Foreword

Due to the fact that the Trust is within its own jurisdiction, it must have the facilities in which to process disputes.
The dispute resolution contained herein fullfils this need. It can be amended at any time by the Board of Trustees via the decision-making process on the Trust's website.
This dispute resolution process applies to all contracts between the Trust and the Trustees including its agent Trustees. It also applies to matters between Trustees themsleves when involving Trust matters.
When the Trust needs to contract within any other jurisdiction, this dispute resolution process must be used. The Trust will never compromise itself by accepting dispute resolution processes of any other jurisdictions.
To avoid being subjected to another juridistion and still be able to operate within it, the Trust must use Trustees as contracted agents using this dispute resolution process.
For example, the Trust cannot have a direct link with any Bank account within any other jurisdiction. Having access to a bank account outside the Trust's jurisdiction is only possible via a contracted agent Trustee who may open a Bank account in the agent's name for the contracted purpose of managing specific funds of the Trust.
Another example could be that the Trust purposely contracts with agent Trustees to establish a commercial business within any number of jurisdictions - such as a TV network.
A contract could be voided if a Trustee under contract with this Trust is suspended.

Prelude to Dispute Resolution Clause

The Parties (the Trustees) hold a strong desire to clearly and unmistakably define the nature of this Contract. It is the intent of these Parties to create, within their sovereign capacity, a non-state related jurisdiction in order to carry out the mission of United People Virtual World Government Trust. This includes the reduction of the complexity, cost and length of the dispute resolution process while maintaining its integrity and giving offense to no one.

The Members/Trustees of the United People Virtual World Government Trust feel very strongly about their religious freedoms.

The Trustees agree to adopt a higher degree of love, tolerance, and respect for others - regardless of their individual races, faiths, beliefs and sexual orientations.

It is in the Sovereign capacity of the Trustees to contract and provide a dispute resolution procedure within a jurisdiction created specifically for the Virtual World Government Trust and their Trustee sub-contractors or agent Trustees. This will free the sovereign people from the other court systems and their extreme complexity, time consumption, costs and aggressiveness.

The inclusion of all faiths in this Contract eliminates the need to specifically define each one. This Contract is based upon the "Spirit of Love", as each Party, independently of the others, defines it. Therefore, this Contract is considered by the Parties to form a spiritually based inter-faith alliance including those of all faiths and those who profess no faith. Participation in this alliance enhances rather than compromises one's faith or belief.

The Parties hold the strong belief that their methods, customs and religious practices are antecedent (existing prior) to any state-sponsored constitution and are relevant and applicable. Based upon this belief, along with the various constitutional protections of freedom of religion and the unalienable right to contract in each Party's state of domicile, the Parties reserve the right to establish the specific jurisdiction of their contracts that reflects this belief. This alliance seeks to establish a new inter-faith planetary jurisdiction that encompasses individual sovereign human beings regardless of their differences.

The Parties, in their sovereign capacity, can directly engage in international affairs at their rightful position above all nations - individually and collectively. Within this new planetary jurisdiction the Parties create a dispute resolution system using common principles among all Parties that are in harmony with each other. These procedures strictly apply to contract-related disputes only, and do not apply to disputes that the states and/or nations reserve the right to hear and settle. A Party's failure to comply with the terms of this Contract does not negate the authority of the Contract and/or the implicit jurisdiction it creates. Such a failure may simply result in the affected Party's forced resignation as a Member/Trustee.

Dispute Resolution Clause

1. This clause provides a framework for the "finding of facts" (substantive law) and the "enforcement of decisions" (adjective law) in the form of a series of spiritual courts culminating in the highest court in the framework. In order to be non-prejudicial to those of various faiths or non-faiths, this framework encompasses, and includes by reference, all faiths, their respective organizations, and all specific tenets or doctrines of said faiths -- both written and/or unwritten.

2. All Parties to this Contract voluntarily enter into it. Each Party herein has expressed sincere convictions regarding his or her spiritual beliefs as they apply to each Party's interpretation of the term "Spirit of Love." This the Parties do without the need of atorneys or other secular legal representation. Parties include their email addresses as part of this Contract. Any changes to any of the Parties' email address, must be made known to the Trust. The term of this contract shall be perpetual, and it shall be terminated subject to the consent of the Member/Trustees.

3. Concerning performance, the Parties believe as follows: the Spirit of Love is the intermediary between one Party and another to whom each Party is accountable; the Spirit of Love accepts the burden of receiving promises of performance from the Parties and making determinations concerning that performance; any reference to the word "breach" in this Contract implies a direct breach against the Spirit of Love and not a direct breach against another Party; the Spirit of Love authorizes the Court of Arbitration to receive the determination of performance from the Spirit of Love and hold the Parties accountable to that determined performance on behalf of the Spirit of Love; the Court of Arbitration is authorized to transfer all rights to awards from the Spirit of Love, to whom they are originally intended, to the prevailing Parties; therefore, the Arbitrator will understand that he or she is dealing with individuals and not the Spirit.

4. Within this Contract, the Party(s) initiating the written dispute will be referred to as the "Accuser(s)", and the responding Party(s) will be referred to as the "Accused(s)".

5. Any dispute that is to be settled under the terms of this Contract will proceed as follows:
first, the Accuser will inform the Accused(s) in writing within the issue or proposition forum in which the offense took place and attempt to remedy the dispute. This action will be referred to as the "Court of the Parties". If the dispute has not been resolved in this first initial brief communication, then the Accuser must create a new thread within the appropriate Issue forum or add a comment in the applicable administrative log book entry for the specific purpose of resolving the conflict with the help of any other Trustees who wish to participate as mediators. This will be referred to as the Court of Mediation.
The accuser must give notice to the Accused on the appropriate forum that this new thread has been created for this purpose and invite him or her to participate.
If the Accused fails to respond within 30 days to this written invitation to Mediation, or refuses to participate in the Mediation, the Accuser may proceed to the highest court, referred to as the "Court of Arbitration" in which the Accuser must bring the matter before the appropriate Integrity Panel within the Trust for remedy as per the guidelines established in this clause.
A member of the Integritry Panel will act as the dispute supervisor. The dispute supervisor validates the dispute, appoints the dispute Arbitrator and validate the settlement by the Arbitrator.
The dispute Supervisor may appoint a new arbitrator at anytime during the arbitration.
The period of time allowed for the validation and appointment is 10 days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute and fees if applicable.
The Parties agree that if any one of them fails to agree upon a voluntary settlement based upon the finding of facts by the Arbitrator, the determination of damages and its enforcement may be sought as defined in paragraph 20 of this dispute resolution clause. An Arbitrator's decision has to be validated by a member of the applicable Integrity Panel and may be challenged at the Supreme Judicial Court of the United People Virtual World Government Trust.
The Supreme Judicial Court of the United People Virtual World Government Trust consists of the Trust's collective body of Trustees.
The Trustees, according to the same rules as apply to all other issues submitted by Trustees on the www.upworldgov.org web site, reserve the right to hear or not hear such an appeal. A Party appeals to the Supreme Judicial Court by submitting an issue to the appropriate area. The appeal itself will be in the form of a proposition within that issue.

6. The Accuser shall send on the web site a "Notice of Dispute" to the appropriate Integrity Panel. If arbitration fees are required by the Integrity Panel, they shall be paid directly to the Integrity Panel. The payment of this fee is to be paid by the Accuser, and these fees must be paid at the time the Complaint is submitted.

7. The "Notice of Dispute" is a brief notice to the affected Parties that a dispute is being filed with the Integrity Panel. The Parties will be notified of the validated dispute by the dispute Supervisor at the time of validation.
The arbitration will take place online.
Trustee witnesses may be invited by the Parties and the Arbitrator to take part in the arbtration.
The length of the arbitration is 30 days extendable at the discretion of the arbitrator.
All Trustees may observe any arbitration process but only the Parties, Arbitrator and invited witnesses are allowed to participate in the arbitration.
Each Party is responsible for monitoring their e-mail regardless of business trips, vacations, etc.
Once the Parties have been notified by the Superviser of the dispute validation, the notice will be considered complete.

8. The Arbitrator is also bound by and agrees to perform his/her duties under the dispute resolution jurisdiction as defined.

9. Once the dispute Supervisor is satisfied that the first two requirements of this dispute resolution process have been met, the Superviser may give a title to the dispute and validate the Notice.

10. The Accuser(s) understands that damages must be proven by a preponderance of evidence and may not be merely speculative in nature.

11. Upon receipt of the notice, the Parties have the responsibility to participate in the arbitration forum online.

12. Additional Accusers may be added at the discretion of the Supervisor at anytime during the arbitration.

13. The decision of the Arbitrator will be made at any time within the period of arbitration. The dispute is officially closed once the settlement has been validated by the supervisor.

14. Any changes in the requirements for written notices, answers, decisions, etc., which are set forth in this Contract due to complexities, must be approved as a planetary issue by all the trustees .

15. All settlements once validated by the dispute Supervisor will be final and binding on all Parties. The Arbitrator must keep in mind that it is their duty to determine the facts of the case and assign or determine damages. The Parties may send another Notice of Dispute asking to re-open the dispute if the settlement has not been fully honored. The Supervisor will re-open the dispute and re-appoint an arbitrator to negotiate a successful settlement which may include an increased penalty. Failure to comply with the settlement may result in the suspension of membership from the Trust of the offending Party.

16. If payments or transfers of property are conditions of the voluntary settlement, the affected Party(s) who is obligated to pay or transfer property will do so voluntarily within the time frame set by the Arbitrator. If Parties reach a voluntary settlement prior to the end of the Arbitration session, it shall be binding on all Parties in the same manner as if the Arbitrator had made a decision. In such a case, the Arbitration session shall end immediately upon presentation of the agreement to the Arbitrator, and the Arbitrator shall issue a formal decision based upon that settlement.

17. The Arbitrator is free to consider any evidence that is presented, including hearsay evidence, and give it whatever weight deemed appropriate.

18. All declarations, affidavits, testimonies that are submitted to the Arbitrator shall be given by their author as the truth. If this trust is found to be violated, the offender will be confronted as per the conditions of this Contract, and upon the second violation, may be suspended as a member of the Trust.

19. The Arbitrator shall publish the decision at the proper location on the website. All Parties hereby indemnify and hold the Arbitrator and Integrity Panel harmless with respect to performing their duties for any dispute arising herein. However, the Arbitrator and the Integrity Panel are completely responsible for their actions under the terms of this same Contract, as are all the Parties.

20. All decisions made by an Arbitrator under the terms of this Contract are final; however, an Arbitrator's decision may be challenged at the Supreme Judicial Court of the United People Virtual World Government Trust. The Parties still have the responsibility to reach an independent settlement based upon those found facts. If a Party does not accept the Arbitrator's settlement as final, that Party is to be considered a defaulting Party and upon notice to the Arbitrator of the default, the Arbitrator can suspend the membership of the defaulting Party. No appeals from the Arbitrator(s) decisions or the Supreme Judicial Court of the United People Virtual World Government Trust within the jurisdiction of this Trust may be made in any secular court of any kind anywhere on Earth.

21. If the Arbitrator makes a decision in favor of the Accused, the Arbitrator must also issue a statement as to whether he/she believes that the filing of the Complaint was frivolous. If the Accuser(s) is found to have filed a frivolous Complaint under the terms of this Contract, the Arbitrator may decide to suspend the Accuer(s) at fault. The dispute Supervisor must notify the administrator of the United People Virtual World Government Trust web site when a determination of a frivolous complaint is made.
