Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Platform, Privacy Policy and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).

 

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

Dispute Resolution

We encourage you to contact Voice of SAP via email at info@VoiceofSap.com, if you have concerns or complaints about the Platform. Generally, user complaints can be satisfactorily resolved this way. If we cannot resolve your concerns informally, disputes between you and Voice of SAP shall be resolved pursuant to this Section. At Voice of SAP’s sole discretion, it may require you to submit any disputes arising out of or relating to any aspect of your relationship with Voice of SAP, first to mediation in the Los Angeles County, California, U.S., then next to final and binding confidential arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying the laws of the State of California, without regard to its choice of law provisions. Under this Agreement, arbitrators can award the same individual relief affecting individual parties that a court can award, including damages and an award of attorneys’ fees, if the applicable law allows. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

 

Waiver; Severability

No waiver by Voice of SAP of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Voice of SAP to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

 

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. 

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Platform, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Platform and Services.

 

Force Majeure

Any failure or delay by Voice of SAP in the performance of its obligations pursuant to these Terms will not be deemed a default or breach of these Terms or a ground for termination to the extent such failure or delay is due to computer or Internet or telecommunications breakdowns, denial of service attacks, fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, pandemic, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, rebellions or revolutions in the U.S. or any nation where the obligations under these Terms are to be executed, strikes, supplier and third party failure, lockouts, or labor difficulties, or any similar cause beyond the reasonable control of Voice of SAP.
