17. Governing law

​

​

18. Dispute resolution

​

In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or your use of our services, both parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute informally, the dispute shall be submitted to mediation administered by a mutually agreed-upon mediator in Turku, Finland. If mediation is unsuccessful, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of Arbitration and Internal Rules of the European Court of Arbitration, being part of European Centre of Arbitration in Strasbourg. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both parts.

Each party shall bear its own costs associated with mediation and arbitration, and the parties shall share equally the fees of the mediator and arbitrator. This dispute resolution provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service.

​

Restrictions:

The parties agree that the arbitration of the dispute shall be limited to the parties individually. To the fullest extent permitted by the law, (a) each party agrees to resolve disputes only in their individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding; (b) neither party shall join any other proceedings or actions with respect to any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms; and (c) there is no right or authority to a dispute be brought on behalf of the general public or any other person.

​

Exceptions:

Notwithstanding the above, disputes related to intellectual property rights, unauthorized or illegal use, and the necessity for urgent injunctive relief may be subject to immediate legal action without prior engagement in mediation or arbitration.
