PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

12.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, you may also benefit from any mandatory provisions of the consumer protection laws in your country of residence.

12.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you and the Company agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform ("Dispute") informally.

Process:

The party raising the Dispute must send a written notice to the other party describing the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought ("Dispute Notice")
You may send a Dispute Notice to us at: legal@boba.town or 1312 17th Street Unit #2635, Denver, CO 80202
We will send any Dispute Notice to the email address associated with your Account
The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute for at least sixty (60) days from the date the Dispute Notice is received

Effect:

No arbitration or court proceeding may be initiated until the informal resolution period has elapsed
The informal resolution period may be extended by mutual written agreement
If the Dispute is not resolved within the informal resolution period, either party may proceed with formal dispute resolution as described below

12.3 Arbitration Agreement

Agreement to Arbitrate: If the informal resolution process does not resolve the Dispute, you and the Company agree that any Dispute shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that:

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the Dispute qualifies
Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights

Arbitration Rules and Procedures:

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the applicable rules
The arbitration shall take place in Denver, Colorado or, at your election, may be conducted remotely (by telephone or videoconference) or based on written submissions
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all issues, including arbitrability
The arbitrator may award any relief that would be available in court, including injunctive or declaratory relief, but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim

Arbitration Fees:

For Disputes involving less than $10,000, the Company will pay all arbitration fees, unless the arbitrator finds that the claims are frivolous
For Disputes involving $10,000 or more, arbitration fees shall be allocated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules
Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, unless the arbitrator awards fees and costs to the prevailing party

12.4 Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

You and the Company agree to waive the right to:

Participate in a class action, collective action, or other representative proceeding
Have any Dispute decided by a jury in a class or representative proceeding
Consolidate or join claims with claims of other persons

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief shall be severed and proceeded with in court, while the remaining claims shall be arbitrated.

12.5 Small Claims Exception

Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for Disputes within the jurisdiction of such court. If the Dispute is removed from or appealed from small claims court, it shall be subject to arbitration under this Section 12.

12.6 Jurisdiction and Venue

For any Disputes that are not subject to arbitration (including actions to enforce an arbitration award), you and the Company agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado, United States, and you agree to waive any objections based on improper venue or inconvenient forum.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

12.7 Time Limitation on Claims

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE, OR IT SHALL BE FOREVER BARRED.

This limitation does not apply to claims that cannot be limited by contract under applicable law.

12.8 Opt-Out of Arbitration

You have the right to opt out of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in this Section 12. If you opt out, you and the Company will retain the right to litigate any Dispute in court (subject to the governing law and jurisdiction provisions above).

To opt out:

You must send a written notice to legal@boba.town within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms
Your notice must include your name, address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration
If you opt out, all other provisions of these Terms will continue to apply

12.9 Changes to This Section

We will provide at least sixty (60) days' notice of any material changes to this Section 12. Changes will become effective on the date specified in the notice. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may reject the changes by sending written notice to legal@boba.town within sixty (60) days. If you reject the changes, you will be bound by the arbitration provisions that were in effect immediately prior to the changes.

12.10 Jurisdictional Enforceability

The arbitration agreement, class action waiver, and certain other provisions of this Section 12 may not be enforceable in all jurisdictions. If you reside in a jurisdiction where any of the following provisions are unenforceable under mandatory local law, those provisions do not apply to you:

Jurisdiction	What Does Not Apply	What Applies Instead
European Union / EEA	Mandatory arbitration (Section 12.3), class action waiver (Section 12.4), time limitation shorter than statutory limits (Section 12.7)	You may bring claims in the courts of your country of residence under EU consumer protection law. You retain the right to participate in collective redress actions where available under national law. Statutory limitation periods apply.
United Kingdom	Mandatory arbitration (Section 12.3), class action waiver (Section 12.4)	You may bring claims in the courts of England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland (as applicable). You retain the right to participate in representative actions. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies.
Brazil	Mandatory arbitration (Section 12.3), class action waiver (Section 12.4)	Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the consumer's domicile under the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code. You retain the right to participate in collective actions.
Quebec, Canada	Mandatory arbitration (Section 12.3), class action waiver (Section 12.4)	The Quebec Consumer Protection Act prohibits mandatory arbitration clauses and class action waivers in consumer contracts.
Other jurisdictions	Any provision prohibited by mandatory local consumer protection law	The applicable local law governs. See the relevant regional supplement in Part 3 for details.

General Principle:

Nothing in this Section 12 is intended to limit your rights under mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction. Where mandatory local law provides rights that cannot be waived by contract, those rights prevail over any conflicting provision of this Section. If any provision of this Section is found to be unenforceable in your jurisdiction, that provision is severed and the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

If you are unsure whether these provisions apply in your jurisdiction, we encourage you to review the applicable regional supplement or seek independent legal advice.

16. Community Guidelines Reference

Our Community Guidelines are a critical part of maintaining a safe, respectful, and enjoyable Platform for all Users. The full Community Guidelines are available at https://boba.town/community-guidelines and are incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference.

16.1 Incorporation and Hierarchy

The Community Guidelines form part of these Terms of Service. Violations of the Community Guidelines are violations of these Terms. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to comply with the Community Guidelines.

If there is a conflict between the Community Guidelines and these Terms, these Terms control. Feature-specific addendums may contain additional rules that supplement the Community Guidelines, and regional supplements may modify how Community Guidelines are applied in certain jurisdictions.

16.2 Guideline Categories

The Community Guidelines address the following areas (this summary is for convenience only; the full Guidelines govern): safety (violence, harassment, hate speech, self-harm, dangerous activities, child safety); authenticity (misinformation, impersonation, spam, coordinated inauthentic behavior, manipulated media); integrity (intellectual property, privacy, fraud, platform manipulation); content standards (nudity, graphic violence, illegal activities, regulated goods, sensitive content); and respectful behavior (civility, context, cultural sensitivity, accessibility).

16.3 Enforcement

We use a graduated enforcement system described in the Community Guidelines. Enforcement actions range from educational measures (content labels, informational notices) through content-level actions (removal, age restriction) and feature-level restrictions (temporary limits on specific features) to account-level actions (suspension, termination). The severity of the action depends on factors including the nature of the violation, intent, history, and potential for harm.

16.4 Appeals

You may appeal most enforcement actions. The Community Guidelines describe the full appeals process, including how to submit an appeal, what to include, review procedures, and possible outcomes. Appeals are reviewed by a different team member than the one who made the original decision.

16.5 Updates to Community Guidelines

We may update the Community Guidelines at any time to address emerging issues, clarify policies, or improve safety. The Community Guidelines may be updated more frequently than these Terms. Material changes will be announced through Platform notifications, email, or our blog. Your continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. We encourage you to review the Community Guidelines periodically.
