To the extent permissible by law, any disputes, claims, or causes of action arising under or in connection with these Terms or our Privacy Policy or relating to Our Platform or any Software will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey.

You agree to file any cause of action arising under or in connection with these Terms or our Privacy Policy or relating to Our Platform or any Software within one (1) year after that cause of action arises and that any such cause of action filed after that date is time barred.

Any changes or waiver of a provision or portion of these Terms or our Privacy Policy by us will not constitute our waiver or modification of any other provision or portion of these Terms or our Privacy Policy or any other agreement or of any of our other rights.
