITED has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, the Parties each hereby 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 thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre ("HKIAC").

Each Party will be responsible for paying any HKIAC filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with HKIAC rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing MAGICWIDGETS LIMITED from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of MagicWidgets Studio’s data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
