11. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

11.1 Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the App shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of CA, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be resolved as follows:

Informal Resolution: Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at [email protected]. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 60 days.

Binding Arbitration: If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, any dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in San Mateo, CA, or remotely via videoconference. Each party will be responsible for paying their own costs and fees.

Exceptions: Either party may bring a lawsuit in court solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the App or infringement of intellectual property rights without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process.

13.2 Waiver

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
