18.1 Scope — this section vs. Paddle
Purchases are made through Paddle, our merchant of record, under Paddle's own Buyer Terms. Any dispute about a charge, refund, or billing matter is between you and Paddle under those terms, and Paddle's own governing law and dispute-resolution provisions apply to it. This Section 18 governs everything else — disputes about the Service itself, your account, or Content — between you and Videmora directly.
18.2 Governing law
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service (other than a payment or billing dispute covered by Section 18.1), are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles — consistent with the law that already governs our relationship with Paddle — except as Section 9 preserves mandatory local consumer protections for UK, EU, Australian, and Canadian consumers.
18.3 Informal resolution
Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at the address in Section 20 and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
18.4 Arbitration
If a dispute is not resolved informally within 30 days, either party may refer it to binding arbitration administered under the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) Rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in London, England, conducted in English, rather than in court — except that either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims-equivalent court if it qualifies, and except as Section 9 preserves a consumer's right to bring proceedings in their own country's courts where local law makes that right non-waivable.
18.5 Class action waiver
YOU AND VIDEMORA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
18.6 Right to opt out
You may opt out of Section 18.4's arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Section 20 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts of England and Wales instead, and both parties waive any right to a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.
