This section governs any dispute between You and SHH, and how that dispute will be legally resolved, if necessary. Remember, these dispute resolution provisions only apply to disputes between SHH and YOU, and not to disputes between You and any other Member.
(a) Governing Law and Venue. The Website, Services, and this Agreement, including without limitation this Agreement’s interpretation, shall be treated as though this Agreement were executed and performed in Brazil and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Brazil without regard to its conflict of law principles. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE INSTITUTED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER WAIVED AND BARRED.

(b) Requirement of Arbitration. If you and SHH cannot resolve a dispute or other claim through negotiations, You agree that any dispute, of any nature whatsoever, between You and SHH arising out of or relating to the Website, Services, or this Agreement, shall be decided by neutral, binding arbitration before a representative of JAMS in Brazil unless You and SHH mutually agree to a different arbitrator, who shall render an award in accordance with the substantive laws of Brazil and JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. A final judgment or award by the arbitrator may then be duly entered and recorded by the prevailing party in the appropriate court as final judgment. The arbitrator shall award costs (including, without limitation, the JAMS’ fee and reasonable attorney’s fees) to the prevailing party. You acknowledge that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial.
(c) No Class Actions Allowed. You and SHH agree that any arbitration or other legal action shall be limited to the two of us as parties, and any joinder of other parties is not allowed. This means that You cannot participate in any sort of representative proceeding against SHH, including as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action.
(d) Remedies in Aid of Arbitration; Equitable Relief. This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or SHH from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration, or confirm an arbitral award, from a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or SHH from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. The proper venue for any action permitted under this subsection regarding “equitable relief” will be the federal and state courts located in Brazil; the parties hereby waive any objection to the venue and personal jurisdiction of such courts.
(a) By SHH. SHH may, in its sole discretion, terminate your Account, delete your profile, delete your Content, and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Services at any time and without prior notice.
(b) Automatic Termination Upon Breach By You. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that You breach any of this Agreement’s representations, warranties, or covenants. Such termination shall be automatic and shall not require any further notice or action by SHH.
(c) By You. You may terminate this Agreement and Your rights hereunder at any time, for any or no reason at all, by providing to SHH notice of Your intention to do so, in the manner required by this Agreement.
(d) Effect of Termination.

Upon termination, SHH may, but has no obligation to, in SHH’s sole discretion, delete from SHH’s systems all Your Content, Your personal information and any other files or information that You made available to SHH or that otherwise relate to Your use of the Website or Services. Subsequent to termination, SHH reserves the right to exercise whatever means it deems necessary to prevent Your unauthorized use of the Website and Services, including without limitation technological barriers such as IP mapping and direct contact with Your Internet Service Provider.
(e) Survival. Upon termination, all rights and obligations created by this Agreement will terminate, except that Sections 7-12 and 18-24 will survive any termination of this Agreement. For clarification, termination of this Agreement will not relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees owed SHH.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between SHH and You concerning Your use of the Website and Services.
(b) Partial Invalidity. Should any part of this Agreement be declared invalid, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties acknowledge and agree that they would have executed the remaining portion without including the part so declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable.
(c) No Waiver. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement, or any breach, in any one instance, will not waive that term or condition or any later breach.
(d) Assignment. This Agreement and all of your rights and obligations under it will not be assignable or transferable by you without the prior written consent of SHH. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
(e) Independent Contractors. You and SHH are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
(f) Third Party Beneficiaries. Except where expressly stated herein, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
