24. Governing Law and Tiered Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally and in good faith. You agree to notify the Company in writing of any dispute by contacting the Company at its designated legal contact address and providing a brief description of the dispute and the relief sought. The Company will use reasonable efforts to respond within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. No mediation or arbitration may be initiated unless this informal resolution process has been attempted in good faith.

If the dispute is not resolved through informal discussions within thirty (30) days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed mediator. Unless otherwise agreed, mediation shall be conducted remotely or within the United States, shall be confidential, and each party shall bear its own costs, with the mediator's fees shared equally. If the dispute is not resolved through mediation within sixty (60) days of the mediator's appointment, either party may proceed to binding arbitration.

Any dispute not resolved through informal resolution or mediation shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration institution in the United States and conducted by a single arbitrator in the English language. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, including any questions regarding their interpretation, applicability, or enforceability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any right to bring claims in court or to have a jury trial, except where such waiver is prohibited by applicable law.

Nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, or platform security. You waive any objection to venue or forum based on inconvenience or forum non conveniens.

25. General Provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign these Terms without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may assign these Terms freely.
