IMPLIED WARRANTIES
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

You may not copy or modify the Software.

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
You agree that any dispute between you and Bond Touch arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Products, or any other Bond Touch products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.
(a) Governing Law. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Terms and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
(b) Informal Dispute Resolution. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Bond Touch, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting [email protected]. We will try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after your initial submission of the claim, you or Bond Touch may bring a formal proceeding.
(c) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Bond Touch agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.
(d) Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.
(e) Arbitration Procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, San Mateo County, California, or any other location we agree to.
(f) Arbitration Fees. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Bond Touch will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
(g) Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or Bond Touch may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Mateo County, California, or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring legal action before any court, tribunal, or governmental agency solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Bond Touch Products or services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
(h) No Class Actions. You may only resolve Disputes with Bond Touch on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under our agreement.
(i) Judicial Forum for Disputes. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Bond Touch agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Mateo County, California. Both you and Bond Touch consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
(j) Limitation on Claims. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Bond Touch Products or services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
8. GENERAL PROVISIONS
The parties disclaim application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any order accepted by Bond Touch hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without Bond Touch’s express prior written consent.

The failure by Bond Touch to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
