12.1 Governing Law
Except as provided in these Terms or required by applicable law, these Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. For any claims not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
12.2 Informal Dispute Resolution
If you have any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (a "Dispute"), you agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at magent.ai.app@gmail.com. You must provide a written notice describing the nature and basis of the Dispute and the specific relief sought. Both parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through good-faith negotiation for at least 45 days before pursuing formal resolution.
12.3 Dispute Resolution for Non-U.S. Users
For any Dispute that is not resolved informally within the 45-day period, and where you are not a U.S. resident, the Dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") in accordance with SIAC rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, with the seat of arbitration in Singapore. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, and the award shall be final and binding.
12.4 Dispute Resolution for U.S. Users
You and we agree that any Dispute will be resolved by final and binding arbitration. This means that there will be no court trial of such Dispute.
A. Binding Arbitration
Any Dispute not resolved through informal dispute resolution within 60 days shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM") pursuant to its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures.

D. Waiver of Class and Representative Actions
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE.
E. Batch Arbitration
To increase the efficiency of resolution, if fifty (50) or more similar arbitration demands are filed, the parties agree that NAM will administer them in batches of up to fifty (50) claimants each. Each batch will be treated as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of fees, and one hearing.
