9.	GOVERNING LAW 

This Agreement will be governed and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to choice of law principles, and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. 

10.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (JURY TRIAL WAIVER) OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SPECIFIED SMALL CLAIMS) WITH REOWN, INC. AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM REOWN, INC. (NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS).

a.	Binding Arbitration; Disputes; Small Claims. You and We waive any right to a jury trial, or the right to have any Dispute resolved in any court, and instead accept the use of binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination); provided, however, that you have the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the Dispute, are satisfied. You agree to bring a Dispute in small claims court in the State of Delaware. "Dispute" as used in this Section 10 means any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy arising out of or in any way related to Us, this License, the subject matter of this License, or access to and use of the AppKit Items, in whole or in part, or the Network, including but not limited to personal injury disputes and disputes that involve third parties (such as developers of applications or wallets).

b.	No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and We agree that any Dispute is personal to You and Us, and that any Dispute must only be resolved by an individual arbitration and may not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither You nor We agree that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action whether inside or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.

c.	Federal Arbitration Act. You and We agree that the terms of this License affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of Section 10 is governed by, construed, and enforced, both substantively and procedurally, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA") to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

d.	Confidentiality. The arbitrator, You and We must maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including but not limited to, any and all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator has the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.

e.	Process. Our goal is to resolve claims fairly and quickly. Accordingly, for any Dispute that you have against Us, you must first contact Us and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to Us. The Notice to Us must be sent by certified mail addressed to: Reown Inc., 200 Continental Drive, 401, Newark, DE 19713 USA and a copy must be sent on the same day via email to Legal@walletconnect.com. The Notice must (a) include Your name, residence address, projectID and the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your account; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. If You and We cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after such Notice is received, then either party may, as appropriate in accordance with this Section 10, commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. 

f.	Binding Arbitration. In the event that You and We cannot resolve a Dispute and do not pursue the matter through small claims court, You or We must promptly submit the Dispute to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). In the event AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, You and We agree to use an arbitration forum or arbitrator that You and We mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, You and We are not able to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") then in effect. The AAA Rules and other information about AAA and arbitration are readily available at http://www.adr.org, by calling 1-800-778-7879, or by mail at 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271. By entering into this License, you either (1) acknowledge that you have read and understand the AAA Rules or (2) waive reading the AAA Rules and waive any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair in any way. You and We agree that the terms of this License govern the arbitration, and that the applicable AAA Rules are subject to changes in procedures that AAA may make from time to time.

g.	Arbitrator Empowered. As limited by the FAA, the terms of this License, and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute; provided, however, that this power does not include: (i) the power to determine the question of arbitrability, which power You and We agree is vested solely in a court of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) the power to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by the terms of this License (as stated above). The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration, and may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, or any proceeding on behalf of or involving more than one person or persons.

11.	MISCELLANEOUS

a.	Amendment. This License may be amended by Us on a prospective basis, and your usage of the License after such amendments or changes signifies your consent to and acceptance of any such amendments or changes on a going forward basis.

b.	Severability. In the event any provision of this License is determined to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction, this License must be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision has been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable.

c.	Assignment. You may not assign any rights or obligations under this License, including by operation of law, without Our prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. We may assign Our rights or obligations under this License in Our sole discretion.

d.	Waiver. Failure of either party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this License will not be construed as a waiver of such provisions or in any way affect the validity of this License or parts thereof.
