Governing law and dispute resolution

Governing law

All matters relating to the Services and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (including any dispute regarding the interpretation or performance of these Terms) (“Dispute”) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California, without resort to its conflict of laws provisions.

Dispute resolution

Should a Dispute arise, the complaining party shall first attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute by delivering written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (with relevant documentation) of the Dispute, and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days since the date of notice delivery to respond. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the notice is delivered, the Dispute shall be resolved by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association’s International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its Expedited Commercial Rules in force as of the date of these Terms (“Rules”). The parties will mutually select one arbitrator, and the arbitration shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, USA. The arbitration award will be final and binding on the parties and its execution may be presented in any competent court, including any court with jurisdiction over either party or any of its property.

You may not assign or transfer the Terms without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense these Terms, or any part thereof, without such consent will be null and void.
