16. Governing Law; Mandatory Arbitration

Any disputes arising in connection with these Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

[You agree to provide a written notice of any disputes to the other party at its notice address (or an address provided in writing to the other party) and try to resolve any such disputes in good faith thereafter. If the dispute is not resolved, within 30 days of a party providing notice to the other party, both parties agree that the dispute will be resolved through individual, non-representative, binding arbitration held in English, instead of a proceeding in courts of general jurisdiction. Any such disputes will be decided by a single arbitrator and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA’s Arbitration Rules will apply as modified by these Terms. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held in Boston, Massachusetts. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court with appropriate jurisdiction. Each party will be responsible for its respective costs, including costs related to its respective attorneys, experts, and witnesses.

You expressly waive your right to go to court, to a trial by jury, and to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or other representative proceeding with respect to any claim subject to arbitration.

You agree that any cause of action brought by or on behalf of you arising out of or related to the website or services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
