18. Arbitration Agreement & Class Action Waiver

You and Mystic Forge, Inc. agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services, these Terms, or your use of the platform shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, and not in court. You waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, private attorney general actions, or any other representative proceedings. Arbitration shall be conducted by a recognized arbitration provider under its applicable rules. The arbitrator has authority to resolve all disputes, including issues of arbitrability. The only exception to this arbitration requirement is that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first using the Services by submitting a written notice to Mystic Forge, Inc. If you do not opt out, this arbitration agreement is binding and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19. International Users & Region-Specific Terms

The Services are operated by Mystic Forge, Inc. from the United States. Users accessing the Services from outside the United States are responsible for complying with local laws. Certain provisions of these Terms, including the arbitration agreement and class action waiver, may not be enforceable in some jurisdictions. In such cases, only the unenforceable portion is modified to the minimum extent required by local law, and all remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Regardless of location, all intellectual property rights, ownership terms, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and usage restrictions apply universally.

20. Global Compliance

Mystic Forge, Inc. operates globally and complies with applicable international laws to the extent required. Users accessing the Services from outside the United States are responsible for ensuring that their use complies with local laws and regulations. Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted to require Mystic Forge to comply with any foreign law that does not apply to it as a U.S.-based entity.

21. International Data Transfers

By using the Services, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where Mystic Forge, Inc. or its service providers operate. These locations may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required by law, Mystic Forge implements appropriate safeguards, such as contractual data protection clauses, to ensure lawful international data transfers.

22. Region-Specific Terms

Certain jurisdictions, including the European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, and others, provide consumers with rights that cannot be waived by contract. In such regions, the provisions of these Terms apply except where prohibited by local law. Only the specific portion that conflicts with mandatory local law is modified, and all remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions shall remain fully valid and enforceable. The invalidity of one provision does not affect the validity of the rest.

24. No Conflict With Local Law

These Terms are intended to comply with applicable laws. If any provision conflicts with mandatory legal requirements in your jurisdiction, that provision is deemed modified only to the extent necessary to comply, and all other provisions remain unchanged.

25. Protection of Affiliates

All disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification obligations, and dispute resolution provisions in these Terms apply equally to Mystic Forge, Inc., Ecliptix Holdings LLC, their officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, affiliates, and any future entities under common ownership or control.

26. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, collective, or representative action. This includes private attorney general actions and public injunction claims, except where such waivers are prohibited by local law.

27. No Public Injunction Relief

To the extent permitted by law, you waive the right to seek or obtain public injunctive relief or any remedy that would affect users other than yourself. If such a waiver is prohibited in your jurisdiction, the claim may be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction after all individual claims subject to arbitration have been resolved.

28. No Representative Claims

You agree not to act as a representative or private attorney general on behalf of any other user or group of users. Any attempt to bring a representative claim is void to the fullest extent permitted by law.

29. International Jurisdiction

Except where prohibited by local law, all disputes shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Where local law requires otherwise, disputes shall be governed by the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction, but all other provisions of these Terms remain enforceable.
