We may change, add to, modify, remove, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Platform and/or Services at any time, and without prior notice or liability to you. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Platform or any Services made available thereon without notice or liability.
The Platform allows Users to interact with third party Dapps to place and make trade requests for various types of transactions (including without limitation, swaps, spot trading transactions, perps trading transactions and/or other transactions to be executed based on the occurrence or fulfilment of certain thresholds or parameters (such as where the value of a Digital Asset reaches a certain price) (“Transaction Requests”). All Transaction Requests will be conducted, processed and fulfilled (where applicable) by relevant Dapps. The Company and the Platform does not have control over such Dapps provided by Third Party Providers, and the Company and the Platform does not verify and cannot guarantee whether any Transaction Requests can be fulfilled by such Dapps provided by Third Party Providers. The Platform is not the exclusive or only means of accessing such third party Dapps. All transactions executed pursuant to any Transaction Request are final and irreversible once confirmed on the blockchain or the relevant Dapps provided by Third Party Providers, and we will not be able to cancel, stop, delay or reverse any such transaction. You acknowledge that we have no obligation to, nor will we reverse or refund any transaction even if made erroneously. It is your sole responsibility to verify the accuracy of your Transaction Requests before you submit them. Before submitting any Transaction Requests, please ensure that you fully understand the associated risks, including without limitation:
The Platform may provide you with an interface or make accessible via third party Dapps a service that enables you to deposit or stake supported Digital Assets in various Vaults which may entitle you to receive rewards and incentives (“Vault Feature”). All Vaults are operated and provided on a non-custodial basis. The Vault Feature is intended solely to facilitate your participation in the relevant Vaults and is not intended for, nor to be used for, commercial, investment or as a financial service. We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee as to the performance, strategy, profitability, yield, or risk profile of any such third party Vaults. Any projections (rewards or incentives) displayed or communicated shall be deemed non-binding, illustrative, and forward-looking in nature, and shall not form the basis of any reliance or expectation by the User. Further, any projections relating to rewards or incentives, or any rewards or incentives actually provided, may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and there is no promise that all Users will earn the same or equivalent rewards or incentives in their usage of the Vault Feature or participation in any Vaults. You acknowledge that certain third party Vaults operate by providing liquidity or funding to automated market makers or other decentralized exchange protocols. The User understands and accepts that such liquidity provision may expose deposited assets to impermanent loss, opportunity costs, slippage, and other adverse effects. We do not guarantee or offer any benefits, rewards or financial returns for the use of the Vaults.
The Platform provides a service that enables you to transfer, or “bridge”, a Digital Asset from one blockchain network to another (for example, from the Ethereum network or protocol to the RISE network or protocol). Bridging is performed through the utilization of smart contract applications which are deployed on both the blockchains. These smart contracts constitute the bridge, and they work by allowing a User to deposit and transfer a relevant Digital Asset on one blockchain network and receive a corresponding equivalent of that Digital Asset that is native to the other blockchain network, and vice-versa. You accept all risks associated with using the bridge. Bridging is an extremely novel technical area and is subject to material risks which may lead to total loss of your Digital Assets. All bridges are smart contracts that are subject to many known and unknown risks, including smart contract exploits of the actual smart contract code to produce outcomes different than those such bridges were designed to achieve, and cyberattacks intended to gain unauthorized control of the smart contracts or associated systems. Certain volume limitations of Digital Assets flowing into and out of the RISE network may be imposed on the bridge or the Platform and the Services. Some or all Users of the bridge may be subject to the limitation, which may impact the time it takes you to bridge in or out of the RISE network while using the bridge. The volume limitation is a security measure to limit harm in the event of a malicious third party-act, and it may be changed without notice. Additionally, you acknowledge the risk that the volume limitation may not be technically effective, or may even be compromised. You accept the risk that it will not function as intended and assume any losses, direct, indirect, or consequential, stemming from the volume limitations.
Before entering into any transaction on the Platform (including without limitation, making any Transaction Requests, using the Vault Feature or the bridging feature), please ensure that you fully understand the associated risks, including without limitation:
The Platform provides a dashboard and interface (the “Portfolio Dashboard”) for Users to conveniently and easily view their portfolio, holdings, performance metrics, and historical data derived from blockchain activity and user wallet connections. The Portfolio Dashboard is provided for your convenience only, and should not be relied upon solely as a singular source of truth. Information may be incomplete, inaccurate, or affected by delays, on-chain anomalies, errors, technical issues, or user misconfiguration. We disclaim responsibility for any discrepancies between actual on-chain data and the dashboard output, and the Company will not be liable to you for investment or operational decisions based on the information made available on the Portfolio Dashboard.
Information relating to Digital Assets (including but not limited to supply, volume, pricing, trends and/or value of such Digital Assets) made available on or through the Platform are obtained and/or sourced from external sources managed by Third Party Providers and has not been independently verified by the Company. The Platform aggregates and publishes publicly available information relating to the blockchain and Digital Assets in a manner and format which we feel is easy to read and understand. Such information is also independently available from other sources—for example, a person may directly review transaction history, wallet activity or wallet / account balances and on a blockchain explorer. In providing information about Digital Assets, the Platform associates or presumes the association of a relevant Digital Asset’s name, ticker, symbol or logo with a specific smart contract deployed to one or more blockchain systems. In making such associations, the Platform relies upon third-party resources which may not be accurate or may not conform to a given User’s expectations. Multiple smart contracts can utilize the same Digital Asset name, ticker, logo or symbol as one another, meaning that the name, ticker, logo or symbol of a Digital Asset does not guarantee that it is the token desired by the User or generally associated with such name, ticker, logo or symbol. Users must not rely on the name, symbol, ticker or branding of a Digital Asset on the Platform, but instead must perform your own due diligence and research, including without limitation, examining the specific smart contract associated with the name, symbol, ticker or branding and confirm that the relevant Digital Asset accords with User’s expectations. Such information shall not be considered or construed as financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any other sort of advice. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy, timeliness, quality, origin, ownership or completeness of the information made available on this Platform, and is provided only for general informative purposes, and no reliance should be placed on it. The Company shall not be responsible or liable to you for any use of, or reliance placed on, the information relating to Digital Assets. We shall not be liable for any errors, misrepresentations, or omissions in, of, and about, the information, nor for the availability of the information.
The Platform may incorporate third-party technology that enables advertising on the Platform. As part of this process, the Company and/or its authorized third party advertisers may collect standard information that is sent when your personal computer or device connects to the Internet including your Internet protocol (IP) address.
You shall ensure that your actions, conduct and behaviour in your use of the Platform comply with and abide by all the rules and guidelines imposed by the Company and/or its Third Party Providers. The Company may suspend or block your access to the Platform and/or any Services, whether for a period of time or indefinitely, in the event that you violate or fail to comply with any of such rules and guidelines. For the avoidance of doubt, although we may suspend or block your access or use of the Platform and Services, we will not block or prevent you from accessing your Digital Wallet or the Digital Assets stored thereon, unless legally required to do so by any applicable laws or regulatory, court or governmental order.
You are responsible for the protection of your real and actual identity within the Platform, and any disclosure of your real and actual identity to any other user within the Platform is at your own risk. For example, subject to availability, you are able to create and choose a username on Progress Tracking Features (defined below) of the Platform (a “Username”), and you should take care to only choose a Username that you are comfortable with (to the extent that such Username results in the disclosure of your identity). The Company and/or its Third Party Providers will not be liable or responsible for any disclosure of your real and actual identity by you within the Platform, or any loss, damage or harm arising as a result of such disclosure.

1. You retain ownership over your User Content but you hereby grant the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid up, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, right and license to use for any purpose whatsoever (whether commercial or otherwise) the User Content and all elements thereof, in any and all media, formats and forms, known now or hereafter devised.

In the event you upload or otherwise transmit to the Company any concepts, ideas, or feedback relating to the Platform, you shall not be entitled to any compensation for any such submission, unless expressly agreed between you and the Company, and the Company may freely use any such submission in any manner it deems appropriate. Any such submission by you shall not create any contractual relationship between you and the Company. Except to the extent that any such waiver is prohibited by law, you hereby waive the benefit of any provision of law known as “moral rights” or “droit moral” or any similar law in any country of the world. You represent and warrant that the User Content does not infringe upon the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other intellectual property rights or proprietary rights of any third party.
2. You further represent and warrant that you will not use or contribute User Content that is unlawful, tortious, defamatory, obscene, invasive of the privacy of another person, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, racist or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate. The Company may remove or delete any User Content and any related content or elements from the Platform at its sole discretion (including without limitation, where the Company believes that any User Content is in violation of these Terms of Use).
3. The Company does not guarantee that it will retain or store any User Content, and the Company shall not be liable or responsible to you or any third party for any inability to access or retrieve your User Content arising from any reason whatsoever (including without limitation, any loss, removal or deletion of User Content).

The Company always has the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any User Content.
You may use the Platform to link or create a Digital Wallet. The Company will not be liable or responsible for the creation of any Digital Wallet by you, and for your access and use of such Digital Wallet. You acknowledge and understand that:
1. The Company does not have control over your Digital Wallet, and cannot be liable or responsible for any activity or transaction conducted via your Digital Wallet, whether initiated through the Platform’s user interface or otherwise.
2. All actions taken or purported to be taken via your Digital Wallet (including the initiating of, or signing of, any transactions) will be automatically deemed to have been conducted and authorised by you. The Company and the Platform will not be able to verify the veracity or authenticity of such transactions or prevent such transactions from occurring.
3. In certain circumstances, such as if you lose or forget your password for your Digital Wallet, you will need to use a seed or recovery phrase to access any Digital Assets stored in your wallet (the “Seed Phrase”). You are solely responsible for the retention and security of your Seed Phrase. Your Seed Phrase is the only way to restore access to the Digital Assets stored in your Digital Wallet if you lose access to your Digital Wallet. Anyone who knows your Seed Phrase can access, transfer or otherwise deal with or dispose of your Digital Asset. If you lose your Seed Phrase, you may not be able to access, transfer or otherwise deal with or dispose of your Digital Asset. You acknowledge that certain methods of securing your Seed Phrase, such as storing it as a digital file anywhere, including on your personal device or on a cloud storage provider, increase the risk that your account or Seed Phrase will be compromised. You further acknowledge that you will not share with us nor any other third party any password or Seed Phrase that relates to your use of the Digital Wallet, and that we will not be held responsible if you do share any such password or phrase, whether you do so knowingly or unknowingly. For the avoidance of doubt, we take no responsibility whatsoever for any theft of a secret recovery phrase that involved intrusion through any means into your personal device or a cloud provider’s data repository.
4. You acknowledge and agree that we do not store and is not responsible in any way for the security of your Seed Phrase and you agree to hold us, our affiliates, representatives, agents and personnel harmless and that no such party shall be liable in any way in the event you lose your Seed Phrase and cannot access, transfer, use or otherwise deal with or dispose of your Digital Assets. You bear sole responsibility for any loss of your Digital Assets due to failure to retain and/or secure your Seed Phrase.
5. Digital Wallets provided by Third Party Providers shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Third Party Providers. The Company has no control or responsibility over Digital Wallets provided by Third Party Providers.
From time to time, the Company may provide features that track your progress or record your activity and profile on the Platform as part of the “Progress Tracking Feature”, and to incentivise, and track, your participation on our Platform and in our ecosystem. Such features may include the issuance of points, rewards, benefits and incentives (collectively, “Points”) and the allocation and assignment of levels, tiers or statuses to a User Account (collectively, “Tiers”) based on a User’s activity and participation within the Platform, and/or the conducting or issuance of various challenges, quests, mini-games or other activities that you may be able to participate in. We may also issue Points, gifts or other benefits and incentives or allocate or assign Tiers at our sole discretion (whether randomly or otherwise). The amount, type and value of any such Points, Tiers or other rewards or benefits offered, if any, may be set, modified, withheld or cancelled by the Company at any time without prior notice or liability.

Such Progress Tracking may be reset regularly, and changes in the server status (such as server maintenance or server refreshes) may result in your Progress Tracking (including all or part of your Points or Tiers or other rewards or benefits under your User Account) being reset, unsaved or lost. The Company shall not be liable or responsible to you or any third party in the event that your Progress Tracking (including all or part of your Points or Tiers or other rewards or benefits under your User Account) is reset, unsaved or lost.
From time to time, we may implement a referral reward program (“Referral Program”). This may include the issuance of unique referral links, codes or identifiers to you, which may be used by other users (the “Referred Users”) to register on the Platform or access specific features, and for which such registration shall be linked or accounted to you. Subject to the Company’s policies and eligibility criteria in force at the relevant time, you may be assigned or allocated Tiers or be issued or awarded Points, rewards or other benefits upon a valid referral, and such referral may be considered valid only if it satisfies the following conditions, and/or such other conditions as may be imposed by the Company from time to time, whether applicable to a particular referral campaign or generally:

As part of providing a rewarding trading experience, the Company may introduce, issue and grant various Points or other rewards and incentives, including without limitation, loss refunds and other trading based-bonuses or compensation, to Users who perform trades via the Platform (“Trading Incentives”). Such Trading Incentives will be introduced, issued and granted at the Company’s sole discretion, and may be issued at random, or based on any eligibility criteria as determined by the Company, including without limitation, a User’s trading activity, trading volume, number of Points held, or associated User Account Tier. Where Trading Incentives are provided, the Platform may automatically deduct a fee from such Trading Incentives to cover any expenses or costs in transferring the Trading Incentives. The Trading Incentives are provided solely as an additional benefit to Users, and nothing in these Terms shall be deemed as any guarantee or promise that a User may receive any Trading Incentives. The Company may discontinue, amend, vary, suspend or terminate any Trading Incentives at any time without any notice to the Users.

a. By using the Vault Feature to participate in any Vaults, you hereby agree to the relevant terms, conditions and rules that may be applicable to such Vaults (“Vault Terms”), as imposed and specified by the relevant third party operator or provider of such Vaults (the “Vault Provider”) from time to time. Any rewards or incentives made available to participants are not guaranteed or fixed, and the rates and timing of such rewards or incentives may vary.
b. The Platform operates the Vault Feature on a non-custodial basis, and we have no control or ownership over the Digital Assets that you supply or deposit for the Vault Feature. However, although the Vault Feature is provided on a non-custodial basis, when you deposit or contribute Digital Assets into a Vault, such Digital Assets may not be segregated from the Digital Assets of others, and may be commingled with Digital Assets belonging to other Users or the Company. You will not have a right to recover any specific Digital Assets save for the rights of redemption set out below.
c. Neither the Company nor any Vault Provider provides any representation or warranty that any Vault is appropriate (a) for any User or in any location, or (b) that the transactions and services described in the Platform in respect of the Vault Feature are (or will continue to be) available or appropriate for any User or in any location. You are strongly encouraged to carefully review any Vault Terms and seek independent professional advice as to whether the Vault Feature and the relevant Vault are appropriate for you having regard to your personal circumstances and objectives, financial position and risk tolerance.
d. The Company or the relevant Vault Provider reserves the right, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to:
e. Subject to any Vault Terms (including any Vault Limits or such other restrictions or procedures that may be implemented or imposed by the Company or any Vault Provider from time to time), Digital Assets that are contributed or deposited into a Vault are generally able to be redeemed at any time.
f. The return of Digital Assets to your Digital Wallet from the Vault may be delayed in accordance with the Vault Terms or subject to exceptional circumstances, which may include without limitation, extreme market volatility, network outages and delays, validator or protocol failure, a significant number of simultaneous instructions for redemption from participants of the relevant Vault, or other unanticipated events.
g. The Company or the relevant Vault Provider may at each of their sole discretion specify a minimum and maximum amount of Digital Assets that may be redeemed or withdrawn per request or per day.
h. If Users become ineligible to use the Vault Feature or any Vault, the Company or the relevant Vault Provider may be required to forcibly redeem and return your Digital Assets, and your corresponding Vault position may be closed. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company and the relevant Vault Provider will not be responsible for any loss resulting from such forced redemption and closure of positions.
i. If and where rewards or incentives are granted for participation in any Vault as part of the Vault Feature, the rewards or incentives you may earn through the Vault Feature and the Vault will vary depending on several factors, including the type of Digital Asset that you deposit, the specific Vault that you are participating in, the rules and criteria of the underlying Vault (i.e. the Vault Terms), Dapps, blockchain protocols and/or network or software or technology intended to be compatible with staked or deposited Digital Assets used in any Vault, and prevailing market conditions. The means of calculation and distribution of your rewards may be modified from time to time and your continued participation in the relevant Vault shall act as acceptance of the modified reward rate or formula.
j. Unless otherwise specified by us or displayed on the Platform or the relevant Vault, all rewards generated from participation in a Vault will be denominated in the same type of Digital Assets as the contributed or deposited Digital Assets. You may need to manually claim your rewards or incentive (if any). Where rewards or incentives are distributed to you, you accept that there may be a period of time before the rewards or incentives may be received in or reflected in your Digital Wallet, including in situations where there may be insufficient liquidity or any technological issues.
k. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, you understand and accept that rewards or incentives are not guaranteed and that you may suffer the loss of your deposited or contributed Digital Assets. Historical rewards are not indicative of future rewards and any displayed rewards on any Vault or the Platform are estimated or projected rewards which may differ from the actual rewards. All rewards you may receive are final and non-negotiable. We reserve the right to calculate and distribute the rewards in our sole discretion, including the right to modify our means of calculation and distribution from time to time.
l. When you choose to contribute or deposit your Digital Assets, you acknowledge and agree that you are subject to the relevant terms and conditions of the relevant Vault, Dapp, protocol, network and/or blockchain.
Prior to your participation in the Vault Feature, and on an ongoing basis, you represent, warrant, covenant and agree that:
a. You accept that the Company shall have the right to determine, in its sole discretion, the types of Vault Feature and Vault(s) that may be made available to you, and any of the terms and conditions related to such Vault Feature or Vault, including without limitation: (a) the term (which may include, a minimum and/or maximum term); (b) the applicable reward rates (if any); (c) the reward commencement date; and (d) the eligible Digital Assets. We will not be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct, indirect, special or consequential losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, any addition, removal, or changes to the Vault Feature.
b. You acknowledge and agree that the Company and the Platform may also in its sole discretion and at any time impose any of the following restrictions or limitations on:
a. Risks: Contributions or deposits of your Digital Assets is subject to network risks, such as slashing penalties, validator downtime, and other unpredictable events on the underlying Vault, blockchain protocol and/or network, malicious actors, hacking, theft, loss and other destruction of some or all of your Digital Assets. Further, as the contributions or depositing of Digital Assets involves locking up your Digital Assets and making them unusable and illiquid for a period of time, there is a risk of opportunity cost or loss of opportunities, or a loss of value or diminution in value in your contributed or deposited Digital Assets. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Vault Feature for the contribution, deposits or withdrawals of your Digital Assets in any Vault, is solely at your own risk, and that by contributing or depositing, and/or redeeming or withdrawing your Digital Assets, there is a chance of a loss of opportunities, diminution of value, loss of value, loss, destruction or forfeiture of some or all of your contributed, deposited, withdrawn or redeemed Digital Assets.
b. Market Volatility Risk: The value of your contributed or deposited Digital Assets can be highly volatile and may fluctuate significantly in short periods.

All transactions between Users are executed and conducted on a decentralised basis on the relevant Third Party Service via the RISE protocol or network (or such other applicable blockchain or network) through smart contracts. You are responsible for complying with all laws that may be applicable to or govern your use of the Services, including, but not limited to, the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the CFTC, the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC, the Securities and Futures Act and all foreign laws that apply to you and your use of such Services.

f. You acknowledge and agree that the Platform, and the Services and Contents made available thereon are software code and are subject to flaws and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for evaluating any smart contract, code provided by the Platform and/or the Services and Contents made available thereon and the trustworthiness of any third-party websites, products, smart-contracts, or content you access or use through the Platform. Like all software, the Platform and the Services may be subject to exploits. The Company is not and will not be responsible for exploits of any kind. While the Company has taken a number of precautions to maintain the security of the Platform and the Services respectively, this is a nascent technology and it is not possible to guarantee that the software codes or any smart contracts are completely free from vulnerabilities, bugs or errors. You accept all risks that arise from using the Platform and the Services, including, and not limited to, the risk of any funds being lost due to a failure or exploit of the Platform or any of the Services.

The Terms are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we have are expressly set out in these Terms (including in the Privacy Policy).
h. The following risks are associated with Digital Assets, the Platform, the Services and blockchain based technologies in general: the risk of losing private keys, theft resulting from third parties discovering your private key, value fluctuation of Digital Assets on the secondary market, disruptions to the RISE protocol or network caused by network congestion, lack of usability of, or loss of value with respect to, digital assets due to a hard fork or other disruption to the RISE protocol or network, or errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities in the smart contract code associated with a given Digital Asset or transactions involving Digital Assets.
i. Upgrades, forks or changes to the blockchain or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the blockchain may have unintended, adverse effects. In the event of a change to an underlying blockchain network, or other network disruption, resulting in a fork of the existing blockchain into one (or more) additional blockchains, the Platform and the Services may halt and stop functioning. In addition, in the event of a fork, transactions on the network may be disrupted, including transactions involving the Platform and the Services.
j. Other counterparty risks. Apart from situations where another User is the Counterparty, the use of the Platform may include other counterparty related risks including without limitation, if a market maker or liquidity provider faces issues which could result in slippage or an inability to execute trades; failures by or disputes with payment processors which may delay deposit and withdrawal transactions; borrowers defaulting on their repayment obligations which may delay the redemption of deposits from certain products. In such other exceptional circumstances, your Digital Asset holdings and your ability to transact or deal with your Digital Asset holdings, may be adversely affected which may result in a range of outcomes including, without limitation, transactions not completing as expected, trading costs being irrecoverable, loss of profits, inability to acquire or dispose of assets at the desired time or price.
k. The Digital Asset industry is subject to systemic and systematic risk. Systemic and systematic risks are both threats to the Digital Asset markets and economy, but the cause of these risks and the approaches for managing them are different. Systemic risk is the risk that a company or industry-level risk could trigger a major collapse. Systematic risk is the risk inherent to the entire market, which can be economic, sociopolitical, technological, or natural in origin. These risks can affect the prices of Digital Assets.

a. The Company reserves the right to terminate these Terms at any time for any reason, or for no reason, with or without notice to you.

b. In the event of a termination of these Terms, you will continue to be able to access and use your Digital Wallet, but you may need to do so through means outside of the Platform (for example, a browser extension).

The Dispute Resolution provisions of these Terms will survive termination and apply to all Disputes that arose or could have been initiated prior to termination.
This binding individual arbitration section will not apply to the extent prohibited by the laws of your country of residence.

A Dispute shall be subject to binding, individual arbitration regardless of whether it is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory. This includes claims that accrued before you entered into these Terms. You understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration and that court review of an arbitration award is limited.
In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any Dispute related to, or arising out of, these Terms, you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except as set out in Section 16.F. below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before either party initiates any arbitration or court proceeding. Notice must be provided within one (1) year of the Dispute having arisen, but in no event after the date on which the initiation of legal proceedings would have been barred under the applicable statute of limitations. The failure to provide timely notice shall bar all claims.
If a Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations, either you or the Company may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. The provision by you of a notice to the Company, containing all of the information referenced above, and your good-faith participation in the Informal Negotiation Period, are prerequisites to commencing arbitration.
To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you and the Company agree that neither you nor the Company may participate as a class representative, private attorney general, or as a member of any class of claimants for any Dispute subject to arbitration or for any non-arbitrable claim pursued in court. The arbitrator and any court shall construe the agreement to arbitrate and the agreement to waive class or collective actions in any manner that will render them enforceable and give them effect. If, for any reason, this class or collective action waiver is deemed unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, you agree that the parties’ contract to arbitrate is then entirely void. If any portion of these Terms other than the class action waiver is found illegal or unenforceable, such portion shall be severed and the remainder of these Terms shall be given full force and effect. Any Dispute subject to any such portion of these Terms shall be decided by the arbitrator.
Unless these Terms include express language to the contrary, all Disputes shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Panama without regard to choice of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. This paragraph will be interpreted as broadly as applicable law permits.
You and the Company agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration:
Claims excluded from arbitration under this section are subject to the choice of law, forum selection, and jury waiver clauses set forth in these Terms.
