10. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction selected by the operator of WonkTax at the time a dispute arises, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, SHALL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION AT A LOCATION SELECTED BY THE OPERATOR OF WONKTAX AT THE TIME A DISPUTE ARISES.

JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE SERVICE WOULD CAUSE IRREPARABLE HARM AND THAT, IN SUCH CASE, THE INDIVIDUAL OPERATOR OF WONKTAX SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHOUT THE REQUIREMENT TO POST A BOND.

THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT PRECLUDE PARTIES FROM SEEKING PROVISIONAL REMEDIES IN AID OF ARBITRATION FROM A COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
