14. Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH CAKE STUDIO AI AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

YOU AND CAKE STUDIO AI AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR CAKE STUDIO AI SERVICES SHALL BE FINALLY DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION GOVERNING CONSUMER DISPUTES.

Arbitration uses a single, neutral arbitrator to decide a dispute (instead of a judge or jury); arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in a court case; and the arbitration process and result is subject to very limited review by courts. In an arbitration you have the right, at your expense, to be represented by an attorney of your choosing. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief under these Terms that a court can award under these Terms. You and Cake Studio AI agree that any in-person arbitral hearing would occur in the United States in the same county and state as your billing address. Cake Studio AI further agrees that your filing fee for an arbitration will be capped at the amount set by the American Arbitration Association. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Cake Studio AI are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and/or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your use of Cake Studio AI Services. Further, unless both you and Cake Studio AI agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

15. Class Action Waiver

REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM, YOU AND Cake Studio AI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

16. Termination

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use Cake Studio AI Services at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that in such event we shall have no liability or obligation to you.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Cake Studio AI operates Cake Studio AI Services from Colorado, U.S.A. These Terms and the transactions they contemplate, including without limitation their interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, U.S.A., including its statutes of limitations, but without reference to conflict or choice of law provisions. The International Convention on the Sale of Goods, and other international treaties that are not mandatory with respect to contracts made and performed entirely in Colorado shall not apply. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be state and federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, and the parties agree not to raise, and waive, any objections or defenses based upon venue or forum non conveniens with respect to such courts.

18. Notice

All notices, demands, or consents given by you under these Terms will be in writing and will be deemed given when delivered to Cake Studio AI at the following contact: info@cakestudio.ai. Any notices to you may be made via either e-mail or postal mail to the address in Cake Studio AI's records or via posting on Cake Studio AI Services.

19. Severability

If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Cake Studio AI relating to your access to and use of Cake Studio AI Services. These Terms, and any rights granted hereunder, may not be transferred, or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Cake Studio AI. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent, or subsequent circumstance, and Cake Studio AI's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
