The indemnified party may participate in the claim’s defense at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement that adversely affects the indemnified party’s interests without prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party is not responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing.

14. LEGAL DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

14.1 Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at legal.support@walletconnect.com to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and we agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

14.2 Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the terms of this agreement, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services and the Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (as appropriate) or, if you are our employee, the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. You or we may elect to appear at the arbitration by phone or, if you and we both agree, to conduct it online, in lieu of appearing live. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, you will be required to pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer under the JAMS rules), and we will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

14.3 Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and we each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth in this agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

14.4 Location. If you are arbitrating a dispute with us as an individual consumer (and not as or on behalf of a company, legal or corporate entity, or sole proprietorship), the arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. For all other disputes, including as or on behalf of a company, legal or corporate entity, or sole proprietorship, the arbitration shall be initiated in Delaware, and you and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in Delaware, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

14.5 Exception - Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

14.6 Exception – California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) Action. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a court of law for a claim arising under California’s Private Attorneys General Act.

14.7 THE FOLLOWING SECTION APPLIES TO INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS ONLY, AND DOES NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF OR AS A COMPANY, LEGAL OR CORPORATE ENTITY, OR SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP: 30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections 12.2 and 12.3 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out by emailing us at legal.support@walletconnect.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use the Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

14.8 Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 13.2 do not apply, of if you want to pursue any legal remedies to which you would otherwise be entitled but that are not available to you pursuant to this Section 12, and unless prohibited by governing law for claims between us and our employee, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Delaware (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). Unless prohibited by governing law for claims between us and our employee, the parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Delaware for any litigation other than small claims court actions.

14.9 Governing Law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between us.

15. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. When using our Services, you agree to abide by all applicable laws. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of the Services is in compliance with all laws applicable to you.

16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to your use of the Services and use or access to the Site. These Terms supersede all prior agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning the Services and the Site. If You are an enterprise or business customer, these Terms shall be in addition to other terms and conditions set forth in applicable agreement between You and Us.

17. SEVERABILITY. If it is determined that any term or provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be severed and the remaining terms and provisions shall be unimpaired.

18. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS; ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE. You consent to receive communications from us by email in accordance with these Terms and applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically will satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

19. TRANSFER TO THIRD PARTIES. You may not assign or transfer these Terms (or any of your rights or obligations under them) without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment or transfer without complying with the foregoing will be void. We may assign all or part of its rights and (where permitted by law) obligations under these Terms to any third party at any time without notice.

20. NO WAIVER. No waiver of any term of these Terms by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

21. PRIVACY POLICY.
