The Service may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Slate regarding the use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Slate relating to your use of the Service.
The failure of Slate to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Slate.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Slate without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms.
The headings used in these Terms are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.
Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by Slate: (i) via email (in each case to the address that you provide); or (ii) by posting to the Service. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
Slate shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you and Slate.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.
Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service ("Disputes") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect.
Arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware or another mutually agreeable location, in English. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms are unenforceable, void, or voidable.
YOU AND SLATE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Slate agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
You have the right to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following email address: legal@slatechat.com. Your notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Service or the effective date of the first set of Terms containing an arbitration provision, whichever is later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Slate also will not be bound by them.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Additionally, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
If any portion of this Section 17 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 17 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 17; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
