14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to them, their subject matter, or their formation (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

15. Dispute Resolution

15.1 Informal Resolution

Before filing a claim against Multipolar Ventures LLC, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@multipolarworld.com. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 60 days of submission, you or Multipolar Ventures LLC may initiate formal proceedings.

15.2 Arbitration

If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, EXCEPT FOR:

  • Claims for intellectual property infringement
  • Claims that can be brought in small claims court
  • Claims for injunctive or equitable relief
  • Claims involving our intellectual property rights

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms 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 will continue in full force and effect.
