10. Governing Law

Applicable Law and Class Action Waiver

You agree that these Terms and any claim or dispute that arises between you and PlayRatedGames.com will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. You also agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, waiving your right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury and to participate in any class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions. By agreeing to these Terms, you explicitly waive the right to trial by jury and to participate in class or representative proceedings. Any arbitration or legal action must take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are strictly prohibited.

Binding Arbitration

If disputes cannot be resolved through informal negotiation, you or PlayRatedGames.com may elect to resolve such disputes through binding arbitration. This arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and, where applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (AAA Consumer Rules), available at www.adr.org. Arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court if necessary.

The arbitration process may occur in person, via document submissions, by phone, or online. Arbitrator decisions will be in writing, and arbitration fees will follow AAA Rules, with potential financial adjustments if fees are deemed excessive. Arbitration must adhere to applicable law, and awards may be challenged for non-compliance.

You may still litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings, or confirm, modify, or vacate arbitration awards.

Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes

If the binding arbitration clause is found not to apply, you agree that disputes between you and PlayRatedGames.com will be resolved exclusively in a state or federal court located in New York City, New York. Both parties consent to the jurisdiction of these courts for resolving disputes.
