If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days of submission, You or CrockCozy may bring a formal proceeding.

16.2 Binding Arbitration

If We cannot resolve the dispute through informal resolution, You and CrockCozy agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or Your use of the Service (collectively, “Disputes“), shall be settled by binding arbitration, except that either party may take claims to small claims court if they qualify.

16.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring a lawsuit in court solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Service or infringement of intellectual property rights (e.g., trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process.

17.2 Waiver

Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under these Terms shall not affect a party’s ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver of a breach constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

No waiver by CrockCozy of any term or condition set out 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 of CrockCozy to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
