THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

7. GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
a. Governing Law. This TOS shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this TOS evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) ("FAA") governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement in Section 6(b) and preempts all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA is found to not apply to any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be resolved under and governed by the laws of the State of California. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Santa Clara County, California is the proper and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
b. Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM WILLOW. This Section 6(b) (the "Arbitration Agreement") applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and Willow that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (a) this TOS, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, or enforceability thereof; (b) the Products; or (c) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with Willow, directly or indirectly, as a consumer ("Claim" or collectively, "Claims"). The Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your agreement to this TOS.
For any Claim, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Willow has not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any Claim exclusively through binding arbitration by AAA before a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator"), under the Expedited Procedures then in effect for AAA (the "Rules"), except as provided herein. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement shall control. AAA may be contacted at www.adr.org, where the Rules are also available. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, unless you and Willow agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) AAA will require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from AAA; (ii) the arbitrator has the discretion to award the prevailing party costs of arbitration, reasonable attorney’s fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Willow agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether this TOS, any provision of this TOS, is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, or estoppel.
As provided in Section 6(a) above, nothing in this Section shall be deemed as: preventing Willow from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights; or preventing you from asserting claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances on only an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
If this Arbitration Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall have no impact on the remaining provisions of the Arbitration Agreement, which shall remain in force, or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in Santa Clara County, California. All other claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement shall be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that litigation of any dispute regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
c. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE PRODUCTS FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AND WILLOW AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER WILLOW USERS. YOU AND WILLOW FURTHER AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS TOS, YOU AND WILLOW ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER.
8. GENERAL.
a. Assignment. This TOS, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Willow without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

Willow may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business-related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Willow in our sole discretion. Willow reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our customers, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification. Willow is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us.

When we change this TOS in a material manner, we will update the ‘last modified’ date and may notify you that material changes have been made to this TOS. Your continued use of the Products after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new terms of sale. If you do not agree to any of this TOS or any future terms of sale, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Products.
c. Entire Agreement/Severability. This TOS, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Willow in connection with the Products, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Willow concerning the Products. Except as otherwise stated in Section 6(b), if any provision of this TOS is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this TOS, which shall remain in full force and effect.
d. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this TOS shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Willow’s failure to assert any right or provision under this TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
