Your use of the service is Your responsibility. In the event that You cause harm to another person or become involved in a dispute with someone else, we will not intervene. Should You willfully infringe on someone else's intellectual property rights and this results in financial costs to us, we will seek to recover those costs from You. Additionally, we may pursue legal action to recover our legal expenses.

7. Disputes and Other Stuff

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. If a dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, "Dispute") arises from or relates to these Terms, it will be resolved through binding arbitration instead of in court. The parties agree to first attempt to amicably resolve the Dispute within 30 days of its occurrence. Failing resolution within this period, the Dispute will be settled through arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association’s International Centre for Dispute Resolution, following its Expedited Commercial Rules effective as of the date of this Agreement ("Rules"). The parties will jointly select an arbitrator.

The arbitration will take place in English in Santa Clara County, California, USA. Either party may seek interim injunctive relief from a competent court to protect its rights while awaiting the arbitration outcome. The arbitrator is authorized to grant equitable or injunctive relief in line with the remedies and limitations set forth in this Agreement. The arbitration award will be conclusive and enforceable in any court with jurisdiction over the parties or their assets.

Each party is responsible for its own legal and expert fees and expenses, irrespective of the arbitrator's final decision on the Dispute.

This Agreement does not establish any form of agency, partnership, or joint venture between the involved parties. Neither party shall be held liable for any failure or delay in their performance when such failure or delay is due to circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters. If any portion of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable. This Agreement does not bestow any benefits upon third parties, except where it explicitly states otherwise.
