## 13. Notices
Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder will be in writing and given by Gitlip by posting to the Website.
## 14. No waiver
The failure of Gitlip to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.
## 15. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Gitlip’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms without such consent will be null and of no effect. Gitlip may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction.

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties.
## 16. Severability
If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
## 17. Governing law; arbitration
These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of England and Wales, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. The arbitration shall be held in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Website, Inc. ("JAMS") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall be held in the jurisdiction of your most recent physical address or, if there is no such jurisdiction, in London, England. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in English courts. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND Gitlip ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
