17. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Informal Resolution First

Before initiating any formal dispute process, you agree to contact us at hello@myorbit.space and describe your dispute in reasonable detail. We will attempt to resolve the matter informally within 30 days. This step is a condition precedent to arbitration.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the MiOrbit platform, or your relationship with Helios Nexus Inc shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, not in court. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator in the State of Delaware. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

The arbitrator has authority to award any relief that a court could award, including injunctive relief, on an individual basis only. The arbitrator does not have authority to conduct class, collective, or representative proceedings.

Class Action Waiver

YOU AND MIORBIT EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. All disputes must be brought in your individual capacity only.

If a court finds this class action waiver unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim shall be severed from arbitration and proceed in court, while all remaining claims stay in arbitration.

Exceptions

Either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration. Claims that by law cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration are excluded from this section.

Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first creating your MiOrbit account by emailing hello@myorbit.space with the subject line Arbitration Opt-Out and your account email address. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

18. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 17, any claims not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware. You consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
