24. Choice of Law, Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
These Terms will subject to and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its choice of law principles.
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the App, Site or Services or these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof(including as to the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate) (“Dispute”) will be determined by arbitration in accordance with the procedures in this paragraph, which will be the sole procedures for the resolution of any Dispute.
Any Dispute will be submitted to final and binding arbitration with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the“Rules”) then in effect, except as may be otherwise stated herein, before a neutral arbitrator appointed according to the Rules. The remedies available to the parties under applicable law remain available to the parties in arbitration. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm the award. The parties to the Dispute shall bear all arbitration costs equally to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except as may be necessary to enter judgment upon the award or to the extent required by applicable law, all claims, defenses and proceedings (including the existence of aDispute and the fact that there is an arbitration proceeding as well as the hearing itself)will be treated in a confidential manner by the arbitrator and all those involved in the proceeding. This arbitration provision will also be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
Any Dispute relating to the arbitration presented to a court will be filed under seal to the extent permitted by law. An arbitration award rendered pursuant to this paragraph will be final and binding on the parties and may be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction for entry of a judgment thereon, though the parties must maintain the confidentiality of the arbitration and/or award in connection therewith, including by filing the arbitration award under seal, to the extent permitted by law. Regardless of the foregoing, Bits Financial shall always have the right to seek and obtain temporary or preliminary injunctive relief or specific performance in any court of competent jurisdiction. This dispute resolution provision shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with Bits Financial.
You and Bits Financial waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving any Dispute in any forum.

You and BitsFinancial waive any right to have any Dispute arbitrated or adjudicated as a class or representative action or in any other form other than on an individual basis. You andBits Financial further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to arbitrate anyDispute as a class or representative action or in any other form other than on an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have power and authority to award only individual, non-class, and non-representative legal and equitable relief available in the courts of theState of Nevada. Notwithstanding any provision of the JAMS’ rules and procedures, only the federal and state courts, and not the arbitrator, shall have the power to determine compliance with this paragraph, including the interpretation, validity, and enforceability of each of the foregoing sentences.
You agree that Bits Financial may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Las Vegas, Nevada necessary to protect its rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.
If any Dispute is determined not to be subject to arbitration, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings concerning such Claim shall be the federal or state courts of competent jurisdiction sitting within Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Forum”) and the parties hereby waive (i) any right to a trial by jury with respect to any Dispute in such proceeding, (ii) any argument that the Forum or any court within it does not have personal jurisdiction and (iii) any argument that the Forum is not appropriate or convenient.
If either party initiates a proceeding involving any Dispute other than (i) an arbitration in accordance with this Section or (ii) a proceeding in small claims court permitted by this Section, other than in the Forum, the other party shall recover all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing this agreement and the agreed Forum.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you permanently and irrevocably waive the right to bring any Dispute unless you provide Bits Financial with written notice of the event or facts giving rise to the Dispute within one (1) year of their occurrence.
