10. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms of Use or the App shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by a neutral arbitrator, rather than in court, except where prohibited by law.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date and posting a notice in or with the App. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
