Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, and Compliance

Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, including your use of the Platform, shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of Estonia, without regard to conflict of law principles or provisions that would result in the application of any other jurisdiction's laws.

Dispute Resolution

Any disputes, claims, or legal proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be exclusively resolved in the competent courts of Estonia. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Estonia and waive any objection to jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenient forum.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any right to participate in class-action lawsuits, collective actions, or other group legal proceedings against us. Any claim you bring must be filed individually, and claims that are not filed within one (1) year from the date they arise shall be deemed permanently waived.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and the Platform shall be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You waive any right to participate in a class action, mass arbitration, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding against the Platform, as well as any right to a jury trial. Disputes shall be resolved through individual arbitration or litigation, as outlined in the Dispute Resolution section of these Terms. If any portion of this waiver is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in effect, and claims may proceed only on an individual basis. If you do not agree to this provision, you must discontinue use of the Platform immediately.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalidity of any provision shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining Terms.

Compliance with Local Laws

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to data protection laws, import/export controls, and content restrictions. If the use or distribution of the Platform is restricted or prohibited in your country, we reserve the right to limit, restrict, or terminate your access to the Platform without prior notice.

Assignment of Rights

These Terms are personal to you, and you may not transfer, assign, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party without our prior written consent.

We reserve the right to assign, transfer, or delegate our rights and obligations under these Terms at any time, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or corporate reorganization, without notice or your prior approval. Your continued use of the Platform after such assignment constitutes your acceptance of the transfer.
