Disputes with Cryptrovia

  1. Governing Law. These Terms of Service and your use of the Services are governed by and constructed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware , without regard to its conflict of laws principles,. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live, but if you live outside of the United States of America, you may be entitled to the protection of other laws.
  2. Informal negotiations—To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Service (each a “Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party" and collectively, the “Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating the arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
  3. Arbitration. You and Cryptrovia agree that any dispute or claim arising from or relating to the Terms shall be finally settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect(those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms you can find the AAA Rules here), unless otherwise required by law.

**Arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the dispute, will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. For EU sellers, if any dispute arises in connection with the Terms, the parties should first try to resolve the dispute through the complaints procedure published here. In addition, the dispute may be referred by either party to the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution ("CEDR") for mediation. The Parties agree to enter into mediation to settle a good faith dispute and will do so in accordance with the CEDR’s mediation procedures. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties within 14 days of notice of the dispute, the mediator will be nominated by CEDR. To initiate the mediation a party must give notice in writing to the other party to the dispute, referring the dispute to mediation. A copy of the referral should be sent to CEDR. Any arbitration or mediation under the Terms will take place on an individual basis.

You understand that by agreeing to the Terms, you and Cryptrovia are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action lawsuit. Class arbitration shall only be available if requested by either party under its Class Action Arbitration Rules and approved by the arbitration entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator or mediator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis.

  1. Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules.
  2. Forum. Any legal action against Cryptrovia related to our Services must be filed and take place in Delaware, USA. For all actions under the AAA Rules, the proceedings may be filed where your residence is, or in Delaware, USA, and any in-person hearings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties taking into account their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. For any actions not subject to arbitration or mediation, you and Cryptrovia agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state or federal court located in Delaware.
  3. Exceptions to the Informal Negotiations and Arbitration—The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provision concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:
  4. any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, and of the intellectual property rights of a Party;
  5. any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and

iii. any claim for injunctive relief.

  1. If this provision is found to be illegal and unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed or jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Some Finer Legal Points

The Terms, including all of the policies that make up the Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us through our Services, supersede any other agreement between you and Cryptrovia regarding the Services. If any part of the Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms. These Terms of Service operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, and unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable these Terms of Service and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms of Service and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms of Service.
