11. Governing Law and Venue

Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Rikka Site will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Except as otherwise provided in the Arbitration and Dispute Resolution section below, the parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the District of Columbia for any actions arising out of or relating to the enforcement of an arbitration award or for claims seeking injunctive or other equitable relief.

12. Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

(a) These Terms and your use of the Rikka Site shall be governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

(b) For any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or in relation to these Terms, including, without limitation, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or your access or use of the Rikka Site (together, a "Dispute"), you agree to first contact Rikka Law Group and attempt informal resolution. If unresolved within 30 days, the Dispute will be settled through binding arbitration before a single arbitrator pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures on an individual basis with no class relief.

The arbitrator shall be an attorney or judge experienced in commercial law and shall apply the substantive law of the District of Columbia. This section constitutes a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA").

If the claim does not exceed 0,000, arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, unless the arbitrator requires a hearing.

THE AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION. All claims must be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative capacity.

(c) You and Rikka Law Group agree to exclusively submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the District of Columbia for any actions arising from or related to the arbitration or for any claims seeking injunctive or other equitable relief related to data security, unauthorized access to the Rikka Site, or infringement of intellectual property rights.

(d) You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Rikka Law Group are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to any right you may have to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim you may have against Rikka Law Group, including any right to class arbitration or any consolidation of individual arbitrations.

13. Miscellaneous

To the extent permitted by law, any cause of action by you with respect to the Rikka Site must be instituted within one (1) year after the cause of action arose or be forever waived and barred.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights on any other person or entity.

If any provision of these Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. You agree that communications and transactions between you and Rikka Law Group may be conducted electronically.
