13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

13.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Pluvel agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use of the Services (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved solely by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you or Pluvel may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify; and (2) you or Pluvel may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights.

13.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

The arbitration will be conducted in the English language by a single arbitrator. For claims of $75,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted based solely on written submissions, unless you request an in-person or telephonic hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. For claims over $75,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.

13.3 Arbitration Location

Unless you and Pluvel otherwise agree, any arbitration hearings will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, or may be conducted via video conference at the election of either party.

13.4 Arbitration Costs

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Pluvel will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs.

13.5 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND PLUVEL 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. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

13.6 Jury Trial Waiver

IF FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, YOU AND PLUVEL EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

13.7 Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@pluvel.com within 30 days of first creating your Account. Your notice must include your name, Account email address, mailing address, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.

16. GOVERNING LAW

All matters relating to the Platform and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Subject to the Arbitration Agreement in Section 13, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Platform shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware, and you waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

19. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
