  1. OUR SERVICES

The information provided through the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation, or which would subject us to any registration requirement within that jurisdiction or country.

  1. Governing Law

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, which are applicable to agreements made and entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.


  1. Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations:
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute related to these Legal Terms (each a “Dispute”), both you and we agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. These informal negotiations begin upon written notice from one Party to the other.


Binding Arbitration:
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations (except those Disputes expressly excluded below), it will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. You understand that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), available at the American Arbitration Association website. The location of arbitration will be in the United States, California.


If, for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, it shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in the United States, California. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Any Dispute related to the Services must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arose.


Restrictions:
The Parties agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. No arbitration will be joined with any other proceeding, and there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures. Additionally, there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.


Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration:
The following Disputes are not subject to the informal negotiations and binding arbitration provisions: (a) Disputes related to the enforcement, protection, or validity of intellectual property rights; (b) Disputes arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) claims for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion, and it will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above.

Please note that it is essential to consult the full text of these Legal Terms for a comprehensive understanding of the information they contain.
