Other states. Residents of certain states may have additional rights under local law. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be waived under the laws of your state.

21. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

21.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, you and the Company agree to try to resolve any dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute and your requested resolution to support@socalsisterhood.com. If it is not resolved within 60 days, either party may start arbitration as described below.

21.2 Agreement to arbitrate. Except as stated in 21.6, you and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, including their formation, interpretation, enforceability, or breach (each a "Dispute"), will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section.

21.3 Rules and location. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be held by a single arbitrator, and, at your option, may be conducted by phone, video, written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or Orange, California. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. AAA's rules govern payment of filing and arbitrator fees; the Company will pay fees as required by those rules for consumer claims.

21.4 Delegation. The arbitrator, and not a court, decides disputes about the scope, interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this Section, except that a court decides disputes about the validity of the class action waiver in 21.5.

21.5 Class action and jury trial waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. DISPUTES MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a claim, that claim must be litigated in court and not arbitrated, and the rest of this Section remains in effect.

21.6 Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies; and (b) seek temporary or injunctive relief in court to stop infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or violations of security. Nothing in this Section prevents you from reporting concerns to a government agency.

21.7 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration and the class action waiver by emailing support@socalsisterhood.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out," your name, and the email associated with your account. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

21.8 Batch arbitration. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against the Company by the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be resolved in staged batches of up to 25 under AAA's mass-arbitration procedures.

21.9 Severability. If any part of this Section 21 is found unenforceable, except for the class action waiver as described in 21.5, the rest remains enforceable.

22. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act as to Section 21. For any Dispute not subject to arbitration, you and the Company consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Orange, California.

23. General

23.1 Entire agreement. These Terms and the Policies are the entire agreement between you and the Company about the Services and replace any prior agreements on that subject.

23.2 Severability and waiver. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

23.3 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or to an affiliate.

23.4 Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

23.5 Electronic communications. You consent to receive notices and communications from us electronically, including by email or in the App.

23.6 Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and the Company.

23.7 Notices to us. Send legal notices to 27001 Moulton Pkwy A108, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 and support@socalsisterhood.com.
