Effect of Termination. Upon termination, we will make your data available for export for a period of 30 days, after which we may delete your User Content from our active systems. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including but not limited to intellectual property provisions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution.
11. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on the Service with a revised "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, by sending you an email notification.
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and close your account.
12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good faith negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, either party may initiate binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Delaware, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.
You agree that any proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction.
Force Majeure. We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
