17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you agree to first contact us at hello@friendfast.app and attempt to resolve any dispute informally. If we are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, either party may proceed to arbitration as set forth below.

17.2 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Wilmington, Delaware, or another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You understand that by agreeing to arbitration, you are waiving your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.

17.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND BLACK BOX INNOVATIONS LLC AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER.

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.

17.4 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.

17.5 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to hello@friendfast.app within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

18. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

To the extent that arbitration does not apply, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for the resolution of any disputes.

19. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms and may provide additional notice (such as through the App or via email).

Your continued use of the Service after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically for any changes.

20. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Black Box Innovations LLC regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

20.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.

20.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

20.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
