12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

12.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. All users, including but not limited to applicants, investors, job seekers, customers, and others, agree to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws relating to their use of the Services (as defined in Section 1.4).

12.2 Jurisdiction and Venue

Any legal disputes arising out of or related to these Terms, whether arbitrable or not, shall be exclusively resolved in the state or federal courts located in or nearest to Saint Charles County, Missouri, United States. You expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objections regarding venue based on inconvenient forum or similar grounds.

Specific Venue:

For the avoidance of doubt, disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Saint Charles County, Missouri, specifically at the St. Charles County Circuit Court located at 300 North Second Street, Saint Charles, Missouri 63301, or at another venue within St. Charles County, Missouri, or a nearby county/city in Missouri, as designated by Solvyn at its sole discretion. Missouri law will govern all disputes, regardless of conflict of laws rules.

Timing and Date:

Solvyn reserves the right to determine the timing and date for any court proceedings or mediation sessions. You agree to be available for such proceedings at a time and date chosen by Solvyn, provided that reasonable notice (at least 30 days) is given.

Location of Solvyn's Choosing:

Disputes may be resolved at a location designated by Solvyn within St. Charles County, Missouri, or a nearby county/city in Missouri. This location will be specified in the notice provided to you regarding the dispute resolution process.

Binding Nature:

By using Solvyn's services, you agree to this jurisdiction and venue clause and acknowledge that it is a material term of these Terms. You understand that this clause is intended to be binding and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.3 Dispute Resolution Process

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms—including their formation, interpretation, breach, or termination—shall be resolved in accordance with the following process:

• Arbitrable Disputes: If the dispute is arbitrable, it shall first be submitted to binding mediation conducted by a neutral third-party mediator selected by Solvyn at its sole discretion. If the dispute is not resolved through mediation within thirty (30) days from its initiation, it shall then proceed to binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be administered by a reputable organization, such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS, at Solvyn’s discretion. The tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator with expertise in the relevant subject matter. The place of arbitration shall be within Missouri, United States, specifically designated by Solvyn, and all proceedings shall be conducted in English.

• Non-Arbitrable Disputes: If the dispute is not subject to arbitration, it shall be resolved in the courts designated in Section 12.2. The venue for such disputes shall also be chosen by Solvyn at its sole discretion within St. Charles County, Missouri, or a nearby county/city in Missouri.

12.4 Cost Allocation

The initiating party shall be responsible for the initial filing fees and other costs required to commence arbitration, provided such fees do not exceed $500. If the initiating party substantially prevails as determined by the arbitrator, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all arbitration costs, including reasonable and verifiable attorney's fees and associated expenses incurred during the arbitration process. Conversely, if the initiating party does not substantially prevail, they shall be liable for all arbitration costs and reasonable and verifiable attorney's fees incurred by Solvyn, regardless of the arbitrator's findings.

To deter frivolous claims, if the arbitrator determines that the initiating party's claim is frivolous, has no legal basis, or is intended to harass Solvyn, the initiating party shall be responsible for all of Solvyn's arbitration costs, including reasonable and verifiable attorney's fees and expenses incurred during the arbitration. For multiple frivolous claims, the fees and costs may escalate at Solvyn's discretion to reflect the increased burden of such filings.

12.5 Definitions

For purposes of this section:

• "Frivolous Claims": Claims with no legal basis, primarily intended to harass or embarrass, or filed without a reasonable expectation of success.

• "Substantially Prevails": A party shall be deemed to have substantially prevailed if it achieves the primary relief sought in the arbitration, or if it wins a majority of its claims or defenses regardless of the overall outcome. This determination will consider the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the claims, the amount of relief sought, and the agreement between the parties.

12.6 Attorney's Fees

Each party shall bear its own attorney's fees and miscellaneous expenses arising from the arbitration; however, if Solvyn substantially prevails, the non-prevailing party shall reimburse Solvyn for all incurred costs, including reasonable and verifiable attorney's fees, without limitation. Furthermore, if the arbitrator determines that the user's claim lacks merit, the user shall be liable for all costs incurred by Solvyn.

12.7 Confidentiality

All mediation and arbitration proceedings, including statements and documents exchanged, shall remain confidential. Parties shall not disclose the existence, content, or results of the arbitration or mediation without prior written consent, except as required by law. The arbitrator shall also maintain confidentiality and include this requirement in any binding decision rendered. Any breach of confidentiality may result in legal claims for damages against the offending party.

12.8 Individual Arbitration

Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and shall not be consolidated with any other proceedings. You waive your right to participate in any class action lawsuits or class-wide arbitrations, and agree that no arbitrator shall have the authority to conduct any class or representative arbitration.

12.9 Injunctive Relief and Emergency Arbitrator

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event of an urgent dispute requiring immediate relief, Solvyn may request the appointment of an emergency arbitrator from the chosen arbitration organization to grant temporary measures. All decisions regarding the time, location, and venue of such arbitration shall be made solely by Solvyn and shall occur within Saint Charles County, Missouri. This provision ensures that Solvyn is equipped to protect its interests effectively in urgent situations.

12.10 Time Limits

Any request for mediation or arbitration must be initiated within six (6) months from the date the dispute arose. Failure to initiate within this timeframe will result in the waiver of the claim.

12.11 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent. This applies to all prior, current, and future users, customers, and affiliates of Solvyn and its Services (as defined in Section 1.4).

12.12 Waiver of Rights

Any waiver of any rights or provisions in this section shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or provisions. No single waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver. Any modifications to this section must be made in writing and signed by both parties.

12.13 Notification Requirements

Any party wishing to initiate mediation or arbitration must provide written notice of such intention to the other party in accordance with the communication provisions set forth in these Terms.

13. General Provisions

13.1 Modifications to Terms: Solvyn reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. Any revisions will be posted directly on our legal page of the website (solvyn.com/legal), and it is your responsibility to check this page periodically for any updates.

13.2 Governing Law and Jurisdiction: These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Missouri, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located within Missouri.

13.3 Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent. This clause applies to the entire document and all its provisions, ensuring that the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions are not affected by any invalid or unenforceable provision.

13.4 No Verbal Agreements or Implications: Any interactions, discussions, or engagements you have with Solvyn, including but not limited to applications, interviews, analyses, or any other forms of communication or engagement, shall not create any binding contractual or consulting agreement. All agreements regarding services, partnerships, or any business arrangements with Solvyn must be clearly defined in a written agreement signed by both parties to be considered valid.

13.5 Entire Agreement: These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Solvyn and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations, both oral and written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

13.6 No Waiver: The failure of Solvyn to enforce or exercise any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If Solvyn does not enforce any right or provision at any time, it does not mean that Solvyn has waived that right or provision in the future. Any waiver of a right or provision must be in writing and signed by both parties to be effective. This clause applies to the entire document and all its provisions, ensuring that no failure to enforce or exercise any right or provision shall be deemed a waiver unless explicitly stated in writing.
