updates, or releases in connection therewith.
18. GOVERNING LAW
These conditions are governed by and interpreted following the laws of the United
Kingdom, and the use of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. If your habitual residence is in the EU, and you
are a consumer, you additionally possess the protection provided to you by obligatory
provisions of the law of your country of residence. Tatask and yourself both agree to
submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of London, which means that you
may make a claim to defend your consumer protection rights in regards to these
Conditions of Use in the United Kingdom, or in the EU country in which you reside.
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim
related to these Terms of Service (each "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”)
brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”),
the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes
expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration.
Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other
Party.
Any dispute arising from the relationships between the Parties to this contract shall be
determined by one arbitrator who will be chosen in accordance with the Arbitration and
Internal Rules of the European Court of Arbitration being part of the European Centre of
Arbitration having its seat in Strasbourg, and which are in force at the time the
application for arbitration is filed, and of which adoption of this clause constitutes
acceptance. The seat of arbitration shall be the United Kingdom. The language of the
proceedings shall be English. Applicable rules of substantive law shall be the law of the
United Kingdom.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties
individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with
any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated
on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right
or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on
behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions
concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to
enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights
of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy,
invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this
provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to
arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or
unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction
within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
20. CORRECTIONS

omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information.
