If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also have the benefit of mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you reside, and nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such provisions.

11. Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting Swiss Homes Limited at the email address provided in Section 14.

During this period, both parties will cooperate in exchanging relevant information and will attempt to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiation within the thirty-day period, either party may pursue formal legal proceedings in the courts of England and Wales as specified in Section 10.

Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters relating to data security, intellectual property, or unauthorised access to the Website.
