GENZA TERMS OF USE

Version: 1.0

Effective Date: March 31, 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms” or this “Agreement”) form a legally binding agreement between Genza Inc., a Delaware corporation, with a mailing address at 1201 N. Orange Street, Suite 7587, Wilmington, DE 19801-1186, United States (“GENZA”, “we”, “us” or “our”), on the one hand, and you, on the other hand, regarding your access to and use of the GENZA Services.

For purposes of these Terms, “you”, “your” or the “User” mean the individual who accesses or uses the Services and enters into this Agreement with GENZA.

By creating an account, accessing or using the GENZA website (including genza.io), any GENZA mobile application, the GENZA Telegram Mini App, or any related features (collectively, the “Services”), you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be bound by them and by the policies and notices incorporated into them. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services.

If you access the Services through Telegram, Apple, Google, or another third-party platform, your use of that platform is also governed by the platform’s own terms, privacy policy, billing rules, and developer-program requirements. Those third-party platforms are not parties to this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Services are intended only for adults who are legally permitted to use them. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to use the Services. We do not permit any use of the Services by persons under 18.

We may update these Terms from time to time as permitted by applicable law. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by reasonable means (such as in-app notice, email, or website notice) before the changes take effect. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services and delete your Account before the effective date of the changes.

(c) deny, suspend or terminate Accounts based in whole or in part on such checks or information.

7.3. Reporting and Blocking.

7.3.1. The Services include tools that allow you to report User profiles, messages, content and behavior that you believe may violate these Terms, the Community Guidelines or the law. We encourage you to use these tools, especially in connection with High-Risk Categories or any situation where you feel unsafe, harassed or threatened.

7.3.2. You may also block other Users so that they cannot contact you through the Services or see certain aspects of your profile. Blocking does not necessarily prevent a User from seeing your profile in all contexts (for example, if they are in the same area or if technical limitations apply), but it is intended to limit direct contact.

7.3.3. When you submit a report, you agree that:

(a) your report should be truthful and made in good faith;

(b) GENZA may review your report, User Content and related information to assess the situation;

(c) GENZA may, where appropriate, take actions such as removing content, issuing warnings, limiting features, suspending or terminating Accounts, or reporting information to law enforcement or other authorities, particularly in cases involving High-Risk Categories;

(d) GENZA may not be able to inform you of the specific actions taken in response to your report, due to privacy, legal or safety considerations.

7.3.4. While GENZA may review reports and take action at its discretion, nothing in these Terms obligates GENZA to:

(a) respond to or act on every report;

(b) resolve disputes between Users; or

(c) prevent a User from engaging in conduct that may be harmful, unlawful or contrary to these Terms.

To the extent permitted by law, GENZA is not responsible for the behavior, actions or omissions of Users, whether or not a report has been made.

7.4. Third-Party Safety Resources.

7.4.1. The Services may provide links, references or contact details for third-party safety resources, such as hotlines, support organizations, counseling services or informational websites. These resources are operated by third parties and are not controlled by GENZA.

7.4.2. GENZA does not endorse, warrant or guarantee the services, information or availability of any third-party safety resource. Any interaction with such resources is solely between you and the third party.

7.4.3. GENZA is not responsible for any acts or omissions of third-party safety resources, nor for any decisions you make based on their information or advice.

7.5. Assumption of Risk and Release.

7.5.1. You understand and voluntarily assume all risks associated with your use of the Services and your interactions with other Users, whether online or offline, including, without limitation, the risk of bodily injury, emotional distress, property damage, financial loss, identity theft, fraud or other harm.

7.5.2. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release, discharge and hold harmless the GENZA Parties (as defined in Section 13.1.1) from any and all claims, demands, damages (actual and consequential), losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with:

(a) any dispute or interaction between you and one or more other Users of the Services, whether conducted through the Services or offline;

(b) any act or omission of any User or other third party encountered through or in connection with the Services;

(c) any in-person meeting or offline interaction arising from or facilitated by the Services.

7.5.3. If you are a resident of California, you expressly waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” You waive any similar provision under the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction.

7.5.4. Nothing in this Section 7.5 is intended to release GENZA from liability that cannot be released by contract under applicable law, including liability for GENZA’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

8. PAID SERVICES, SUBSCRIPTIONS AND VIRTUAL ITEMS

8.1. In-App Purchases and Payment Methods.

8.1.1. GENZA may offer paid features, subscriptions, bundles, referral-related promotional benefits, virtual currencies or items, and other entitlements (for example, premium plans, boosts, passes, coins, crystals, accessories, profile or interaction enhancements, or similar features) that you can purchase, receive, or use within the App, Mini App, website, or other parts of the Services (“Paid Services”).

8.1.2. When you purchase or obtain Paid Services through the App, Mini App, website, or another part of the Services, the transaction may be processed by the relevant App Store Provider, Telegram payment infrastructure (including Telegram Stars, if enabled), or another third-party payment processor identified at checkout. Such transactions are subject to that provider’s own terms, billing rules, exchange rates, refund practices, and technical limitations. GENZA does not control and is not responsible for those third-party billing or platform terms.

8.1.3. You must provide a valid payment method, wallet, platform balance, or other accepted source of value where required, and you authorize the applicable App Store Provider, Telegram payment infrastructure, payment processor, or GENZA (where applicable) to charge or deduct all amounts associated with your purchase, including any taxes, fees, network fees or similar charges, in accordance with the disclosed terms at the time of purchase.

8.1.4. By confirming a purchase, you:

(a) acknowledge that you may gain immediate access to the Paid Services and, where permitted by law, lose any statutory right of withdrawal once delivery begins; and

(b) authorize the applicable App Store Provider, Telegram payment infrastructure, payment processor or GENZA (as applicable) to charge or deduct the relevant amount.

8.2. Virtual Items.

8.2.1. Certain Paid Services and certain promotional or gameplay features may consist of virtual items, currencies, rewards or access rights that exist only within the Services (for example, passes, boosts, coins, crystals, accessories, profile enhancements, referral rewards or similar virtual benefits) (“Virtual Items”).

8.2.2. You acknowledge and agree that:

(a) Virtual Items have no cash or monetary value, are not bank deposits, stored value, electronic money, securities, or property, and cannot be redeemed for real money, currency, cryptocurrency or any other item of monetary value, except where required by law or expressly stated in separate written terms;

(b) unless we expressly state otherwise in separate Additional Terms for a specific feature, Virtual Items are personal to your Account and are non-transferable, non-withdrawable, and may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, licensed, or used outside the Services;

(c) you do not own Virtual Items; instead, you receive a limited, revocable license to use them within the Services in accordance with these Terms;

(d) GENZA may issue, change, limit, modify, suspend, discontinue, withhold, reverse or remove Virtual Items or how they operate at any time, for example, in connection with product changes, fraud prevention, chargebacks, platform decisions, technical reasons or legal compliance.

8.2.3. Unless required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise at the time of purchase:

(a) purchases of Virtual Items are final and non-refundable;

(b) if your Account is suspended or terminated in accordance with these Terms, you may lose some or all Virtual Items associated with your Account, without any right to compensation.

8.3. Auto-Renewing Subscriptions.

8.3.1. Some Paid Services may be offered as automatically renewing subscriptions (for example, monthly or weekly premium plans) (“Subscriptions”). The specific terms (price, duration, included features) will be disclosed to you at the time of purchase.

8.3.2. If you purchase a Subscription:

(a) it will continue for the initial subscription period disclosed to you (for example, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months);

(b) at the end of each subscription period, it will automatically renew for the same period at the then-current renewal price, unless you cancel it in accordance with this Section 8.3;

(c) you authorize recurring charges to your payment method for each renewal period, in accordance with the applicable App Store Provider or GENZA billing rules.

8.3.3. You can manage or cancel your Subscription at any time through your App Store Provider account settings (for example, in Apple ID settings or Google Play Subscriptions). Uninstalling the App or deleting your Account does not automatically cancel your Subscription. If you want to stop future charges, you must cancel the Subscription through the App Store Provider before the renewal date.

8.3.4. If you cancel a Subscription, you will typically continue to have access to the subscribed features until the end of the then-current billing period, and the Subscription will not renew after that period, unless otherwise stated by the App Store Provider or required by law.

8.4. Pricing, Taxes and Changes.

8.4.1. Prices for Paid Services, including Subscriptions and Virtual Items, will be displayed to you in the App or at the point of purchase. Prices are subject to change at any time, except as prohibited by applicable law.

8.4.2. Applicable taxes (such as VAT, sales tax or similar) may be charged in addition to the displayed price, depending on your location and applicable law. The App Store Provider or GENZA (as applicable) will show taxes where required by law at the time of purchase.

8.4.3. We may change the pricing of Paid Services, including Subscription renewal prices. If we increase the price of a Subscription, we will provide notice in accordance with applicable law and give you an opportunity to cancel before the new price applies. If you do not cancel and continue to use the Subscription after the price change takes effect, you agree to the new price.

8.5. Refunds.

8.5.1. General rule.

(a) As a general rule, all purchases of Paid Services (including Subscriptions and Virtual Items) are final and non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for partially used periods or unused Virtual Items, except where a refund is required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise at the time of purchase.

(b) Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any statutory rights to a refund, withdrawal or cancellation that you may have under the laws of your jurisdiction. Where such rights exist and apply to you, we will honor them in accordance with applicable law.

8.5.2. Subscribers in the EU, EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland.

(a) If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from certain digital subscription contracts within a limited period (for example, 14 days from the start of the subscription), subject to the conditions set out in your local law.

(b) To the extent required by applicable law, we will provide you with information about your right of withdrawal at or before the time of purchase. In some cases, if you request or agree that the Subscription starts immediately and acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once full performance begins, you may no longer be entitled to a refund after access to the Subscription has started.

(c) If you purchased a Subscription through an App Store Provider, any exercise of statutory withdrawal rights and any refunds will generally be handled by that provider in accordance with its processes and applicable law (see Section 8.5.5).

8.5.3. Subscribers and purchasers of Virtual Items in the Republic of Korea.

If you are a consumer residing in the Republic of Korea, you may have statutory rights to:

(a) receive a full refund for a Subscription and/or unused Virtual Items within a limited period (for example, seven (7) days from the date of purchase), and/or

(b) receive a proportional refund for unused portions of certain Paid Services,

in each case to the extent and on the conditions required by applicable Korean law. Any such refunds will be processed in accordance with that law and, where applicable, the rules of the relevant App Store Provider.

8.5.4. Subscribers in certain U.S. states.

If you are a subscriber residing in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island or Wisconsin, and the Services qualify as a “dating service” or similar regulated service under the laws of your jurisdiction, the following may apply to you to the extent required by applicable law:

(a) Right to cancel shortly after purchase.

You may have a right to cancel your Subscription without penalty or further obligation by sending a cancellation notice within a limited period (for example, until midnight of the third business day after the date you entered into the Subscription contract), in accordance with the laws of your jurisdiction.

(b) Death of the subscriber.

If you pass away before the end of the Subscription term, your estate, heirs or legal representative may be entitled to a refund of the portion of the Subscription price paid that relates to the period after your death, in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Disability of the subscriber.

If you become unable to use the Services due to disability before the end of the Subscription term, you may be entitled to a refund of the portion of the Subscription price paid that relates to the period after your disability, provided that you notify GENZA (or the relevant App Store Provider, where applicable) in accordance with the applicable law and these Terms.

(d) How to cancel under this subsection.

To exercise any right of cancellation described in this subsection (including in connection with death or disability), you must send a clear notice stating that you wish to cancel your Subscription (or request a refund) and including sufficient information to identify your Account and the relevant purchase (for example, order number and the email address or phone number registered with your Account).

You may send such notice:

The specific content, form and timing of your notice, and the amount of any refund, will be determined in accordance with the laws that apply in your jurisdiction.

8.5.5. Purchases made through App Store Providers, Telegram or other third-party payment channels.

(a) If you purchased Paid Services using your account with an App Store Provider, Telegram payment infrastructure, or another external platform or processor, that provider generally processes billing and refunds, and any requests for refunds or cancellations should usually be directed to that provider, not to GENZA.

(b) You can typically review your purchase history and request a refund or report an issue via the relevant platform’s account settings or support channels (for example, through Apple, Google Play, Telegram, or another provider’s support process). The availability and conditions of refunds are determined by that provider’s policies and applicable law. GENZA does not control and cannot override a third-party provider’s decision regarding refunds.

8.5.6. Purchases made directly from GENZA.

(a) If we offer the ability to purchase Paid Services directly from GENZA (without using an App Store Provider or another third-party platform), refund requests relating to those purchases should be sent to us using the contact details in Section 17.8, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase.

(b) Your request should include at least:

(c) We will review and process your request in accordance with these Terms and applicable law. Where a refund is due, it will be made using the original payment method where reasonably possible, unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

13.2. Cap on Direct Damages.

13.2.1. In addition to the exclusions above, the total aggregate liability of the GENZA Parties to you for all claims, losses and causes of action arising out of or in connection with:

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the GENZA Parties from and against any and all complaints, claims, demands, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of enforcement) that are caused by, arise out of, or are in any way related to:

(a) your access to or use of the Services, including any use in violation of these Terms, the Community Guidelines or applicable law;

(b) your User Content, including any allegation that your User Content infringes, misappropriates or violates any intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights of any person or entity;

14.3. Limitations on Indemnity.

Your indemnity obligations under this Section 14 apply only to the extent that the relevant complaints, claims, losses or damages are not directly caused by:

(a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a GENZA Party; or

(b) a material breach by GENZA of these Terms or applicable law.

14.4. Defense and Control of Claims.

14.4.1. We may, at our option and to the extent permitted by law, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you under this Section 14. In that case:

(c) does not include a full and unconditional release of all GENZA Parties from all liability related to the claim.

The indemnity obligations in this Section 14 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies that the GENZA Parties may have under these Terms, at law or in equity.

14.6. Jurisdiction-Specific Limitations.

14.6.1. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain types of indemnification obligations (for example, where they are considered unfair or disproportionate). In those jurisdictions, the indemnity in this Section 14 will apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law, and some or all of its provisions may not apply to you.

14.6.2. Nothing in this Section 14 is intended to exclude, limit or modify any protection you have under mandatory consumer protection laws that cannot be waived by contract.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Section 15 explains how you and GENZA agree to resolve any Dispute (as defined below). If the law in your jurisdiction prohibits any part of this Section 15, that part will not apply to you, and the rest will remain in force.

15.1. Informal Dispute Resolution Process (Mandatory Before Arbitration or Small Claims Court).

15.1.1. Definition of “Dispute”.

For purposes of this Section 15, “Dispute” means any dispute, claim or controversy between you and GENZA, arising out of or relating in any way to:

(a) these Terms (including any alleged breach);

(b) the Services; or

(c) your relationship or interactions with GENZA,

whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation or any other legal or equitable theory, and whether the Dispute arose before, during or after the term of this Agreement.

15.1.2. Mandatory informal process.

If you have a Dispute with GENZA (“Your Dispute”), you agree that, before starting arbitration or a small claims court case, you will first give GENZA an opportunity to resolve Your Dispute informally. Similarly, if GENZA has a Dispute with you (“GENZA Dispute”), GENZA will first seek to resolve it informally before starting arbitration or a small claims court case.

15.1.3. Your Notice.

To start the informal process for Your Dispute, you must send a written notice (“Notice”) to GENZA at:

Genza Inc.

Attn: Legal – Dispute Notice

1201 N. Orange Street, Suite 7587

Wilmington, DE 19801-1186, USA

and by email to: support@genza.io

Your Notice must include all of the following:

(a) your full name;

(b) information sufficient to identify your Account, including at least the email address and/or phone number associated with your Account, and, if available, a screenshot or description of your profile;

(c) your current mailing address;

(d) a detailed description of Your Dispute, including the facts giving rise to it;

(e) the specific relief you are seeking and a reasonable calculation of any claimed damages;

(f) your personal signature (electronic or physical).

15.1.4. GENZA’s Notice.

If GENZA has a Dispute with you, GENZA will send its Notice to your last known email address and/or mailing address associated with your Account, and will include:

(a) a description of the GENZA Dispute;

(b) the relief sought and a reasonable calculation of any claimed damages.

15.1.5. Good-faith negotiations and conference.

After a complete Notice is received by the other party, you and GENZA agree to negotiate in good faith to try to resolve the Dispute. As part of this process, either party may request a phone or video conference to discuss the Dispute;

(a) if GENZA requests such a conference, you agree to participate personally (and with your attorney, if you are represented);

(b) if you request such a conference, GENZA will make a reasonable effort for an appropriate representative to participate.

15.1.6. Time period; condition precedent; tolling.

(a) This informal process will last for sixty (60) days from the date a complete Notice is received, unless you and GENZA agree in writing to extend the period.

(b) Completing this informal process is a condition precedent to starting arbitration or a small claims court case (except for individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment related to use of the Services, as described in Section 15.3.2(b)).

(c) Any applicable statutes of limitation and filing deadlines for fees will be tolled (paused) during this informal process.

15.1.7. Effect on arbitration provider.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any arbitration provider should not accept or administer an arbitration demand unless the party filing the demand certifies in writing that the informal process in this Section 15.1 has been completed. A court of competent jurisdiction may enforce this requirement and may stay (pause) or dismiss any arbitration or small claims proceeding initiated without compliance with this Section 15.1.

15.1.8. Confidentiality of settlement communications.

All offers, promises, discussions and statements made in the course of the informal dispute resolution process are confidential and made for purposes of settlement, and may not be used in any later proceeding (other than to show that a party complied with or failed to comply with this Section 15.1), to the extent permitted by applicable law.

15.2. Individual Relief; Waiver of Jury Trial and Class/Representative Actions.

15.2.1. Waiver of jury trial.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and GENZA waive any right to a trial by jury in any court proceeding for any Dispute between you and GENZA.

15.2.2. Individual-only relief; class/representative waiver.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and GENZA agree that:

(a) any arbitration or court proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis;

(b) you will not seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action, class arbitration, collective action, private attorney general action, or in any other representative capacity;

(c) no arbitration or proceeding may be consolidated with another, unless all parties to all affected proceedings agree in writing.

15.2.3. Limit on arbitrator’s authority.

The arbitrator may award the same remedies available in court, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief to the individual party bringing the claim. The arbitrator may not:

(a) combine or consolidate claims of more than one person;

(b) preside over any form of class, collective or representative proceeding;

(c) issue any order or award that applies to or benefits anyone other than the individual parties to the arbitration.

15.2.4. Consequences of unenforceability.

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the waiver in Section 15.2.2 as to a particular claim or request for relief cannot be enforced in full (for example, as to a specific request for public injunctive relief), then, to that extent only:

(a) that particular claim or request for relief may proceed in court (and not in arbitration); and

(b) all other claims and requests for relief remain subject to arbitration under this Section 15.

15.3. Arbitration or Small Claims Court.

15.3.1. General agreement to arbitrate.

Except as provided in Sections 15.3.2 and 15.3.3, after completion of the informal dispute resolution process in Section 15.1, any Dispute between you and GENZA shall be resolved by binding, individual arbitration instead of in court. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and is intended to be interpreted broadly.

15.3.2. Exceptions – small claims court and sexual assault/harassment claims.

Notwithstanding Section 15.3.1:

(a) Small claims court. Either you or GENZA may bring an individual claim in a court of small claims (or similar) with jurisdiction, instead of arbitration, so long as the matter remains in that court and proceeds only on an individual basis.

(b) Claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment. Individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from your use of the Services may be brought in court, not in arbitration, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You do not need to complete the informal process in Section 15.1 before bringing such claims in court.

15.3.3. Claims for injunctive relief for intellectual property.

Either party may bring an individual action in court, rather than arbitration, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect that party’s intellectual property rights (for example, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or patents).

15.3.4. Issues decided by arbitrator.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15, the arbitrator, and not any court, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve all disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Section 15 is void or voidable, and any disputes about arbitrability.

15.3.5. Forum for court proceedings permitted by this Section.

Any court proceeding permitted under this Section 15 (for example, small claims, sexual assault/harassment claims, or IP injunctive relief, or enforcement of an arbitration award) shall be brought only in the courts specified in Section 16.2, subject to applicable law.

15.4. Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

15.4.1. Arbitration administrator and rules.

Unless you and GENZA agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, if the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer, the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures), as modified by this Section 15. If that provider is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, you and GENZA will agree on a substitute provider; if you cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint a provider, and this Section 15 will apply to the extent consistent with that provider’s rules.

15.4.2. Seat, language and location.

(a) The seat (legal place) of arbitration will be New Castle County, Delaware, USA.

(b) The arbitration will be conducted in English.

(c) The arbitrator may hold hearings (if any) by video or telephone, or in person at a location reasonably convenient for you, unless the arbitrator determines a different location is necessary.

15.4.3. Arbitrator.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator who has experience with consumer and technology disputes. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms and must apply applicable law in the same way a court would.

15.4.4. Fees and costs.

(a) Arbitration fees will be allocated as required by the applicable arbitration rules and law. GENZA will pay any arbitration fees that are required by law or the applicable rules to avoid making arbitration cost-prohibitive for you.

(b) The arbitrator may award fees and costs as permitted by the applicable rules and law, including where a claim is found to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

15.4.5. Discovery and evidence.

The arbitrator shall allow reasonable exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute, taking into account the amount at stake, the complexity of the issues and the need for a fair and efficient resolution. The arbitrator may limit discovery to ensure that the arbitration remains efficient and proportionate.

15.4.6. Confidentiality.

To the extent permitted by law and by the arbitration rules, you and GENZA agree to keep the arbitration proceedings, any related filings and any award confidential, except as necessary to enforce or challenge the award in court, or as otherwise required by law.

15.4.7. Award.

The arbitrator shall issue a written, reasoned decision that states the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The award shall be final and binding on you and GENZA and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.5. Coordination of Similar Claims.

15.5.1. Good-faith coordination.

If a large number of similar individual arbitration demands are filed against GENZA by the same or coordinated counsel, you and GENZA agree to work in good faith with the arbitration provider to adopt reasonable procedures to efficiently resolve such claims (for example, bellwether proceedings or other phased approaches), while preserving each party’s right to a fair and individual hearing.

15.5.2. No class or consolidated arbitration.

Any such procedures must remain consistent with the individual-only nature of arbitration under this Section 15 and may not authorize class, collective, representative or consolidated arbitration.

15.6. 30-Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration.

15.6.1. How to opt out.

You may opt out of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 15 (but not the jury waiver in Section 15.2.1) by sending a written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@genza.io or to the postal address in Section 17.8 within thirty (30) days after the date you first accepted these Terms.

15.6.2. Required content.

Your opt-out notice must include:

(a) your full name;

(b) the email address and/or phone number associated with your Account; and

(c) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement in Section 15 of the GENZA Terms of Use.

15.6.3. Effect of opt out.

If you opt out:

(a) neither you nor GENZA will be required to arbitrate Disputes; and

(b) you and GENZA may bring Disputes in court, subject to Section 16 (Governing Law and Venue) and the waiver of jury trial in Section 15.2.1.

Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other parts of these Terms.

15.7. Survival.

This Section 15 survives termination of your Account or these Terms and continues to apply to any Dispute between you and GENZA, whether arising before or after termination.

16. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

16.1. Governing Law.

16.1.1. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, these Terms, the Services and any Dispute between you and GENZA (as defined in Section 15) are governed by:

(a) the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of law rules that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; and

16.1.2. The arbitration agreement in Section 15 is additionally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which applies regardless of any choice-of-law rules.

16.1.3. Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive you of any mandatory consumer protection rights that apply to you under the laws of your place of residence, to the extent those rights cannot be waived by contract.

16.2. Venue / Forum for Court Proceedings (Claims Not Arbitrated).

16.2.1. This Section applies to any claim, cause of action or Dispute between you and GENZA that, under Section 15:

(a) is not required to be resolved by arbitration (for example, qualifying small claims, certain claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment, or certain intellectual property claims); or

(b) is otherwise brought in court (for example, actions to confirm, modify or vacate an arbitration award, or where a court determines that the arbitration agreement is unenforceable as to a specific claim),

and that is not required by applicable law to be brought in some other specific forum.

16.2.2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except where a different forum is required by applicable law:

(a) any such claim or Dispute must be brought exclusively in the state courts of the State of Delaware sitting in New Castle County, Delaware, or in the federal courts having jurisdiction over New Castle County, Delaware; and

(b) you and GENZA irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and agree that they are a proper and convenient forum for any such proceedings.

16.2.3. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and GENZA each waive any objection to the laying of venue in, or claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum for, any claim or Dispute covered by Section 16.2.

16.2.4. Court proceedings under this Section 16.2 are subject to the jury trial waiver in Section 15.2.1 and the individual-only requirement in Section 15.2.2 (no class, collective or representative actions), to the extent permitted by applicable law.

16.2.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a consumer residing in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you may be entitled under applicable law to bring certain claims relating to these Terms or the Services in the courts of your place of residence. In such cases, the mandatory provisions of the laws of your place of residence will apply to the extent they cannot be excluded by contract.

17. MISCELLANEOUS

17.1. Entire Agreement
