Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
If you reside in the United States, Canada, Israel, Australia, or other international regions, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

You and Venture 8 Technologies LLC or Venture 8 Technologies yg LTD (as applicable) agree to resolve any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (a “Dispute”) through binding arbitration, unless you opt out as described below.

Informal Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute informally by notifying the other party and allowing up to 30 days for a response. Notice must be sent to support@icaughtyou.com.
Arbitration Process
If informal resolution fails, the Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator and may be held via written submissions, phone, or video conference, unless an in-person hearing is required. If an in-person hearing is necessary and you reside in the U.S., it will take place in Miami, Florida. For non-U.S. users, the arbitrator will determine a reasonable location under applicable rules.
The arbitrator may award the same remedies available in court, but only on an individual basis. No class, consolidated, or representative claims are allowed in arbitration.

These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Venture 8 Technologies LLC or Venture 8 Technologies yg LTD (as applicable) and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings related to the Services.
