You may not assign, transfer, or delegate the Terms of Use or any part thereof without ZYYAH’s prior written consent. ZYYAH may freely transfer, assign, or delegate all or any part of the Terms of Use, and any rights or duties hereunder or thereunder. The Terms of Use will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, and permitted assignees of the parties.
We will not be deemed to be in breach of these Terms of Use or liable for any breach of these Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy due to any event or occurrence beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, terrorism, war, invasion, failures of any public networks, electrical shortages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, epidemic, pandemic, fire, or other disaster.

All matters relating to the Website or Application and these Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use, the Website, or the Application shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Texas. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. You acknowledge that ZYYAH has the right under the Terms of Use to seek an injunction, if necessary, to stop or prevent a breach of your obligations under the Terms of Use.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 29. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting us at our Notice address listed below.) You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
If you seek arbitration or elect to file a small claim court action, you must first send ZYYAH, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (a “Notice”) to our General Counsel at ZYYAH, 2701 Sunset Ridge Drive, Suite 302, Rockwall, TX 75032. If ZYYAH initiates the arbitration, it will send such Notice to you in accordance with this section. A Notice, whether sent by you or ZYYAH, must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) describe the specific relief sought (the “Demand”). If you and ZYYAH do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or ZYYAH may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.
You may download or copy of form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at https://www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after ZYYAH receives the Notice at the address listed above that you have commenced arbitration, ZYYAH will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000, in which event you will be responsible for the filing fees.
If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If you claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of ZYYAH last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if ZYYAH did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then ZYYAH will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
This arbitration clause shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be as set forth above.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THE WEBSITE, OR THE APPLICATION MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
No waiver by ZYYAH of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any delay or failure on the part of ZYYAH to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
