18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
18.1 Informal Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, a party must send the other a written notice of dispute describing the claim and the relief sought, and the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days. This is a condition precedent to arbitration.
18.2 Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, AI Output, or your use of the Services, including the validity, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration provision, that is not resolved informally pursuant to Section 18.1 will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Section 18. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA’s rules. The arbitration shall occur in Collin County, Texas, and the arbitration shall be conducted exclusively in the English language. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, governs the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this Section 18. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable.
18.3 Class Waiver. ALL DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. NEITHER PARTY MAY PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR ARBITRATION, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PARTY. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
18.4 Mass Filings. If twenty-five (25) or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against Company by or with the assistance of coordinated counsel, the parties agree the demands will be administered in staged batches under the administrator’s applicable mass-arbitration procedures, with an initial set of bellwether proceedings, and applicable filing fees will be assessed consistent with those procedures.
18.5 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Collin County, Texas, to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information pending the outcome of arbitration. Any such proceeding must be accompanied by a concurrent demand for arbitration with the AAA provided under Section 18.2 above. Once appointed, the arbitrator shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine whether any injunctive or other equitable relief obtained prior to the arbitration shall remain in effect during the arbitration.
18.6 Severability of Waiver. If the class waiver in Section 18.3 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, and the remainder of this Section 18 will continue to apply.
19. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; TEXAS PROVISIONS
19.1 Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or AI Output (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
19.2 Venue. Subject to the binding arbitration provisions in Section 18, which shall govern the resolution of all disputes except as expressly provided therein, the state and federal courts located in Collin County, Texas shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim, or action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 18. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any objection based on improper venue or inconvenient forum. The arbitration provisions of Section 18 shall take precedence over this Section 19.2, and no dispute that is required to be arbitrated under Section 18 may be brought in any court except as expressly permitted by Section 18.5.
19.3 DTPA WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND AFTER CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY OF YOUR OWN SELECTION, YOU WAIVE ALL PROVISIONS OF THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES–CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT (TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE § 17.41 ET SEQ.), OTHER THAN § 17.555, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT SUCH WAIVER IS PERMITTED UNDER § 17.42.

IF THE FOREGOING REPRESENTATIONS ARE NOT TRUE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY OF YOUR OWN SELECTION BEFORE AGREEING TO THIS WAIVER.
19.4 Non-Reliance.

You acknowledge that these Terms, including the limitation of liability and disclaimers of warranties herein, are fair and reasonable.
