These Terms of use are governed by North Carolina law, without reference to its conflicts of laws principles. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising under these Terms of Use or in connection with or in relation to the Services, or your use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”), shall be finally settled on an individual basis in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (“JAMS”) by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the English language and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. You hereby waive: (i) the right to litigate in court or arbitrate any claim or dispute as a class action, either as a member of a class or as a representative, or to act as a private attorney general; (ii) any claim of an inconvenient forum in Charlotte, North Carolina; and (iii) the right to recover indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with the use of the Services.

SafeOpt reserves the right to seek injunctive or other relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our rights. You will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide us with written notice to opt out of arbitration (“Arbitration Opt-out Notice”) by email at help@SafeOpt.com or by regular mail to 15806 Brookway St. Suite 200, Huntersville, NC 28078 within thirty (30) days following the date you first use our Services.

The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in the County of Mecklenburg, State of North Carolina and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide us with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Subject to any applicable law to the contrary, you agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the use of our Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or such action will be permanently barred.
