Except as expressly set forth in the sections above regarding the Apple App Store and the arbitration agreement, you and SweatCo agree there are no third-party beneficiaries intended under these Terms of Use.
24. CHOICE OF LAW
These Terms of Use are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
25. Arbitration Agreement
ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with SweatCo and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from SweatCo. Both you and SweatCo acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, SweatCo’s officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms of Use, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Use against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.
(a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Delaware. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Costs of Arbitration. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. SweatCo will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than seventy-five thousand ($75,000) dollars. SweatCo will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
(c) Small Claims Court; Infringement. Either you or SweatCo may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Delaware or any United States county where you live or work. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND SWEATCO WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and SweatCo are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and SweatCo over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND SWEATCO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor SweatCo is entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.
(f) Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: c/o OHS Secretaries Limited, 9th Floor, 107 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6DN, UK, postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms of Use. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.
(g) Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (f), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or SweatCo to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and SweatCo agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, [venue ], or the federal district in which that county falls.
(h) Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with SweatCo.
26. DMCA Takedown Policy
In accordance with the DMCA, we’ve adopted the following policy toward copyright infringement. We reserve the right to (1) block access to or remove material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members or users and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.

(b) Once Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification is Received by the Designated Agent. Upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement, we reserve the right to:
(i) remove or disable access to the infringing material;
(ii) notify the content provider who is accused of infringement that we have removed or disabled access to the applicable material; and
(iii) terminate such content provider's access to the Sweatcoin Services if he or she is a repeat offender.
(c) Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent. If the content provider believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the content provider believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or, pursuant to the law, the content provider may send us a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent:
(i) A physical or electronic signature of the content provider;
(ii) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
(iii) A statement that the content provider has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and
