17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at hello@databorders.com and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally.

If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules (as applicable), rather than in court, except as stated below. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Either party may bring a claim in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm. Nothing in this section limits either party from filing a complaint with a government or regulatory agency.

YOU AND DATA BORDERS EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court (not arbitration) and all other claims remain subject to arbitration.

You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to hello@databorders.com within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions, except to the extent pre-empted by the Federal Arbitration Act.

18. General Provisions

• Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Data Borders regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.
• Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.
• Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision will not be considered a waiver of that right.
• Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Terms.
• Force majeure: We will not be liable for failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
• No agency: Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between the parties.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 14 days' prior notice of material changes by posting an updated version on this page with a new effective date and, where appropriate, notifying you by email. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service before the effective date.
