13. Governing Law   


These Terms and your use of the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong SAR applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within Hong Kong SAR, without regard to its conflict of law principles.


14. Dispute Resolution  

14.1. Informal Negotiations


To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each "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 Disputes 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 Party.


14.2. Binding Arbitration


If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre ("HKIAC") and, where appropriate, the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules ("HKIAC Rules"), both of which are available at the HKIAC website: https://www.hkiac.org/. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the HKIAC Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the HKIAC Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable HKIAC Rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Hong Kong SAR. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.     


If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and courts located in Hong Kong SAR, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non convenience with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such courts.


In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.


14.3.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.


14.4.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 this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

15.1.Entire Agreement


These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Site, or with respect to the Site constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.

SmallRig shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.

15.4.Severability  


If a term of these Terms is determined by any court or other competent authority to be unlawful and/or unenforceable, the other terms will continue in effect. If any unlawful and/or unenforceable term would be lawful or enforceable if part of it were deleted, that part will be deemed to be deleted, and the rest of the term will continue in effect.


15.5. No Waiver   


A waiver by either party of any term or condition of these Terms, or any breach, in any one instance, will not waive that term or condition or any later breach.
