Dispute Resolution

In the event of any concerns or disputes arising from a donation, both the donor and Sahegaami are committed to open and transparent communication. We encourage donors to reach out to our designated contact person Zarina Ahmed (zarina@sahegaami.in) to discuss and resolve any issues informally. If not resolved, next step would be to move for meditation, and arbitration. In the unlikely event that arbitration does not resolve the dispute, both parties acknowledge and agree that any legal action shall be brought in the appropriate courts of India, Uttar Pradesh Jurisdiction. Each party shall be responsible for its own legal costs.
