12. International use

    1. Additional Terms for International Users
       These guidelines apply if you normally live outside the United States. Certain features or content might not be offered in every region, or might be available only in English. If you use the Services from outside the United States, you might be subject to extra local Guidelines or supplemental terms that apply in addition to these Terms and override them if there’s any conflict.

    2. Local Law Compliance
       You agree to follow all local laws and regulations in the place where you live or where you use the Services, as far as they apply. Where parental consent is required, it must be given by a parent or someone legally authorized to do so under your local laws. Unless Mastery has signed a separate written agreement with you, it does not claim that its Services are suitable or offered in any area outside the United States. Access to the Services is not allowed in places where it’s forbidden or would cause Mastery to break local laws or privacy regulations.

    3. Data Processing Location
       Mastery provides and operates its Services in the United States. If you use them from outside the United States, you acknowledge that Mastery gathers, transmits, and processes data (including personal information) in the United States.

    4. Consumer Rights Outside the U.S.
       If you usually live outside the United States, you may have additional or different legal protections under local laws. For instance, if you reside in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Australia, certain consumer laws in those countries may give you extra benefits. In such cases, those local consumer safeguards take priority over the choice of California law mentioned in these Terms or over any conflicting section of these Terms. You might also have other rights regarding dispute resolution, including the right to file a dispute where you live or through an online platform (for example, the EU’s Online Dispute Resolution Platform). If your local law requires it, the binding arbitration portion of these Terms will not apply, and any legal action must be brought in the courts of your home jurisdiction. Additionally, certain limits on liability may not apply under consumer protection laws, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not govern this Agreement. In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to receive notice of certain actions affecting your account or to challenge certain decisions we make.

    5. Export Compliance
       You agree not to use or transfer the Services in ways that violate the laws and rules of the United States or of your local jurisdiction. Unless U.S. law allows it, the Services cannot be shared with or provided to places under comprehensive U.S. sanctions or to individuals named on U.S. restricted-party lists. By using the Services, you confirm that you are not on any such restricted list and that your use does not break U.S. export laws or restrictions.
       
       

13. Governing Law

    1. These terms are governed in accordance with the Laws of the USA, State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
       
       

14. Digital Millennium Copyright Act
    For any notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA act, please email support@getmastery.app.
    
    

15. Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver

    1. Important Notice Regarding Your Rights
       Please review this section thoroughly because it impacts your legal rights. Unless otherwise required by applicable laws or stated in relevant supplemental terms, by choosing binding arbitration you give up the right to resolve disputes in court before a judge or jury. You also relinquish any right to participate in class or representative actions. To the greatest extent allowed by law, if a dispute is not brought within one year, it is permanently barred.

    2. General Framework
       To streamline and manage the expense of any disagreements, you and Mastery agree that any legal or equitable claims, controversies, or proceedings related to your use of the services or to these terms (“Dispute”) will be handled as outlined below, to the full extent permitted by law.

    3. Notice of a Dispute
       If a Dispute arises, either you or Mastery must send the other a written notice that identifies the name, address, and contact details of the person giving notice, summarizes the facts causing the Dispute, and proposes a resolution (“Notice of Dispute”). Send your Notice of Dispute by email to support@getmastery.app. Mastery will mail its Notice of Dispute to your email address. Both parties will endeavor in good faith to settle any Dispute through informal negotiations within ninety (90) days of sending the Notice of Dispute. After ninety (90) days, either party may start arbitration.

    4. Arbitration is Binding
       If a Dispute remains unresolved after the ninety (90) day negotiation period (or any other period agreed upon by you and Mastery), it will be resolved through binding arbitration as outlined here. The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs this process. By agreeing, you waive any right to participate in a court proceeding (either individually or as part of a class). All Disputes—except those specifically excluded below—will go before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision is final except for limited rights of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitration will take place in San Francisco County, California, and any court with proper authority may enforce the arbitrator’s ruling.

    5. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings
       All proceedings to address any Dispute will be held exclusively on an individual basis. Neither you nor Mastery will attempt to have a Dispute heard as part of a class action or in any other representative context. You may only bring a Dispute on your own behalf and cannot pursue relief that affects other users. If a final court decision finds that any specific Dispute cannot be arbitrated according to these restrictions, only that particular Dispute may proceed in court. All other Disputes remain subject to these arbitration terms.

    6. Arbitration Procedures
       A written demand for arbitration must be personally signed by the party requesting arbitration (and their lawyer, if represented). By signing, the party (and any attorney involved) confirms they have followed (1) the mandatory Notice of Dispute process and (2) the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). The arbitrator can award any relief or impose sanctions available under Rule 11 or applicable federal or state laws, just as a court could. Arbitrations will be administered by JAMS using its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (and, where applicable, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures). You may request a telephone or in-person hearing under the JAMS Rules. If the amount in dispute is $10,000 or less, any hearing will be held by phone unless the arbitrator finds a compelling reason to hold it in person. If JAMS is unavailable, both parties will choose another mutually acceptable dispute resolution provider that applies the JAMS rules. The arbitrator may grant the same damages to you individually as a court would. The arbitrator may award you declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to meet your own claim. The arbitrator may consider but is not bound by outcomes in other arbitrations where both you and Mastery were not parties.

    7. Arbitrator’s Authority
       The arbitrator may decide most issues, but a court has authority to:
       – Determine whether a particular matter is arbitrable, as well as questions regarding the formation, existence, scope, validity, and enforceability of these arbitration terms.
       – Decide whether the parties have followed the required Notice of Dispute steps.
       – Enforce the ban on class or representative proceedings.
       – Prevent an arbitration from moving forward if it does not align with these arbitration terms.
       – Grant injunctive or other equitable remedies to protect or enforce either party’s intellectual property rights.

    8. Fees and Costs
       The party that initiates the arbitration covers the initial filing fee. If Mastery starts the arbitration, it pays. If you begin arbitration, you pay unless the applicable rules grant you a fee waiver. Each party is responsible for its own lawyers, experts, witnesses, and other expenses, regardless of who prevails, though the arbitrator may shift these costs if the law allows.

    9. Time Limit to File
       Subject to applicable law, any Dispute must be filed in an arbitration proceeding within one (1) year of when the facts giving rise to the Dispute first occurred. This one-year window is paused during the 90-day Notice of Dispute period. If not filed within that time, the Dispute is permanently barred.

    10. Court Venue if Arbitration Is Unavailable
        If a Dispute cannot be resolved through binding arbitration as described here, you agree that any such Dispute will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California. You and Mastery each consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of these courts for the purpose of litigating any unresolved matters. Mastery maintains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the protection or enforcement of its intellectual property in any court with proper authority.
        
        

16. Other

    1. The Terms, Privacy Policy, and Guidelines together make up the complete agreement between you and Mastery regarding the subject matter covered.

    2. This agreement cannot be altered except through a written document signed by both parties, through any applicable supplemental terms, or through any revisions to the Terms, Privacy Policy, or Guidelines that Mastery introduces under its modification process.

    3. No delay or omission by us in exercising any of our rights under these Terms, even if you fail to comply or default, will reduce or waive those rights. A waiver by Mastery of any requirement, condition, or agreement you must fulfill does not waive any later breach or any other requirement.

    4. Subject to Section 13, if any part of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the rest of these Terms will remain in effect, and the invalid or unenforceable part will be adjusted to reflect the parties’ intent to the fullest extent allowed by law.

    5. Unless otherwise stated, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Mastery about the subject matter, replacing all previous agreements or representations, whether written or oral.

    6. We may transfer or assign our rights and responsibilities under these Terms to another person in any manner, including by novation. By accepting these Terms, you consent to this transfer. You agree that posting a version of these Terms showing another person as a party will serve as valid notice of Mastery’s transfer of rights and obligations, unless otherwise specifically stated.

    7. All information communicated on the Services is considered an electronic communication. When you communicate with us electronically (through the Services or by email), you agree to receive electronic communications from us. You acknowledge that these communications, including notices, disclosures, and agreements, hold the same legal weight as if they were in writing. By clicking buttons like “SUBMIT,” “CONTINUE,” “REGISTER,” or “I AGREE,” you provide a legally binding electronic signature and accept these Terms. You also agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders, records, and notifications for transactions conducted or completed through the Service.

    8. Mastery will not be liable for any failure to meet these Terms if it results from factors beyond Mastery’s reasonable control.
