StartupCLO Terms of Use

Last Modified and Effective Date: July 3, 2026

Welcome to https://startupclo.com/ (the “Site”), operated by PIERRE, LLC., a New Mexico limited liability company doing business as StartupCLO (“StartupCLO,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement that describes how you may use the Site and any related online features, including accounts, portal access, chat, uploads, downloads, comments, messaging, community features, scheduling tools, client intake forms, newsletters, blog content, webinars, event registration, payment checkout, legal product or service enrollment flows, and other features made available now or in the future (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Site or Service, creating an account, purchasing a product or service, scheduling a consultation, submitting information, uploading documents, clicking “I Accept,” or taking any similar action, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Accessibility Policy. If you do not agree, you should not access or use the Site or Service.

In addition to these Terms, you may enter into other agreements with us, including an engagement agreement, legal services agreement, payment authorization, subscription agreement, consent form, or disclosure governing your purchase or use of specific legal products or legal services. If there is any conflict between these Terms and another agreement you enter into with us, the more specific agreement will govern with respect to the subject matter of that agreement.

1. Our Service

StartupCLO provides legal products and legal services for entrepreneurs and businesses, including Legal Launch, Legacy Fortress, FractionalCLO Packages, billable hourly legal work, and other flat-fee legal products. StartupCLO also provides attorney advertising and general legal information through the Site.

You may use the Site or Service to learn about our offerings, schedule consultations, submit information through forms, subscribe to newsletters or blog updates, register for webinars or events, purchase legal products or services, access account or portal features, upload documents, communicate with us, make payments, obtain downloads, participate in comments, messaging, or community features where available, or obtain general legal information.

StartupCLO provides legal products and legal services through PIERRE, LLC. Any attorney-client relationship is formed only if and when we have completed our intake and conflicts review, agreed to represent you, and entered into a signed engagement agreement or other written agreement with you. Use of the Site, receipt of general information, submission of an inquiry, scheduling a consultation, uploading information, creating an account, or purchase of a non-customized product does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship unless a separate written agreement expressly provides otherwise.

We do not guarantee any particular business, legal, financing, fundraising, transactional, tax, intellectual property, compliance, or other outcome. Results depend on many factors outside our control, including the facts you provide, applicable law, third-party actions, timing, market conditions, governmental processing times, investor or counterparty decisions, and your own business decisions.

2. Communication

We use the information we collect or receive to communicate directly with you regarding the Site, Service, inquiries, scheduled consultations, accounts, legal products, legal services, portal activity, document requests, billing, payment issues, newsletters, webinars, events, updates, and support, all as further described in the StartupCLO Privacy Policy.

By providing your contact information, you consent to receive communications from us by email, portal message, chat, or other electronic means for service-related purposes. If you voluntarily provide a phone number, you consent to receive service-related calls or text messages where permitted by law. You understand that consent to receive promotional communications is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services, and you may opt out of promotional email communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link, or emailing optout@startupclo.com with the subject line: OPT OUT - [User Name] - [Company Name]. You may not opt out of transactional, legal-service-related, billing, security, account, or administrative communications necessary to administer your account, provide the Service, comply with law, or satisfy professional obligations.

By using the Site or Service, you consent to receive disclosures, notices, records, agreements, authorizations, payment receipts, subscription notices, cancellation information, engagement documents, and other communications electronically, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You are responsible for maintaining a current and functional email address, mailing address, and, if applicable, account or portal access information so that you can timely receive communications from us.

3. Use of Service and Content

Eligibility and Representations of Users

The Service is intended primarily for adults who are entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, business representatives, or persons seeking legal products or legal services for business-related purposes. The Service is not intended for children under 13, and anyone under 13 is prohibited from using the Site or Service.

Users ages 13 through 17 may not purchase paid services, enter into legal engagements, create binding payment obligations, or request entity formation or legal services unless a parent, legal guardian, or other legally authorized adult is party to the applicable agreement and provides required consent. A parent or legal guardian who permits a minor to use the Site or Service is responsible for that minor’s use.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

If you violate these Terms or any other agreement with us, we may delete, disable, suspend, restrict, or remove any content, account, access, or information you have provided through the Service, and may prohibit you from using or accessing the Site, Service, or any of our products or services, subject to applicable law and any governing engagement agreement.

By using the Service, you further represent and warrant that:

Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. The StartupCLO Privacy Policy explains how we treat personal information that you provide to us or that we collect through your use of the Service, and how we seek to protect your information. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the StartupCLO Privacy Policy, available at https://startupclo.com/privacy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. We may collect, use, store, and disclose information as described in the StartupCLO Privacy Policy and as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, professional obligations, and any applicable engagement agreement.

Intellectual Property Ownership

For purposes of these Terms, “Intellectual Property Rights” means all patent rights, copyright rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights, database rights, know-how rights, and other intellectual property and proprietary rights that may now exist or later come into existence, and all applications, registrations, renewals, and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory, or other jurisdiction.

The Service and all materials therein or transferred thereby, including software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, templates, checklists, forms, guides, videos, webinars, recordings, downloads, legal product descriptions, workflows, and other content (the “StartupCLO Content”), and all Intellectual Property Rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of StartupCLO or its licensors. You do not acquire any right, title, or interest in, to, or under any StartupCLO Content by virtue of using the Site or Service.

Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or a separate written agreement, you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit, scrape, train models on, or create derivative works from any StartupCLO Content. Use of StartupCLO Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms or a separate written agreement is strictly prohibited.

You may choose to, or we may invite you to, submit comments, suggestions, testimonials, reviews, or ideas to us, including about the Service or how to improve our products or services (“Ideas”). By submitting any Idea, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited, and without restriction, and will not place StartupCLO under any fiduciary or other obligation, except to the extent a separate attorney-client relationship or confidentiality obligation applies. Subject to applicable confidentiality, professional responsibility, privacy, and engagement obligations, we may use Ideas without additional compensation or recognition to you. We do not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to us, developed by us, or obtained from sources other than you.

Licenses

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the StartupCLO Content and Service solely as permitted by these Terms or any other applicable written agreement between you and us. StartupCLO reserves all rights not expressly granted. StartupCLO may terminate the foregoing license at any time for any reason or no reason, subject to applicable law and any governing engagement agreement.

You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited, non-transferable license to use, reproduce, store, process, transmit, review, analyze, and display any content, documents, information, comments, messages, files, or other materials that you submit in connection with the Service solely for the purposes of providing, administering, securing, improving, and supporting the Service; communicating with you; fulfilling our obligations to you; complying with legal and professional obligations; processing payments; and exercising our rights under these Terms or any applicable agreement.

This license continues for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, administer your account, maintain business and legal records, comply with applicable law and professional obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements, subject to any deletion rights and retention obligations described in the StartupCLO Privacy Policy or applicable engagement agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may separately authorize the use of anonymized or identified testimonials, reviews, or feedback for StartupCLO’s marketing purposes. StartupCLO will treat personal information, business information, legal information, financial information, tax information, Social Security numbers, corporate governance documents, and other submitted information in accordance with the StartupCLO Privacy Policy, applicable law, professional obligations, and any applicable engagement agreement.

Usernames and Passwords

When you register for an account, we may ask you to create a username, password, or other access credentials (“Registration Details”). You are responsible for keeping your Registration Details safe and confidential and for all actions taken under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at legal@startupclo.com if you suspect or become aware of unauthorized access to or use of your Registration Details, account, portal, payment method, or submitted information.

Termination of User Access

StartupCLO reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site and Service effective immediately upon notice to you by email, portal message, or other reasonable means if, in StartupCLO’s sole discretion, you have violated these Terms, applicable law, our rights, another user’s rights, or any applicable agreement. Upon such determination, StartupCLO may block you from accessing or using the Site and Service.

If StartupCLO suspends or terminates your account, you may no longer access or use, or attempt to access or use, the Site or Service. Suspension or termination of Site or account access does not, by itself, terminate any separate legal services engagement, payment obligation, subscription obligation, confidentiality obligation, or other written agreement unless that agreement so provides.

4. Honesty

User Registration

You represent and warrant that all information you provide to us is true, accurate, current, and complete. You agree to update your information to maintain its truthfulness, accuracy, currency, and completeness. Without limiting the foregoing, you must not provide false or misleading information about your identity, contact information, business, authority, ownership, capitalization, tax status, legal status, corporate governance, payment method, legal needs, documents, or authority to act. You must not register more than one account without our express written permission.

Account Verification and Authorization

When you register for an account, request a consultation, purchase a product, enroll in a Service, or become a client, you agree to provide complete and accurate information and to abide by these Terms, the StartupCLO Privacy Policy, and any additional client-facing agreements, disclosures, payment authorizations, subscription terms, engagement letters, or service-specific terms that apply to your purchase or use of the Service.

When you register for an account and from time to time thereafter, your account may be subject to verification of one or more official government, financial, business, tax, identity, address, authority, ownership, or other legal documents that confirm your identity, eligibility, payment method, business authority, and authorization to act.

You consent to, and authorize StartupCLO directly or through third parties, to make inquiries reasonably necessary to validate your identity, contact information, payment method, address, business information, account information, authority, and submitted documents, subject to applicable law and professional obligations. When requested, you must provide information and documentation necessary to verify your identity, authority, and the accuracy of information relevant to the Service. Delays, inaccuracies, incomplete submissions, failure to provide requested documentation, or failure to respond may delay, limit, or prevent our ability to provide the Service.

If you enroll in paid services, you authorize StartupCLO, directly or through Stripe or other third-party payment processors, to charge your designated payment method for any fees you agree to pay in accordance with your checkout terms, subscription terms, client agreement, engagement agreement, payment authorization, and applicable law.

Offerings are subject to change, written agreement, and applicable law.

You agree to maintain current billing information and to cooperate as reasonably necessary for us to process authorized payments, investigate failed or reversed payments, administer payment obligations, and maintain your account. StartupCLO uses Stripe for checkout and payment processing. StartupCLO does not intentionally store full payment card details; payment information may be collected and processed by Stripe under Stripe’s own terms and privacy policy.

By subscribing, you authorize StartupCLO.com to charge you according to the applicable terms until payment obligations are satisfied or otherwise resolved under the applicable agreement. FractionalCLO Packages are offered as 12-month contracts. The 12-month term does not automatically renew unless both parties choose to renew in a separate written agreement or renewal process.

FractionalCLO Packages are not cancellable during the 12-month term except as expressly provided in the applicable engagement agreement or required by law. If you cancel, repudiate, fail to pay, or otherwise breach a signed 12-month FractionalCLO contract, StartupCLO may pursue remedies under the applicable engagement agreement and applicable law, including payment for any excess time accrued and contractual breach remedies. Unused services do not roll over unless the applicable engagement agreement expressly provides otherwise.

Except as expressly required by applicable law, professional responsibility rules, or a signed written agreement, all fees are non-refundable. No-refund terms, billing timing, taxes, payment obligations, and related payment terms will be governed by the applicable checkout terms, client agreement, engagement agreement, payment authorization, subscription terms, and applicable law. StartupCLO is a New Mexico LLC taxed as a partnership. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, assessments, charges, or governmental fees associated with your purchase, except to the extent StartupCLO is required by law to collect or remit them.

(a) Client Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

You remain solely responsible for your own business, legal, tax, financial, operational, governance, filing, compliance, fundraising, payment, employment, intellectual property, and other obligations unless and until such obligations are separately assumed in a signed written agreement. The Service does not relieve you of your obligation to review business records, legal documents, government filings, tax filings, billing statements, payment obligations, contracts, notices, and other relevant documents.

(b) Cancellation Rights

If you purchase legal products, subscription services, or legal services, you may have cancellation rights under applicable law or under your client agreement, engagement agreement, checkout terms, or subscription terms. Any applicable cancellation period, instructions, and related disclosures will be provided separately if required by law or agreement. FractionalCLO Packages are not cancellable during the 12-month term except as expressly provided in the applicable engagement agreement or required by law.

5. Restrictions and Clarifications on Use of Service

Nature of Service

StartupCLO is a legal services and legal products business that provides legal products, legal services, attorney advertising, educational information, administrative tools, intake workflows, client support, and, where applicable, access to attorney services for entrepreneurs and businesses. The Site and Service are intended to support business users in understanding and obtaining StartupCLO offerings, subject to applicable law and applicable engagement agreements.

No Guarantee of Results

We do not guarantee any specific legal, business, financing, fundraising, entity formation, tax, compliance, intellectual property, contractual, operational, investment, or other outcome. Any educational content, articles, blog posts, checklists, templates, webinars, event materials, testimonials, timelines, or similar materials appearing on the Site are illustrative only and do not constitute a promise, prediction, legal opinion, or guarantee of future results.

Compliance With Applicable Law

StartupCLO intends to operate in compliance with applicable federal and state law governing legal services, attorney advertising, professional responsibility, privacy, consumer protection, electronic communications, subscriptions, payments, and data security. Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive any non-waivable right. Where required by law, clients will receive separate written disclosures, engagement terms, notices, consent forms, or cancellation information. To the extent any provision of these Terms conflicts with applicable law, applicable law will control.

Third-Party Providers and Payment Processors

We may use one or more third-party service providers to support the Site and Service, including:

These and other providers may support hosting, communications, payment processing, document management, analytics, scheduling, CRM, client management, newsletter, blog, chat, support, legal technology, legal research, and operations.

Such third parties may have their own terms, conditions, privacy practices, security practices, and service availability. Your use of third-party functionality may be subject to those terms in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, products, services, policies, or practices of third-party providers except as required by applicable law or a separate written agreement.

General Restrictions

6. Miscellaneous

No Financial, Tax, or Non-Engaged Legal Advice

Unless and until we enter into a written engagement agreement that expressly states otherwise, StartupCLO does not provide legal, financial, tax, accounting, investment, lending, securities, insurance, or other professional advice through general Site content. Any information made available through the Site or Service, including articles, blog posts, FAQs, templates, checklists, webinars, event materials, product descriptions, examples, downloads, or communications outside an attorney-client engagement, is for general educational and informational purposes only.

Nothing on the Site or in the Service should be construed as a recommendation or guarantee that you should take or refrain from taking any particular action. You are solely responsible for evaluating your circumstances and deciding whether any strategy, transaction, filing, legal structure, contract, financing, fundraising, payment, compliance step, or other action is appropriate for you. You should consult qualified legal, tax, financial, accounting, and other professional advisors regarding your specific situation.

No Agency

These Terms and any use by you or any other person or entity of the Service shall not be construed as creating or implying any relationship of agency, franchise, partnership, joint venture, employment, fiduciary duty, or attorney-client relationship between you and StartupCLO, except to the extent expressly created by a separate written engagement agreement.

Availability of Service, Changes and Modifications

We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any portion of the Service, for any reason, with or without notice, subject to applicable law and any governing engagement agreement. Certain features described in these Terms may be planned, beta, limited, unavailable, or subject to change, including accounts, portal access, chat, downloads, comments, messaging, community features, uploads, and user interactions.

We may change these Terms from time to time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes by email or by posting a prominent notice on the Site at least fifteen (15) days before such changes take effect, unless a shorter period is permitted or required by law. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or Service.

Third Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, applications, resources, software, products, or services not owned or controlled by StartupCLO. StartupCLO does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for such third-party sites, tools, content, products, services, accessibility, privacy practices, security practices, or legal compliance.

StartupCLO may work with third-party providers to support operation of the Site and Service, including hosting, communications, email, cloud storage, payment processing, document management, analytics, scheduling, CRM, client management, newsletter, blog, forms, support, legal research, legal technology, and other operational functions. Your use of integrated third-party features may be subject to the third party’s own terms and policies.

User Content

The Service may allow you to submit content, upload files, complete forms, comment, send messages, interact with other users, participate in community areas, or otherwise provide information (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring that you have the right to submit it.

You must not submit third-party personal information, confidential information, trade secrets, tax records, legal records, business records, financial records, or client information unless you have authority to do so and the submission is necessary for the Service.

Uploads may be subject to different confidentiality classifications or tags within the Service. Depending on the feature used, document tag, account setting, user selection, engagement status, and surrounding context, uploaded materials may be treated differently for access, review, confidentiality, and privilege purposes. You should not post confidential, privileged, proprietary, sensitive, legal, tax, financial, business, or personal information in public, community-visible, or user-visible areas unless you intend for that information to be available in that area and have authority to share it.

StartupCLO may, but is not obligated to, monitor, review, moderate, remove, disable, or restrict User Content or accounts in its discretion.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM STARTUPCLO OR THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL STARTUPCLO, PIERRE, LLC., OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, ENHANCED, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, FINANCING, INVESTMENT, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL STARTUPCLO OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM HACKING, TAMPERING, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR USE OF, THE SERVICE, ACCOUNT, PORTAL, PAYMENT METHOD, OR INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STARTUPCLO AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND YOU RELEASE STARTUPCLO AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES FROM, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR COSTS ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH:

IN NO EVENT SHALL STARTUPCLO OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR CLAIMS, PROCEEDINGS, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR COSTS IN AN AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO STARTUPCLO UNDER THE APPLICABLE SERVICE DURING THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $100.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY APPLIES WHETHER LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT LIMITABLE BY LAW, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF STARTUPCLO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS, SO SOME LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THESE TERMS GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY BY JURISDICTION. DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, AND LIMITATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.

TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, YOU WAIVE THE PROTECTIONS OF ANY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLE IN ANY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION THAT LIMITS THE SCOPE OF A GENERAL RELEASE TO EXCLUDE CLAIMS THE RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED THE RELEASE.

You may use the Service only in a manner consistent with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations, including U.S. export control, sanctions, anti-money-laundering, anti-bribery, anti-corruption, privacy, consumer protection, and professional responsibility laws. Registration for and use of the Service is void where prohibited.

No Waiver

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that the court or arbitrator should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Assignability

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without StartupCLO’s prior written consent, but may be assigned by StartupCLO without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, or by operation of law. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void ab initio.

Survival

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive any termination of your access to the Site or Service, including provisions relating to intellectual property, licenses, user content, payments, refunds, subscriptions, disclaimers, indemnity, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, governing law, and miscellaneous terms.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the StartupCLO Privacy Policy, any amendments, and any additional agreements you enter into with StartupCLO in connection with the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and StartupCLO concerning the Service, except that any signed engagement agreement or service-specific written agreement controls over these Terms with respect to its subject matter.

Except where the context requires otherwise, the singular includes the plural, the plural includes the singular, and the use of any gender applies to all genders. The word “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by “and/or.” Headings are for convenience only. The term “including” will be deemed followed by “without limitation.”

Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute between you and us relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved solely in accordance with the Dispute Resolution section of these Terms.

Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, the Service, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, except to the extent arbitration of a particular claim is prohibited by applicable law or professional responsibility rules.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with JAMS rules. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceedings and any element of them, including pleadings, briefs, documents, testimony, submissions, and awards, shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, JAMS, the parties, their legal representatives, and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceedings, except as required by law, regulation, court order, professional obligation, or to enforce or challenge an award.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND STARTUPCLO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND STARTUPCLO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
