These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Service. Please read them carefully.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE "DISPUTE RESOLUTION" SECTION (SECTION 10) OF THESE TERMS CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE THAT PROHIBITS CLASS ACTION CLAIMS AND REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE ARBITRATED INDIVIDUALLY. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US ARE RESOLVED. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE READ THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION CAREFULLY.

You agree and accept that we are not accountable for these risks, do not control your transactions, do not act on your behalf in any way and cannot assist you if the Service or the smart contracts fail to operate as intended. Consequently, you agree to assume full responsibility for all risks associated with accessing and using the Service.

The Service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for any damages arising from the use of the Service, including indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, special, or consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Your use of the Service is at your sole risk, and we are not responsible for damages or losses resulting from your use, including changes to or termination of the site, delay, failure, unauthorised access, alteration of transmission or data, transactions, activities of third parties, or data/material accessed through the site.

10.1. Informal Resolution

In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Shimmer Bridge ("Dispute"), you agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at the contact information provided in these Terms. We will make good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute amicably within a reasonable time.

10.2. Arbitration

If the Dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree to resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of JAMS Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures. You understand that you are required to resolve all Disputes by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be held on a confidential basis before a single arbitrator, who shall be selected pursuant to JAMS rules, the arbitration will be held in the Marshall Islands, unless you and we both agree to hold it elsewhere. The judgement upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the laws of the Marshall Islands and shall take place in Majuro, Marshall Islands, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties.

10.3. Class Action Waiver

You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us individually. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that you may only bring claims against us in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, 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.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Marshall Islands, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
