2. Where no monetary claim is specified or the amount in dispute is not clear at the time of application for mediation, the Center shall determine the amount of mediation fee to be collected in advance based on factors such as the specific rights and interests involved in the dispute, the complexity of the dispute, etc.
3. If the mediation fee is charged in a foreign currency, an amount of the foreign currency equivalent to the corresponding RMB value specified in this schedule shall be paid.
4. The Center may charge other necessary expenses such as travel expenses of domestic or foreign mediators, rental of foreign mediation venues, etc., as needed to mediation.
5. If the parties and the mediator have agreed otherwise on the remuneration of the mediator, the agreement shall prevail, subject to the approval of the Center.

If the mediation fails, the Center may issue a refund of the relevant fees as appropriate by considering factors such as the workload of the mediation, the amount in dispute, the complexity of the dispute, etc., provided that the administrative fee collected is no less than RMB 1,000 Yuan and the remuneration of the mediator is no less than RMB 6,000 Yuan.
9. If the parties first apply to the Center for mediation and after that fail to reach a settlement, then the parties subsequently submit a request for arbitration to the SCIA, the mediation fees already paid shall be offset against the corresponding amount of arbitration fees.
