In order for us to provide our Services, you agree that we may process, transfer and store information about you in the United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law.

12. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with SOLIDEFIED LTD concerning the Website and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
No Representative Actions. You and SOLIDEFIED LTD agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Website is personal to you and SOLIDEFIED LTD and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or SOLIDEFIED LTD seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or SOLIDEFIED LTD seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and SOLIDEFIED LTD waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Website resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against SOLIDEFIED LTD or relating in any way to the Website, you agree to first contact SOLIDEFIED LTD and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to SOLIDEFIED LTD by email at or by certified mail addressed to Solidefied LTD Intershore Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim, and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and SOLIDEFIED LTD cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to Kleros Court, a blockchain-based dispute resolution platform for informal mediation prior to initiating binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Miami-Dade County, Florida or may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $10,000, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules is available on the JAMS website and is hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and SOLIDEFIED LTD agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 12 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitrator, SOLIDEFIED LTD, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
You and SOLIDEFIED LTD agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and SOLIDEFIED LTD will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Company, SOLIDEFIED LTD will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and SOLIDEFIED LTD agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Florida and the United States sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Website must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and SOLIDEFIED LTD will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt-out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 12 by emailing us at. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 13.
If any portion of this Section 12 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 12 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 12; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall stay pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 12 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 12 will be enforceable.

13. Governing Law and Venue

Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Website will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Florida and the United States, respectively, sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

14. Modifying and Terminating our Services

We reserve the right to modify our Website or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Website at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Website at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Website.

15. Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

16. Miscellaneous

The failure of SOLIDEFIED LTD 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 upon any other person or entity.
