The Parties agree that any dispute arising in connection with the interpretation of these Terms, the performance of either Party under these Terms, or otherwise relating to these Terms will be treated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section, prior to the resort by either Party to arbitration or litigation in connection with such dispute. Such procedure will be invoked by either Party presenting to the other a Notice of Request for Resolution of Dispute (a "Notice") identifying the issues in dispute sought to be addressed hereunder. A telephone or personal conference of the executives representing each party will be held within ten (10) business days after the delivery of the Notice. In the event that the telephone or personal conference between these executives does not take place or does not resolve the dispute, either Party may refer the dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth below.
12.2. Arbitration Rules and Processes. All claims or disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect and in accordance with Title 9 of the United States Code. The arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators selected in accordance with the AAA Rules, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. Arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California and must commence within thirty (30) days after a written demand for arbitration is delivered by one Party to the other. The arbitrators' decision will be final, binding, and not subject to appeal, review, or modification, and judgment may be entered on the award in any court having jurisdiction.
12.3. Scope and Exclusivity. No arbitration may include, by joinder or consolidation, any person or entity that is not a Party to these Terms, without the prior written consent of both Parties. This arbitration agreement will be specifically enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each Party expressly waives any right to appeal, seek review, or otherwise challenge the arbitrators' award in any court or regulatory body.
12.4. Costs and Fees. The arbitrators will award to the prevailing Party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, all of its Costs and Fees. "Costs and Fees" include all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators' fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses (such as copying and telephone), court costs, witness fees, and attorneys' fees.

Your opt-out notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of mandatory arbitration. If you do not opt out within this period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate disputes in court, except as otherwise provided in these Terms.
13. MISCELLANEOUS
13.1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Where the arbitration provisions of these Terms are inapplicable, these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws principles.

13.2. Amendment; No Waiver. These Terms may not be amended except in a signed writing executed by authorized representatives of each Party. No delay in exercising any right or remedy or failure to object will be a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on one occasion will not be a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
13.3. Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations of amounts due under these Terms, neither party will be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions; pandemic; or other event outside the reasonable control of the obligated party. Each party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event.
13.4. Actions Permitted. Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of a Party's proprietary rights, no action, regardless of form, arising out of or relating to these Terms may be brought by either Party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.

You represent and warrant that you are not (i) located in, or a resident or national of, a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a "terrorist supporting" country, or (ii) listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You may not access or use the Services if you are located in any such jurisdiction or are listed on any such list.
13.8. Severability. If any part of these Terms or an Order is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect.
13.9. Notices. All legal notices to us must be sent by email to team@withjanus.com. Notices to you may be sent to the email or mailing address associated with your account or delivered via the Services. We may also contact you by telephone using the number on file.

The provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA), or any substantially similar legislation as may be enacted, will not apply to these Terms. If you are located outside of the territory of the United States, the parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not govern these Terms or the rights and obligations of the parties under these Terms.
13.14. Survival. Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including but not limited to those relating to ownership, confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and payment obligations.
13.15. Precedence. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and an Order, the terms of the Order will control, but only as to that Order.
13.16. Counterparts. These Terms may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will for all purposes be deemed an original and all of which will constitute the same instrument.
