17. Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute"), the parties agree to the following resolution process:

The parties shall use good-faith efforts to resolve the Dispute through direct negotiation within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice. Notices should be sent to legal@21jobs.io.

Step 2: Court Proceedings

If the Dispute cannot be resolved amicably within the thirty (30) day period, either party may submit the Dispute to the competent courts of the Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
