Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

Dispute Resolution Process

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of IntegratingPulse, the user agrees to engage in a formal resolution process before seeking legal action. This process begins with an informal discussion aimed at resolving the issue amicably. Users are encouraged to reach out to our support team via email at info@integratingpulse.com to initiate this discussion. If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal means within a specified timeframe, the parties agree to proceed with mediation. Mediation is a cooperative effort, conducted with the assistance of a neutral third-party, to facilitate a mutually agreeable resolution. If mediation fails, the user can then proceed to binding arbitration, where the resolution will be determined privately using the rules of an appropriate arbitration organization.

Users must ensure compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations as they relate to the use of our website, and failure to do so may result in legal action.

Severability Clause

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. This ensures that the essential terms remain intact, safeguarding the overall intent and purpose of the agreement between IntegratingPulse and its users.

Changes to Dispute Procedures

IntegratingPulse reserves the right to modify its dispute resolution procedures at any time. Any changes to these procedures will be effective upon updating this section of the Terms of Use. It is important for users to periodically check for any updates or changes to ensure they are aware of their rights and obligations.
