Автор приводит классификацию споров, которые могут возникнуть в метавселенной: споры между пользователями и операторами платформ; споры между пользователями; споры по поводу интеллектуальной собственности. В первой категории автор особенно выделяет правовые конфликты, касающиеся виртуальной недвижимости, а также споры по поводу персональных данных пользователей платформ, операторы которых не могут гарантировать защиту от хакерских атак. Касательно споров между пользователями автор отмечает, что многие из них связаны с отсутствием в метавселенной какого-либо контроля за оказанием виртуальных услуг, созданием цифровых активов и совершением транзакций. Обращаясь к вопросу о применимом праве и подсудности, автор указывает, что в большинстве случаев соответствующие положения включаются в пользовательские соглашения отдельных платформ и не подлежат изменению. В статье рассмотрены три инструмента разрешения споров, возникающих в метавселенной: «традиционный» — в государственных судах или в рамках арбитража; «модифицированный», где правила судопроизводства адаптируются к специфике виртуальных правоотношений, и «децентрализованный» — в рамках онлайн-урегулирования споров, сочетающий в себе элементы блокчейна, краудсорсинга и искусственного интеллекта. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The paper examines the jurisdictional aspects of dispute resolution in the metaverse, a digital world whose key features include the use of immersive technologies (virtual reality); user representation through avatars; conducting transactions using blockchain; the existence of centralized and decentralized platforms; the availability of intangible assets and NFTs in commercial turnover. The author provides a classification of disputes that may arise in the metaverse, namely disputes between users and platform operators; disputes between users; disputes over intellectual property. In the first category, the author highlights legal conflicts related to virtual real estate, as well as disputes over the personal data of users of platforms whose operators cannot guarantee protection from hacker attacks. Regarding disputes between users, the author notes that many of them are related to the lack of any control in the metaverse over the provision of virtual services, the creation of digital assets and transactions. Turning to the question of applicable law and jurisdiction, the author points out that in most cases the relevant provisions are included in the user agreements of individual platforms and are not subject to change. The paper discusses three dispute resolution tools that arise in the metaverse: «traditional» — in state courts or in arbitration; «modified», where the rules of procedure are adapted to the specifics of virtual legal relations, and «decentralized» — in the framework of online dispute resolution, combining elements of blockchain, crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>метавселенная</kwd><kwd>договорная подсудность</kwd><kwd>арбитраж</kwd><kwd>коллизионные привязки</kwd><kwd>виртуальная реальность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>metaverse</kwd><kwd>contractual jurisdiction</kwd><kwd>arbitration</kwd><kwd>conflict of laws bindings</kwd><kwd>virtual reality</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Асосков А.
