By accessing or using the Web Services, including as part of a Technical Preview or Evaluation, the individual accepting these Terms of Use represents they have authority to bind the entity or organization on whose behalf they are acting (“Customer”), and Customer agrees to be bound by these Terms of Use.

If Customer does not agree to these Terms of Use, Customer may not access or use any Web Services. Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted to the Web Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. 

Technology Previews have the meanings given in Chainguard’s online Master Service and License Agreement, located at https://www.chainguard.dev/legal/software-license-agreement, as updated from time to time (the “MSLA”). Chainguard may designate any feature, functionality, or portion of the Web Services as a Technology Preview or Evaluation by identifying it as such within the Web Services or related documentation. Chainguard may add, change, or remove any such designation from time to time. Any Web Services designated as a Technology Preview or Evaluation are subject to the terms applicable to Technology Previews under the MSLA, which are incorporated herein by reference.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms of Use by your continued use of the Web Services after the date such revised Terms of Use are posted.

9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

This Section applies only to the extent you are not subject to a separate written agreement with Chainguard that provides a different dispute resolution process.

9.1 Binding Arbitration. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to conflict of laws principles. Each Party agrees any dispute, claim, or controversy (“Dispute”) arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the use of the Web Services will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration proceedings, including any filings, evidence, and awards, shall be treated as confidential information of both parties. The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding arising under this Terms of Use shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to the state or federal courts located in Delaware for injunctive relief or for the collection of any undisputed amounts owed under this Terms of Use without breach of this arbitration provision. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE BROUGHT IN EACH PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. 

‍‍

9.2 Exceptions to Arbitration. The following Disputes are not subject to the Binding Arbitration provisions of Section 9.1: (i) any Dispute that qualifies for small claims court, which either you or Chainguard may bring in that court; (ii) any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, the intellectual property rights of you or Chainguard; (iii) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, privacy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (iv) any claim for injunctive or other equitable relief, including relief to prevent or enjoin the infringement or misappropriation of a party’s intellectual property rights. If any portion of this Section 9.2 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor Chainguard will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and you and Chainguard agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

9.3 Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver. Any arbitration under Section 9.1 shall be limited to the Dispute between you and Chainguard individually. To the full extent permitted by law: (i) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to use class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
