15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
15.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you agree to send a notice of dispute to akii.puertorico@gmail.com with a brief description of the dispute and the relief sought. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.
15.2 Agreement to Arbitrate
Except as provided in Section 15.3, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms (including their formation, interpretation, breach, termination, or validity) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court.
This arbitration agreement is governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) to the extent applicable.
15.3 Exceptions
Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies and remains in that court. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or unauthorized access to the Service.
15.4 Arbitration Procedures; Seat; Language
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable rules (including the Consumer Arbitration Rules if applicable). The seat (legal place) of arbitration will be San Juan, Puerto Rico, unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitration will be conducted in English, unless the parties agree otherwise.
15.5 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND AKII AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
15.6 Jury Trial Waiver
IF A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, YOU AND AKII WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
15.7 Opt-Out
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending an email to akii.puertorico@gmail.com with subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your account email and username. Opting out will not affect any other provisions of these Terms.
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Akii, its affiliates, and their respective managers, members, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.
17. Governing Law; Venue (Non-Arbitrable Matters)
Except to the extent preempted by the FAA or other federal law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, without regard to conflict of law principles. For disputes not subject to arbitration, exclusive venue will be state or federal courts located in Puerto Rico, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
18. App Store / Platform Terms
Your use of the App may also be subject to third-party terms (e.g., Apple App Store terms). If these Terms conflict with mandatory platform rules applicable to the Service distribution, those platform rules control only to the extent required.
19. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the “Last Updated” date and, where legally required, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance.
