General Provisions

Updates to Terms: The Company reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be communicated through email to your last known email address or by posting on the Website. It’s your responsibility to keep your email address updated. Changes become effective 30 days after notification by either method, immediately for new users.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement: It’s crucial to read this section carefully as it impacts your rights, including mandatory arbitration and a waiver for class-action lawsuits. All claims and disputes related to the Terms or the Company’s services must be resolved through individual binding arbitration, unless otherwise agreed upon. Arbitration will be conducted in English and governed by specific rules that both you and the Company agree to abide by.

Arbitration Procedures: Claims will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through procedures agreed upon by both parties, following the rules of an established ADR provider like the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Arbitration may be non-appearance-based for claims under $10,000; otherwise, procedures allow for a hearing. Decisions by the arbitrator are final and binding.

Class Action Waiver and Confidentiality: Arbitration must be conducted on an individual basis, and you waive any right to participate in class-action lawsuits or class-wide arbitration. The arbitration process is confidential, with certain exceptions as required by law.

Severability and Waiver: If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not affect the remainder of the agreement, which will remain in effect. Rights under this agreement may be waived only in writing.

Survival: This Arbitration Agreement will outlast the termination of your relationship with the Company. Small claims court actions and emergency equitable relief are exceptions to mandatory arbitration. Certain types of claims may also be excluded from arbitration.

Jurisdiction and Compliance with Laws: The Website adheres to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to foreign regulations. You agree to comply with all such laws regarding the transfer of technology and data. Any legal proceedings not subject to arbitration will be brought in Netherlands County, California, USA.

Electronic Communications: By using the Website or communicating electronically, you consent to receive communications from the Company in electronic form.

Entire Agreement: These Terms represent the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the Website. Failure by the Company to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right. Invalid or unenforceable provisions will be adjusted to the extent necessary to make them valid and enforceable.

Independent Contractor Status: Your relationship with the Company is that of an independent contractor, not as an agent or partner. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the Company’s prior written consent.

Binding Effect: These Terms are binding on assigned parties and governed by the laws applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within the jurisdiction.
