Hong Kong Concerned Government department in writing and request arbitration
of the dispute. The arbitration will be based only on written submissions
of the parties and the documents submitted to the Hong Kong Concerned
Government department relating to the dispute, unless either party requests
that the arbitration be conducted using the Hong Kong Concerned Government

may apply for these procedures. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted
at a location the Hong Kong Concerned Government department selects in
Hong Kong. Arbitrations under this Agreement shall be confidential as
permitted by Hong Kong law. However, by filing for arbitration, you may
elect to relieve both parties to the arbitration of confidentiality obligations.

any and all prior or contemporaneous statements, understandings, writings,
commitments, or representations concerning its subject matter.
11. SEVERABILITY
