12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
12.1 Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
12.2 Arbitration Agreement
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
You and DreamWave Journal agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the App, or your use of the App (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding individual arbitration, except as specified below. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts.
Exceptions to Arbitration: You or we may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify and remain in small claims court. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights.
12.3 Arbitration Rules and Process
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
12.4 Arbitration Fees
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. If your claim is for less than $10,000, we will reimburse you for any filing fees and pay all administrative and arbitrator fees, provided your claim is not found to be frivolous.
12.5 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND DREAM WAVE JOURNAL AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
12.6 Opt-Out Right
You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your written opt-out notice must include your name, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Send your opt-out notice to: contact@dreamwavejournal.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out."
If you opt out of the arbitration agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply. Opting out of the arbitration agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
12.7 Severability of Arbitration Provisions
If any portion of this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void.
12.8 Jurisdiction for Non-Arbitrable Claims
For any claims not subject to arbitration, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Illinois.
13. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
14. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Dream Wave Journal regarding your use of the App and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
