9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
9.1 Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
9.2 Informal Dispute Resolution
Mandatory Informal Resolution: Before filing any lawsuit or legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve any dispute informally.
Process:
- Send a detailed written description of the dispute to: pro [at] professionals.wiki
- Include your contact information and desired resolution
- We will respond within 30 days
- Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith for at least 30 days
If informal resolution fails, either party may pursue formal legal action as described below.
9.3 Binding Arbitration (Optional)
If informal resolution fails, either party may choose to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration instead of court litigation. Arbitration is optional but, if chosen by either party, becomes mandatory and binding.
Arbitration Rules:
- Administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules
- Conducted in California or online/via telephone (at the option of the party initiating arbitration)
- Before a single arbitrator
- Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction
Cost Allocation:
- Each party pays their own attorney fees and costs
- Arbitration filing fees and arbitrator fees will be split equally unless prohibited by law
Exceptions to Arbitration: Either party may seek relief in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights.
9.4 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND PROFESSIONALS WIKI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable, then the arbitration agreement in Section 9.3 shall be null and void.
9.5 Jurisdiction and Venue
For any disputes resolved in court (whether because arbitration was not chosen or for exceptions noted above), you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California, United States.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Website immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including without limitation ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
11. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
12. Waiver
No waiver by Professionals Wiki of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
