Terms of Service
1. Overview
Deep Origin Inc ("Deep Origin," the "Company", "we," "us," or "our") requires users to read and agree to these Terms. Your use of Deep Origin's products, software, services, websites, and mobile applications—whether creating an account or not—is subject to this legal agreement, supplemental agreements, and the Privacy Policy at https://deeporigin.com/privacy.
The Terms include the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Additional Terms, forming a binding agreement. "THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALL CLAIMS AND DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY."
If Additional Terms contradict the Terms of Service, Additional Terms take precedence for that specific Service.

19. Law and Arbitration
Arbitration Agreement
"Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Terms or the Services or Privacy Policy provided by Deep Origin shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes and conducted before a single arbitrator." The arbitration place is San Francisco, California. The arbitrator is selected per AAA rules. Should AAA decline to accept non-class arbitration, parties shall jointly select another arbitrator. If parties cannot agree on a neutral arbitrator, the claimant may file suit in court solely for arbitrator appointment per the Federal Arbitration Act.
Parties must make written demand to begin arbitration. "The Terms, and your relationship with Deep Origin under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions." Awards may be entered in any California court. "The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under these Terms with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise."
Deep Origin may apply for injunctive remedies in any court to protect proprietary information or Service misuse.
Class Action Waiver
"TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION YOU MAKE AGAINST DEEP ORIGIN ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BOTH PARTIES WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT AND TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE, BUT BOTH PARTIES BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR MAY BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY."
Appeal Process
"The arbitrator's decision shall become final and binding after 30 days unless a party to the arbitration takes an appeal from the decision by making a written request to AAA. The appeal panel, which will consist of three arbitrators, will consider all factual and legal issues anew, will conduct the appeal in the same manner as the initial arbitration, and will make decisions based on the vote of the majority. The appeal panel's decision shall be final and binding."
Conflict Resolution
"In the event of a conflict between the applicable arbitration rules and the arbitration terms set forth herein at Section 19, the terms of Section 19 shall govern. To the extent that the class action and collective action waivers contained herein are rendered invalid or unenforceable by applicable law as to any Claims, the arbitration terms set forth herein at Section 19 shall not apply to such Claims and thus we may elect to proceed exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in California. If any other provision of the arbitration terms set forth herein at Section 19 should be found invalid or unenforceable, such a determination shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall remain and continue in full force and effect."
Individual Claims Only
"YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT NO CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY MAY BE CONSOLIDATED WITH A DISPUTE OF ANY OTHER PERSON IN ARBITRATION, OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS BY A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO COMMENCE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY SUCH COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING."
Attorney's Fees
"If any action or proceeding (including arbitration) is commenced to enforce or interpret any of the provisions of these Terms, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, costs of suit and expenses, in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing party may be entitled."
20. General
Section Titles
"The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect."
Complete Agreement
"The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and Deep Origin and govern your use of the Services (excluding any services which Deep Origin may provide to you under a separate written agreement), and completely replace any prior agreements between you and Deep Origin in relation to the Services."
Assignment
"The Terms are not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by you except with Deep Origin's prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction."
Notices
"You agree that Deep Origin may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings at https://www.deeporigin.com."
Waiver
"You agree that if Deep Origin does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Deep Origin has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Deep Origin's rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Deep Origin."
Severability
"If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that specific provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain enforceable in full force and effect. Should the meaning or effect of any other provisions be altered in any way by the removal or adjustment of the aforementioned provision, Deep Origin retains the right to adjust or change it accordingly."
Third-Party Beneficiaries
"You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which Deep Origin is the parent or subsidiary shall be third-party beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other than this, no other person or company shall be third-party beneficiaries to the Terms."
