Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of FlavorLab shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in the appropriate courts, as determined by applicable law.

You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you waive any right to a jury trial.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms.

The remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent of the original provision.
