Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other.

Binding Arbitration

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms, including any questions regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the International Commercial Arbitration Court under the European Arbitration Chamber (Belgium, Brussels, Avenue Louise, 146) according to its Rules, which are considered part of this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be [insert number]. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Montreal, Canada. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Legal Terms shall be the substantive law of Canada.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law: (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If any portion of this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.

25. User Data

We will maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the performance of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. While we perform regular routine backups of data, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that relates to any activities you undertake using the Services.

You agree that we shall have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of such data, and you hereby waive any right of action against us arising from any loss or corruption of this data.

26. Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signatures

By accessing our Services, sending us emails, or completing forms online, you are engaging in electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically—whether via email or through the Services—satisfy any legal requirements that such communications be in writing.

Furthermore, you consent to the use of electronic signatures and to the formation of contracts, orders, and other records electronically. You also agree to the electronic delivery of notices, policies, and records of transactions that are initiated or completed by us or through our Services. By accepting these Terms, you waive any rights or legal requirements in your jurisdiction that might otherwise necessitate original signatures, paper-based records, or non-electronic forms of communication or payment.

28. Miscellaneous

These Legal Terms, together with any policies or operating rules we have posted on or in connection with our Services, represent the entire agreement between you and Bitleap. They supersede all prior agreements, understandings, communications, or proposals, whether written or oral, relating to your use of the Services.

The failure on our part to enforce any provision or right within these Legal Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms will continue to apply in full force to the maximum extent permitted by law. We reserve the right to assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Legal Terms to any third party at any time.

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation due to unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, wars, pandemics, or technological failures. If any part of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that part will be severed from the agreement without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

These Legal Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and Bitleap. You agree that these Terms will not be interpreted against us simply because we drafted them. Additionally, by agreeing to these Terms in electronic form, you waive any defense or argument related to the absence of physical signatures.
