Individual arbitration: Except for an eligible individual small claims case or a claim for injunctive relief concerning misuse of intellectual property, any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this clause. The hearing may occur by video, in your county, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies as a court.Class and jury waiver: You and Foundry waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or participate in a class, consolidated, representative, or private-attorney-general action.

The arbitration and class-waiver terms apply only where lawful. If they are not enforceable where you live, you may bring a claim in the courts where you live and retain any non-waivable local consumer protections.Governing law
Delaware law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration and mandatory law where you live may still apply.13. Changes to Terms
