11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

Any legal action or proceeding relating to your access to, or use of, the Services or these Terms shall be instituted in a state or federal court in San Francisco County, California. You and the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, these courts in any such legal action or proceeding.

For any dispute you have with the Company, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy through binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding our Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous written or oral agreements.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
