6. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

6.1 Jurisdiction and Venue

Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in San Francisco County, California. You hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.

6.2 Dispute Resolution

Before filing a claim against Tools Platform, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@toolsplatform.com. We will try to resolve the dispute informally within 60 days of receiving your notice. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Service through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth below.

You and Tools Platform agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be settled by binding arbitration, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if the claims qualify.

6.3 Class Action Waiver

You and Tools Platform agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Tools Platform each waive any right to a jury trial.

6.4 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced with a valid provision that comes closest to the intent of the invalid provision.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Tools Platform. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

6.6 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by us on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Tools Platform concerning the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the Service.
