14. Governing Law and Venue These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Mateo County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Initial Dispute Resolution: We are available by email at [Your Support or Legal Email Address] to address any concerns you may have regarding the Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (or alternatively, the American Arbitration Association "AAA"), in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Arbitration Location: The arbitration will take place in San Mateo County, California.
Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacitiesonly and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exception - Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
Exception - Intellectual Property: Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Service, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
30 Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address:Utopian Creations LLC, 850 Campus Drive #103, Daly City, CA 94015 and via email at [Your Support or Legal Email Address]. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use the Service; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, LezFindr also will not be bound by them.
16. International Users The Service is controlled and operated from the United States. LezFindr makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
No Waiver: The failure of LezFindr to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
Assignment: These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by LezFindr without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
