Informal Resolution
Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at legal@alosoftware.com to attempt to resolve the matter informally. We will work in good faith to resolve any disputes.
Binding Arbitration
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any legal dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.
Arbitration Rules
Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be held in San Francisco, California, or another location we mutually agree upon.
Class Action Waiver
You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding will be limited to the dispute between you and ALO Software individually. You waive any right to participate in class action lawsuits or class-wide arbitrations.
These Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
Right to Modify
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
