7. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY— IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
7.1. Governing Law
You and we each agree that the Terms including but not limited to any Dispute, controversy, difference, or claim arising out of or relating to the Terms or our services, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any Dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to the Terms or our services shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the United States and the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.
7.2. Dispute Resolution
Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution procedure that allows us to resolve issues without the formality of going to court. By accepting the Terms, including the Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provisions below, you agree that any dispute between you and Create AI will be submitted to a neutral arbitrator for a binding decision, and you waive your right or opportunity to bring claims in court before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions or representative actions).
You have the right to opt-out of this Dispute Resolution provision, as explained below, which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or a jury.
For the purposes of the Terms, including this Dispute Resolution provision specifically, "Dispute" means any dispute, claim or controversy between you and us regarding any aspect of your relationship with us, including those arising out of the Terms or otherwise based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including but not limited to fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability, and/or scope of this Disputes Resolution provision, except as it applies to the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver set forth below. "Dispute" is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.
(1)Binding Individual Arbitration. You and we agree that, except as provided in subsection (5) below ("Opt-Out"), any and all Disputes, including their arbitrability, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration rather than in a court, in accordance with this provision. You and Create AI further agree that you are waiving your right to a trial by jury or to a trial before a judge in a public court. By accepting the Terms, you acknowledge and agree that other rights you may have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and the right to obtain certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") and the governing law of the arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall be conducted in a confidential manner.
You or Create AI may initiate arbitration in the federal judicial district that includes the address you provide in your Written Notice of Dispute (defined below).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights (an "Intellectual Property Action"), and each party reserves the right to bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to stop and/or seek compensation for the intentional or willful misuse or abuse (e.g. hacking or falsifying location) of their intellectual property.
(2)Informal Resolution. You agree that in the event of any Dispute, Create AI and you shall first attempt to resolve any such Dispute informally for a period no less than thirty (30) calendar days before initiating arbitration proceedings. The informal Dispute resolution process shall be deemed to have begun upon the receipt of written notice from one party to the other ("Written Notice of Dispute"). The Written Notice of Dispute must include the full name and contact information of the complainant, describe the nature and basis of the Dispute, and set for the relief sought.
The Written Notice of Dispute shall be sent to [business@jinyongheros.com].
In the event that any such Dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that the Dispute, including any question regarding the arbitrability of the Dispute, shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with subsection (1) of Section 7.2 above.
(3)Class Action Waiver. You agree that each party may only bring claims against the other solely in their individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding in any jurisdiction. Further, if the parties' Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, including but not limited to a class action, consolidated action, or private attorney general action, unless both Create AI and you specifically agree in writing to do so following initiation of the arbitration. All claims and Disputes within the scope of this individual arbitration agreement must be arbitrated or litigated on an individual class basis. Claims of more than one customer or User cannot be arbitrated or litigated jointly or consolidated with those of any other customer or User. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Terms, this Dispute Resolution provision, or the AAA Rules, Disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. This specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution Provision contained in Section 19A shall be null and void.
(4)Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in this Dispute Resolution provision may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of the Terms.
(5)Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt-out. Notwithstanding the above, you and Create AI may opt out of the arbitration procedures described above. If you do so, neither you nor Create AI can force the other to arbitrate.
You or Create AI may opt out of these arbitration procedures and pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (i) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (ii) YOU PROVIDE Create AI WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DESIRE TO OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THE TERMS (the "Arbitration Opt-Out Notice"). The Arbitration Opt-Out Notice must include your name and address, your account and the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you wish not to resolve Disputes with Create AI through arbitration. You must mail your opt-out notice to [business@jinyongheros.com]. If you do not provide Create AI with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within 30 days from the date that you first consent to the Terms, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
(6)Continuation. This Dispute Resolution provision shall survive the termination of your Account (if applicable), and/or your access to or use of the our services, and/or your relationship with Create AI.
8. Modification
We reserves the right to amend, modify or revise the Terms at any time in any way without prior notice and you agree to check periodically for new information and terms that govern your use of the our services and you agree to be bound by all amendments, modifications and revisions. Your continued access to our services will constitute your acceptance to the newly updated Agreement and any agreements or policies therein.
If at any point you do not agree to any portion of then-current version of agreements or policies pertaining to your use of the our services, your License under the Terms shall immediately terminate and you may immediately stop accessing to the our services.
