29. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

29.1 Informal Resolution

• If a dispute arises, we encourage you to contact us directly to seek an informal resolution at support@inpairs.io.
• Both parties should use their best efforts to settle any dispute within 60 days of the dispute being notified.
• This informal resolution is a precondition for initiating arbitration.

29.2 Binding Arbitration

• If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and InPairs agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration, as governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

29.2.1 Arbitration Rules

• The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.
• AAA Rules and filing forms are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

29.2.2 Arbitration Location and Procedure

• Unless otherwise agreed, arbitration will take place in Delaware, or another mutually agreed location.
• If the claim is under $10,000, the arbitration will be based solely on documents unless a hearing is requested or deemed necessary.

• The arbitrator has the authority to resolve disputes regarding the arbitration agreement's applicability and enforceability.

29.2.5 Confidentiality

• All arbitration proceedings will remain confidential unless required by law.

29.4 Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions

• Claims must be arbitrated individually and cannot be combined with those of other users.
• If this waiver is deemed unenforceable, all disputes will be resolved in court, not through arbitration.

29.5 Opt-Out Procedure

• If arbitration is not opted out or if litigation occurs, the dispute will be resolved in courts in Delaware, unless required otherwise by your local laws.

29.8 Severability

• If any part of this arbitration agreement is unenforceable, the rest will remain valid, except if the class action waiver is found unenforceable.

29.9 Survival

• This arbitration agreement survives the termination of your relationship with InPairs.
