These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter, or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the applicable state laws, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the United States for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. You waive any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

15. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Informal Resolution Period: Before initiating any arbitration or legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us through our Contact page and attempt to resolve any dispute informally for a period of at least thirty (30) days. During this informal resolution period, the parties shall engage in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute through negotiation. If the dispute is not resolved within this thirty (30) day period, either party may then proceed with arbitration as set forth below.

Mandatory Binding Arbitration: If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute through the informal resolution process described above, any controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, shall be determined by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND PET DOG EXPERT AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR MULTI-PARTY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND PET DOG EXPERT AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).

Small Claims Court Exception: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within the jurisdiction of such court, provided the action remains in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.

Opt-Out Right: You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to our Contact page. Your opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of binding arbitration. If you opt out of binding arbitration, you and Pet Dog Expert agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts specified in the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section above.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the parties to the greatest extent possible. If such modification is not possible, the invalid provision shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17. Waiver

No waiver by Pet Dog Expert of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by Pet Dog Expert to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The rights and remedies provided in these Terms are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or equity. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Disclosure Policy, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Pet Dog Expert regarding your use of the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, warranties, and communications, both written and oral, with respect to the Site. No other terms, conditions, representations, warranties, or agreements, whether written or oral, express or implied, which are not set forth herein shall be binding upon either party.

19. Assignment

Pet Dog Expert may freely assign, transfer, or delegate its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to you. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Pet Dog Expert. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or delegation by you without such consent shall be null and void. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

20. Force Majeure

Pet Dog Expert shall not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these Terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to:
