12.4 Exclusions. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pencive, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that such parties may incur as a result of or arising from:

  • Your use of the Service;
  • Your violation of these Terms;
  • Your violation of any rights of any other person or entity;
  • Your breach of any terms or conditions of your financial institutions in connection with your Linked Accounts.

Pencive reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Pencive in asserting any available defenses.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1 Governing Law. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you and Pencive agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware.

14.2 Agreement to Arbitrate. YOU AND PENCIVE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, BOTH PARTIES ARE GIVING UP THEIR RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.

14.3 Arbitration Rules and Forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section 14. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language and will occur in Delaware or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.4 Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Pencive will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

14.5 Exceptions to Arbitration. Nothing in these Terms will prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property, or unauthorized access to the Service.

14.6 Class Action Waiver. ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR PENCIVE MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF A COURT DECIDES THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS PARAGRAPH'S LIMITATIONS AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST PROCEED IN COURT AND BE SEVERED FROM ANY ARBITRATION.

14.7 30-Day Opt-out Period. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@pencive.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out of this arbitration agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you.

15. GENERAL PROVISIONS

15.1 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices and agreements published by Pencive, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pencive concerning the Service.

15.2 No Waiver. The failure of Pencive to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.

15.3 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be modified to reflect the parties' intention or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

15.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Pencive's prior written consent. Pencive may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction.

15.5 Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by Pencive under these Terms will be given by posting to the Service or by email. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

15.6 Export Control. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Service except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Service, and any other applicable laws.

15.7 Force Majeure. Pencive will not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms that is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters, strikes or labor shortages, internet or telecommunication failures or service interruptions, epidemics, pandemics, or other similar events. In the event of such a force majeure event, Pencive may suspend or terminate any or all of its obligations under these Terms.

15.8 No Agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Pencive in any respect whatsoever.

15.9 Headings. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
