PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A CLAIM IN COURT.
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at legal@0gfoundation.ai and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. If we are unable to resolve the dispute informally, either party may proceed as set forth below.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity hereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (collectively, "Disputes"), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration administered by the Cayman Islands Mediation and Arbitration Centre (CI-MAC) pursuant to its Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Section.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial disputes involving technology companies. The seat of arbitration shall be George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, subject to the limitations in these Terms.
The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees in any arbitration, except as otherwise determined by the arbitrator in accordance with applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may: (i) 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 intellectual property rights; or (ii) bring any claim that cannot, as a matter of applicable law, be subject to mandatory arbitration.
These Terms and any Disputes arising out of or related hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
For any Dispute not subject to arbitration (as permitted in Section 13.3), or if the arbitration provisions are found unenforceable, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall be the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, and you and the Foundation each consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such court and waive any objection on the grounds of improper venue, forum non conveniens, or any similar basis.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms that apply to specific features or programs offered through the Services, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Foundation regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether oral or written.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The failure of the Foundation to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Foundation.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Foundation. The Foundation may freely assign these Terms and its rights and obligations hereunder without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
The Foundation shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms if such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond the Foundation's reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, war, terrorism, cyberattacks, blockchain network disruptions, changes in applicable law, or failures of third-party infrastructure.
Any notice required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing. Notices to the Foundation shall be sent to legal@0gfoundation.ai. We may provide notices to you by posting on the Services, by email (if you have provided an email address), or by other reasonable means.
These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any person or entity, except that the Foundation Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of the indemnification and limitation of liability provisions.
The following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of these Terms: Sections 4 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Assumption of Risk), 8 (Disclaimers), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 13 (Dispute Resolution), 14 (Governing Law and Venue), and 15 (General Provisions).
You consent to receive these Terms and any related communications electronically. Your electronic acceptance of these Terms constitutes a binding agreement as if you had signed a paper copy.
