Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction
By visiting or using the Platform and/or the Service, you agree that the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, will govern these Terms. By agreeing to the Terms and using the Platform and the Service, you agree to agree to the binding arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms below. To the extent that any Claim (as that term is defined below) is not subject to arbitration under the agreement below, you and Jewelss.co agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in the courts located in Istanbul, Turkey for all purposes, and you agree to waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objection(s) to such court. Both parties agree that, in any such proceeding and to the maximum extent permitted by law, they are waiving the right to trial by jury.
Arbitration
Either party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in Istanbul, Turkey. As used in this provision, " Claim" shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and Jewelss.co (or officers, directors, employees, contractors, managers, members, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, or other persons claiming through or connected with Jewelss.co), on the other hand, in any way relating to or arising out of your relationship with Jewelss.co, including the Platform, the Services, these Terms and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including the validity or enforceability of this arbitration provision, provided that this provision shall not apply to any Claims arising under Federal securities laws. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this arbitration provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.
If we elect arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator's rules. We shall pay the administrator's hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator's rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorney's fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim that you may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending and jurisdiction is proper only in that court. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.
Unless otherwise provided in these Terms or consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not: (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this provision, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this agreement in this paragraph only shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or amendments to these Terms and the relationship of the parties; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any party hereto or other party; and (iii) any transfer of any securities, to any other party. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings included herein are finally adjudicated to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this arbitration provision.
If any provision of these Terms conflicts with a provision contained in any subscription agreement, share transfer agreement or similar agreement to which you and Jewelss.co are party, the terms of such other agreement shall control and shall be deemed to supercede the provisions of these Terms.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in these Terms, either Jewelss.co or you may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief without breach of the mandatory arbitration provisions set forth above.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY MAY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SHARES OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS MADE UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Jewelss.co, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents, contractors, members, managers, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with your User Content, any Third Party Content you post or share on or through the Platform, your use of the Service or the Platform, your conduct in connection with the Service or the Platform or with other Users of the Service or the Platform, or any violation of these Terms or of any law or the rights of any third party. The previous sentence shall not apply to any extent to Users while acting as an investor or while registering as an investor in connection with their: (i) posting of User Content; or (ii) use of the Platform or Service.
No Waiver
The failure of Jewelss.co to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
