Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Agreement to Arbitrate. You and MiceBalls, LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (“Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.

Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules or, if applicable, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be St. Clair County, Illinois. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. You and the Company agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services. The notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration clause.

10. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent that litigation is permissible under these Terms, the exclusive venue shall be the state or federal courts located in St. Clair County, Illinois, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

11. Termination

The Company may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your license to use the Services immediately ceases. Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and this Section 11 shall survive termination.

13. Miscellaneous

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Services. Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may assign these Terms without restriction. Force Majeure. The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, riots, government action, or failure of third-party infrastructure.
