  • The amount you paid to Nometi for the Services during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim

Any dispute not subject to a separate arbitration agreement must be brought in the state or federal courts located in [County], California, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

You and Nometi consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

Before filing a formal legal claim, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

You must send a written notice describing:

  • Your name and contact information
  • The nature of the dispute
  • The facts supporting your claim

Send dispute notices to:

[legal@nometi.com]

We will attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency or injunctive relief where appropriate.

24. Copyright Complaints

If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through:

  • The Services
  • Email
  • A website notice
  • Another appropriate method

Unless otherwise stated, updated Terms become effective when posted.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective means you agree to the revised Terms.

The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where permitted by law.

28. Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.

A waiver is effective only if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Nometi.

29. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for a specific feature, form the entire agreement between you and Nometi concerning the Services.

They replace any prior agreements or understandings concerning the same subject matter.
