12. Binding Arbitration + Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY -- THIS AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Mandatory Arbitration
Except for small claims court matters (if applicable) and intellectual property disputes, any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by an arbitration provider under its rules. Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis.
Class Action Waiver
You and the Company agree that each may bring claims only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, or private attorney general proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any class proceeding.
Opt-Out
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@augeastechnologies.com with subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account/device details.
13. Time Limit to Bring Claims
To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim must be brought within one (1) year after the event giving rise to the claim, otherwise it is permanently barred.
14. Governing Law / Venue (by region)
The governing law and venue depend on your country of residence at the time you accept these Terms. Section 12 (Binding Arbitration + Class Action Waiver) applies wherever permitted by local law; some jurisdictions limit or prohibit consumer-arbitration clauses, in which case Section 12 does not apply to you and only the surviving provisions of this section govern.
If you reside in the United States
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of Section 12. If arbitration is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under any non-waivable consumer protection law of your state of residence (including, where applicable, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act).
If you reside in Canada
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Toronto, Ontario, except where you reside in Quebec, in which case the courts of the judicial district of your residence have jurisdiction and these Terms are also available in French upon request. Nothing in these Terms limits your non-waivable rights under provincial consumer protection legislation, including the Quebec Consumer Protection Act, the Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002, and equivalent statutes in other provinces, or your rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Quebec Law 25, or Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
If you reside in Mexico
These Terms are governed by the federal laws of the United Mexican States, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the competent courts of Mexico City. Nothing in these Terms limits your non-waivable rights under the Federal Consumer Protection Law (Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor), the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP), or PROFECO oversight, including statutory return, refund, and warranty rights. Where mandatory Mexican consumer law conflicts with these Terms, the mandatory Mexican law controls.
If you reside in India
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, excluding conflict-of-law rules. The courts located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India have exclusive jurisdiction, except as required by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, both of which are incorporated by reference where applicable.
If you reside elsewhere
We have not yet localized these Terms for your jurisdiction. By using the Service from outside the United States, Canada, Mexico, and India, you agree these Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, with disputes resolved in the courts of London — but always subject to any non-waivable consumer protection law of your country of residence. If your jurisdiction prohibits this choice of law for consumers, your local mandatory law applies instead.
15. Updates & Changes
We may update these Terms. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised Terms.
