You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VeeFriends, its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, and other customers, from any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your or any other person’s use of your credentials or VeeFriends Account in connection with: (a) use of the Services; (b) breach of this Agreement or any other agreement or policy; (c) violation of any Applicable Law; or (d) violation of any rights of any other person or entity; provided however, that you shall not indemnify VeeFriends for claims or losses arising out of VeeFriends’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnity shall apply to your successors and assigns and shall survive any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

  1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website that is not subject to arbitration, shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York and County of New York, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use 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.

  1. DISPUTES.

PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither you nor VeeFriends will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action or private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitrations or proceedings.

You and VeeFriends agree to arbitrate, as provided below, all Disputes between you (including any related disputes involving Vee Friends, LLC, its subsidiaries or its affiliates), that are not resolved informally, except disputes relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights. “Dispute” includes any dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, between you and us concerning the Services, Additional Terms, or this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and VeeFriends empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable.

In the event of a dispute, you or VeeFriends must send to the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute to VeeFriends, Vee Friends, LLC, 10 Hudson Yards – 25th Floor, New York, NY 10001, USA, Attention: Legal. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and VeeFriends will attempt to resolve a dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. After that sixty (60) day period and not before, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. You may instead litigate a dispute in small claims court if the dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court, whether or not you negotiated informally first.

If you and VeeFriends do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”) in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS Rules and instructions about how to initiate an arbitration are available at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in either Los Angeles, California or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, whichever is more convenient for you; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Los Angeles or New York, JAMS may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. You and VeeFriends agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in either Los Angeles, California or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, whichever is more convenient for you, 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. The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.

In accordance with the JAMS Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or VeeFriends) is responsible for paying the filing fee. However, if the arbitrator issues you an award of damages and: (a) that award is greater than the amount of our last written settlement offer; or (b) if we did not make a settlement offer, then in addition to paying for any JAMS Case Management Fees and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services, we will reimburse you for the filing fees you incurred.

Except as provided above with respect to jurisdiction in Los Angeles, California and Manhattan, New York, New York, nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed as consent by VeeFriends to the jurisdiction of any other court with regard to disputes, claims or controversies unrelated to the Services or this Agreement.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND VEE FRIENDS HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and VeeFriends are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as otherwise indicated in this Section. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Arbitration Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.

Opt-Out. VeeFriends’ updates to this Agreement do not provide a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement for customers or Users who had previously agreed to a version of this Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration. VeeFriends will continue to honor the valid opt outs of customers who validly opted out of the requirement to use arbitration in a prior version of this Agreement. If you are a customer who creates a VeeFriends Account for the first time on or after the effective date of this Agreement, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor VeeFriends can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify VeeFriends in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your VeeFriends username (if any), the email address you currently use to access your VeeFriends account (if you have one), the cryptocurrency wallet address you used to transact on this Website (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to ATTN: Legal Department, Vee Friends, LLC, 10 Hudson Yards – 25th Floor, New York, NY 10001, with a copy to legal@veefriends.com. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us.
