1. Songscription, Inc. Service Overview
The Service offers AI-driven music tools that, among other things, enable users to automatically transcribe audio files into sheet music and various digital formats (e.g., MIDI) (“Output”). The Service includes the Songscription web application and the AnythingPiano mobile application (the “App”), which allows users to practice piano by creating transcriptions, recording audio playback of their practice sessions, and receiving feedback comparing their performance against transcriptions.
“Credit” or “Credits” shall mean a unit of value that may be redeemed for Eligible Services, including Transactions and other uses as specified on the Service. Credits include both Purchased Credits and Subscription Credits (each as defined below). Unless otherwise specified, references to “Credits” in these Terms apply to both Purchased Credits and Subscription Credits. Credits have no cash value, are not legal tender, and are not redeemable for cash except as required by applicable law.
“Purchased Credits” shall mean Credits that you acquire through a Credit Purchase (i.e., by paying for them directly through the Service). Purchased Credits do not expire while your account remains active and in good standing, except as set forth in Section 4.8.
“Subscription Credits” shall mean Credits that are allocated to your account as part of a Subscription Service tier, as described on the Service pricing page. Subscription Credits are provided at no additional charge beyond your Subscription fee and expire at the end of each Billing Period (as defined in Section 4.3) in which they are allocated. Subscription Credits do not roll over to subsequent Billing Periods and are forfeited if unused by the end of the applicable Billing Period.
“Credit Balance” shall mean the total number of unused Credits associated with your account at any given time, as displayed in your account interface.
“Credit Purchase” shall mean any transaction in which you purchase Credits for use on the Service, whether by credit card, debit card, in-app purchase, or other payment method accepted by Company.
“Eligible Service” shall mean any Service feature, output, Transaction, or functionality that Company designates as redeemable with Credits, as specified on the Service or in the applicable product interface at the time of redemption.
“Transaction” shall mean an individual a la carte purchase or redemption—whether paid directly or via Credits—for a single output, such as a digital sheet music edition produced by a User prompt.
“Audio Recording” shall mean any audio captured through the App’s microphone functionality, including recordings of a user’s piano practice sessions or other playback.
“Performance Data” shall mean any data, metrics, feedback, or analysis generated by the Service comparing a user’s Audio Recording to a Transcription, including accuracy scores, timing analysis, and suggested corrections.
“Transcription” shall mean any musical notation, sheet music, or digital representation of a musical work created by a user within the App, as distinct from Output generated automatically by the Service’s AI.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18 but at least 13 years old, you may use the Service only with the consent and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a minor, you are fully responsible for the minor’s use of the Service, including all financial charges and legal liability. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that:
(a) you are at least 18 years old;
(b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service;
(c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations;

(e) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
(f) if you are a parent or legal guardian consenting on behalf of a minor, you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be bound by them on behalf of such minor.
If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
3. Accounts and Registration
To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email address, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading, and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you should immediately notify us at support@songscription.ai.
4. General Payment Terms
Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in these Terms, all fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable, except as required by law.
4.1 Price
Company reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Company will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to check our pricing page periodically for current pricing information. Company may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Company gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Company, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Company’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
4.2 Authorization
You authorize Company to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by Company, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, then Company may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
4.3 Subscription Service
The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. Subscription Periods may be offered on a monthly or annual basis, as specified on the applicable pricing page. If you select an annual Subscription Period, you will be billed for the full annual fee at the beginning of each Subscription Period. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Company or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see our pricing page at https://www.songscription.ai/pricing. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. You must cancel your Subscription Service before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. Company or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us. You may cancel the Subscription Service by either cancelling your subscription within the account interface of the Service or by contacting us at support@songscription.ai. YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
4.4 Delinquent Accounts
Company may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of the unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then Company reserves the right to delete your account and any information or User Content (defined below) associated with your account without any liability to you.
4.5 Credit Purchases and A La Carte Transactions
Purchase of Credits. You may purchase Credits through the Service for use with the A La Carte Service and other Eligible Services. Credits are sold in denominations and at prices published on the Service at the time of purchase. Company reserves the right to modify Credit pricing at any time; provided, however, that any price changes will apply only to Credits purchased after such changes become effective and will not affect Credits previously purchased.
Payment Terms. All Credit Purchases are subject to the authorization and payment provisions set forth in Section 4.2 (Authorization). By completing a Credit Purchase, you authorize Company to charge the applicable amount, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. Credit Purchases made through third-party app stores (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play) are subject to the payment terms of such platforms, and any disputes regarding payment must be resolved with the applicable platform.
Taxes. You are responsible for any applicable sales, use, value-added, or other taxes imposed on your Credit Purchase, unless Company is legally required to collect and remit such taxes on your behalf. All prices displayed are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.
Receipt and Confirmation. Following a Credit Purchase, Company will issue you an electronic receipt or confirmation to the email address associated with your account. You are responsible for retaining a copy of your receipt for your records.
Currency. All Credit Purchases are denominated and payable in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise specified on the Service.
4.6 Credit Usage and Redemption
Redemption. Credits may be redeemed for Eligible Services as designated by Company on the Service. The number of Credits required for each Eligible Service will be displayed at the time of redemption. Company reserves the right to modify the Credit redemption rates for any Eligible Service at any time; provided, however, that such changes will apply prospectively and will not affect Transactions for which Credits have already been redeemed.
Credit Balance. You may view your current Credit Balance at any time through your account interface. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain accurate Credit Balance records; however, in the event of a discrepancy, Company's records will control unless you can demonstrate manifest error.
Eligible Services. Not all Service features may be redeemable with Credits. Company will designate which features constitute Eligible Services and may modify the scope of Eligible Services from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, Credits may not be redeemed for Subscription Service fees unless Company expressly permits such redemption.
Restrictions on Use. You may redeem Credits only for your own personal, non-commercial use, consistent with the license granted in Section 5.1 (Limited License). You may not use Credits to generate, download, or access Digital Sheet Music Files or Outputs for any commercial purpose, including sale, sublicense, or redistribution, except as expressly permitted by Company.
Order of Application. Unless otherwise specified, when you redeem Credits for an Eligible Service, Company will apply Credits in the following order: (i) first, any Subscription Credits allocated in the current Billing Period (applied on a first-in, first-out basis within that category); and (ii) second, any Purchased Credits (applied on a first-in, first-out basis within that category). This order of application is designed to ensure that expiring Subscription Credits are used before non-expiring Purchased Credits.
Minimum Balance. If your Credit Balance is insufficient to complete a Transaction, Company may offer you the option to (i) purchase additional Credits to complete the Transaction or (ii) pay any remaining balance via an alternative payment method, in each case subject to availability and applicable fees.
4.7 Non-Transferability
No Transfer. Credits are personal to you and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, gifted, traded, bartered, or otherwise conveyed to any other person or entity, whether for value or otherwise, except as expressly permitted by Company or required by applicable law. Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 4.7 shall be void and may result in forfeiture of the transferred Credits and suspension or termination of your account.
No Combining. Credits may not be combined across multiple accounts. Each account's Credit Balance is independent, and Company will not merge Credit Balances under any circumstances.
Account Access. Credits may only be redeemed by the account holder associated with the Credit Purchase. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials; any use of Credits by a person accessing your account with your credentials will be deemed authorized use.
4.8 Non-Refundability and Forfeiture
Non-Refundable. ALL CREDIT PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Company will not provide refunds or credits for any unused Credits, partially used Credits, or Credits that have expired or been forfeited, except as required by law.
Expiration of Purchased Credits. Purchased Credits do not expire while your account remains active and in good standing, except as follows:
If your account is terminated by Company for breach of these Terms, all Credits associated with your account (including both Purchased Credits and any remaining Subscription Credits) will be forfeited immediately upon termination without refund.
If your account remains inactive (i.e., no login, Credit Purchase, or Transaction) for a continuous period of twenty-four (24) months, Company may, upon thirty (30) days' prior notice to the email address associated with your account, deem your Credits abandoned and forfeit such Credits in accordance with applicable state unclaimed property (escheatment) laws.
California Residents: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a California resident, your Purchased Credits will not expire due to inactivity, and Company will not impose any dormancy, service, or inactivity fees on your Purchased Credit balance, in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1749.45 et seq. Company may, however, be required to remit the cash value of unredeemed Purchased Credits to the State of California as unclaimed property after the statutory dormancy period.
Expiration of Subscription Credits. Subscription Credits expire automatically at the end of each Billing Period in which they are allocated. Unused Subscription Credits do not roll over to subsequent Billing Periods and are not refundable, convertible to Purchased Credits, or redeemable for cash. You acknowledge that Subscription Credits are a use-it-or-lose-it benefit included in your Subscription and that Company has no obligation to refund, credit, or compensate you for any expired Subscription Credits. The expiration of Subscription Credits at the end of each Billing Period applies to all users, including California residents, because Subscription Credits are not “purchased” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1749.5 but are instead a component of your Subscription Service benefit.
Forfeiture Upon Termination. If these Terms are terminated for any reason (whether by you or by Company), or if your account is suspended or terminated for violation of these Terms, all unused Credits in your account—including both Purchased Credits and Subscription Credits—will be forfeited without refund, except as required by applicable law. You acknowledge that Company's termination rights under Section 13.2 (Termination) apply to Credits, and you will not be entitled to any refund, credit, or compensation for forfeited Credits.
Promotional Credits. Company may, from time to time, issue promotional or bonus Credits (“Promotional Credits”) at no charge. Promotional Credits may be subject to additional terms, including expiration dates, usage restrictions, and forfeiture conditions, which will be specified at the time of issuance. Promotional Credits may not be combined with Purchased Credits for purposes of determining refund eligibility, if any. Unless otherwise specified, Promotional Credits will be applied after Subscription Credits but before Purchased Credits when redeeming for Eligible Services.
4.9 Credit System Modifications
Changes to Credit Program. Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Credit system, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. In the event Company discontinues the Credit system entirely, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with at least thirty (30) days' prior notice and, during such notice period, you will have the opportunity to redeem any unused Credits for Eligible Services. After such notice period, any remaining unredeemed Credits may be forfeited without refund, except as required by applicable law.
No Vested Rights. You acknowledge that Credits do not constitute property and that you have no ownership interest, vested right, or entitlement in or to any Credits, Credit Balance, or the Credit system. The Credit system is a convenience feature provided at Company's sole discretion.
4.10 Subscription Credits
Subscription Credits. Certain Subscription tiers may include an allocation of Subscription Credits as part of the Subscription benefits; the number of Subscription Credits included in each tier (if any) is described on the Service pricing page and may be modified from time to time.
Subscription Benefits and Subscription Credits. If you are a Subscriber, certain Service features may be included in your Subscription without requiring Credit redemption, and your Subscription tier may include an allocation of Subscription Credits each Billing Period. The scope of features and the number of Subscription Credits (if any) included in each Subscription tier (e.g., Plus Tier, Pro Tier) is described on the Service pricing page and may be modified from time to time. Subscription Credits are allocated at the beginning of each Billing Period and expire at the end of that Billing Period as set forth in Section 4.8(c).
Credits for Subscription Overage. If your Subscription tier includes usage limits (e.g., minutes of transcribed audio per month), you may, at Company's sole discretion, have the option to use Credits to access additional usage beyond your Subscription limits. Company will disclose whether and when such overage redemption is available on the Service.
Subscription Cancellation. Cancellation of your Subscription Service will not affect your Purchased Credit balance, which will remain available for redemption on the A La Carte Service so long as your account remains active and in good standing, subject to the expiration and forfeiture provisions in Section 4.8. Upon cancellation of your Subscription, any unused Subscription Credits will expire immediately and will not be refunded, converted to Purchased Credits, or otherwise compensated. You will not receive any new Subscription Credits after the effective date of cancellation.
4.11 California Consumer Disclosures
No Expiration for California Residents (Purchased Credits Only). If you are a California resident, your Purchased Credits will not expire solely due to the passage of time or account inactivity, in accordance with California law. Your Purchased Credits may, however, be forfeited upon termination of your account for breach of these Terms or as otherwise permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscription Credits are not “purchased” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1749.5 and are instead a component of your Subscription Service benefit; accordingly, Subscription Credits will expire at the end of each Billing Period as set forth in Section 4.8(c), regardless of your state of residence.
No Service Fees. Company will not impose any service fee, dormancy fee, inactivity fee, or other periodic charge that reduces your Purchased Credit balance solely due to the passage of time or inactivity, except as required for remittance to the State of California under unclaimed property (escheatment) laws. The monthly expiration of Subscription Credits under Section 4.8(c) is not a “service fee” or “inactivity fee” but is instead a feature of the Subscription Credit benefit structure.
Cash Redemption. If you are a California resident and your Purchased Credit balance has a cash value of less than ten dollars ($10.00), you may request that Company redeem your remaining Purchased Credits for cash. To request cash redemption, contact Company at support@songscription.ai with your account information and a statement requesting cash redemption. Company will process valid requests within a reasonable period, not to exceed thirty (30) days, and will remit payment to you by check, ACH, or another reasonable method. Subscription Credits are not eligible for cash redemption because they are not purchased and have no independent cash value.
Right of Rescission. Except as required by applicable law, there is no “cooling-off” period for Credit Purchases, and all Credit Purchases are final upon completion. California residents may, however, have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Civil Code Section 1789.3. If you are a California resident and have a complaint regarding the Service, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at +1-800-952-5210.
Disclosure of Terms. The material terms governing Credits—including purchase, redemption, expiration, forfeiture, and non-transferability—are set forth in this Section 4 and are incorporated into these Terms. Company will provide clear disclosure of Credit pricing and redemption rates on the Service at the time of purchase and redemption.

7.5 Offline Functionality
Certain features of the App may be available for offline use, including accessing previously downloaded Transcriptions, reviewing cached Performance Data, and creating new Audio Recordings. Offline functionality may be limited and may require periodic internet connectivity to sync data, upload Audio Recordings for processing, validate your subscription status, or access certain features.

If you have assigned your rights to a music publisher or a PRO, then you must obtain the consent of that music publisher or PRO to grant the royalty-free license(s) set forth in these Terms or have that music publisher or PRO enter into these Terms with Company. Just because you authored a musical work (e.g., wrote a song) does not mean you have the right to grant Company the licenses in these Terms. If you are a recording artist under contract with a record label, then you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is in compliance with any contractual obligations you have to your record label, including if you create any new recordings through the Service that may be claimed by your label. Finally, if you wish to perform a cover song and Post it to the Service, you are responsible for securing all rights in and to the underlying musical work before Posting your recording or performance of that musical work to the Service.

17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
17.1 Generally
Except as described in Section 17.2 (Exceptions) and 17.3 (Opt-Out), you and Company agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
17.2 Exceptions
Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to:
(a) bring an individual action in small claims court;
(b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available;
(c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or
(d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
17.3 Opt-Out
If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Songscription, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 550 California St, Suite 750, San Francisco, CA 94104 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Company receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 18.2 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
17.4 Arbitrator
This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc (“JAMS”) under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, by calling JAMS at +1-415-982-5267, or by contacting Company.
17.5 Commencing Arbitration
Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Company’s address for Notice is: Songscription, Inc., 550 California St, Suite 750, San Francisco, CA 94104. The Notice of Arbitration must:
(a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim;
(b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and
(c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).
The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Company will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.
17.6 Arbitration Proceedings
Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted:
(a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator;
(b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or
(c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence.
During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Company must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
17.7 Arbitration Relief
Except as provided in Section 17.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Company before an arbitrator was selected, Company will pay to you the higher of:
(a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and
(b) US $10,000.
The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except:
(1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or
(2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law.
Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
17.8 No Class Actions
YOU AND COMPANY 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 OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
17.9 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision
If Company makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Company’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Company will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
17.10 Enforceability
If Section 17.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if Company receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 17 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18.2 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
