GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties agree to attempt, in good faith, to resolve any dispute related to these Terms through informal negotiation for thirty (30) days prior to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceedings. Failure to comply with this informal negotiation requirement shall result in dismissal of any arbitration or court proceeding without prejudice, and the non-complying party shall bear all costs and fees incurred by the other party in connection with such premature filing. Any unresolved disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, including disputes regarding the validity, interpretation, breach, or termination of these Terms, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted in Wyoming, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees; provided, however, that the prevailing party in any arbitration or litigation shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the non-prevailing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arcane Peptides may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, or to enforce payment obligations, without the requirement of posting a bond.

These Terms and any terms and agreements expressly incorporated herein by reference constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Arcane Peptides regarding the Website and the purchase and use of products, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Arcane Peptides.

Arcane Peptides reserves the right to update, modify, or replace any part of these Terms at any time in its sole discretion. Changes will be posted on this webpage and, for material changes, Arcane Peptides may provide notice via email to the address associated with your account.

If you do not agree to the modified terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Website and products.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent, or if such reformation is not possible, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

HEADINGS

The headings contained in these Terms are for reference only.
