Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands. Any disputes that cannot be arbitrated under the “Dispute Resolution” section must be brought in the Cayman Islands.

Dispute Resolution

Please read this section carefully as it requires arbitration of disputes on an individual basis and waives class action claims. This affects how disputes between you and BFG Labs are resolved.

(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, including breach, termination, enforcement, or interpretation thereof (collectively, “Disputes”), will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration, not as part of any class, collective, or representative action. YOU AND BFG LABS AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR PARTICIPATION IN A CLASS ACTION. This arbitration clause will survive any termination of the Terms.

(b) Exceptions.
The only exceptions to arbitration are: (i) either party may bring a claim in small claims court, if applicable, and (ii) either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect their intellectual property rights.

(c) Arbitration Rules.
The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its International Arbitration Rules, which are available at jamsadr.com. The language of arbitration will be English. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.

(d) Arbitration Costs.
Filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. BFG Labs will not seek reimbursement of these fees unless the arbitrator determines your Dispute is frivolous. If BFG Labs prevails in arbitration, it will pay its own attorneys’ fees; if you prevail, you may be entitled to recover your fees as allowed by law.

(e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief.
The arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Public injunctive relief, if sought, must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, and arbitration of individual claims will be stayed pending the outcome of such litigation.

(f) Class Action Waiver.
YOU AND BFG LABS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

(g) Severability.
Except for the Class Action Waiver, if any part of this section is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the Dispute Resolution section will still apply.

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” BFG LABS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify BFG Labs for any claims, liabilities, or damages arising from your use of the Service, breach of these Terms, or violation of third-party rights.

Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BFG Labs. If any provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms will continue in effect.
