13. Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

13.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Ogmen Law PLLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than by a court, except as described below. Arbitration is the exclusive method of dispute resolution for Disputes between you and Ogmen Law PLLC, except as provided in Section 13.5. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Ogmen Law PLLC each waive any right to a jury trial in any Dispute.

13.2 Rules and Forum

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable rules (including the Consumer Arbitration Rules, if applicable), as modified by these Terms. Arbitration will take place in New York, New York, or Hackensack, New Jersey (or another mutually agreed location), in English.

13.3 Federal Arbitration Act

The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

13.4 Individual Basis Only – No Class Actions

You and Ogmen Law PLLC agree that each may bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of multiple persons or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

13.5 Exceptions

You or Ogmen Law PLLC may bring an individual action in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction. You or Ogmen Law PLLC may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidentiality rights.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any Disputes are governed by the laws of the State of New York and, where applicable, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Subject to the arbitration provisions above, for any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration (or where arbitration is not enforced), you agree that the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, or Bergen County, New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction.

15. Changes to These Terms

Ogmen Law PLLC may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will become effective when posted on the Services or otherwise communicated to you.

Where required, we will seek your explicit consent to material changes (for example, by presenting updated Terms and requiring you to click “I agree” before accessing certain portals or applications). Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

  • If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
  • Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
  • These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
