WITH RESPECT TO USERS WHO ACCESS THE Stardust SERVICES IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, THIS SECTION DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
9. JURISDICTIONAL AND VENUE ISSUES These Terms of Service and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 19 “Dispute Resolution for Consumers,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Stardust are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California, and you and Stardust each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. We make no representation that Content on any Stardust Service is appropriate or available for use in any particular location. Those who choose to access a Stardust Service do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws including any applicable local laws.
10. AMENDMENT Subject to applicable law, at any time, we may amend these Terms of Service (including by modification, deletion and/or addition of any portion thereof). If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the updated Terms of Service on the Site or our App or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms of Service whenever we update them or you use the Stardust Services. If you continue to use the Stardust Services after we have posted updated Terms of Service, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms of Service. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms of Service, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 19(f) “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you may not use the Stardust Services anymore. Because our Stardust Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Stardust Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion. You agree that, at all times, you are responsible for updating your personal information to provide us your current e-mail address.
11. TERMINATION These Terms of Service are effective until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by discontinuing use of the Stardust Services and destroying all materials obtained from the Stardust Services and all related documentation and all copies and installations thereof, whether made under these Terms of Service or otherwise.
We may immediately terminate these Terms of Service with respect to you (including your access to Stardust Services) in our absolute discretion including, without limitation, if you breach or fail to comply with any material term or provision of these Terms of Service. Upon termination, you must cease use of the Stardust Services and destroy all materials obtained from the Stardust Services and all copies thereof, whether made under these Terms of Service or otherwise.
Any fraudulent, abusive or otherwise illegal activity may also be grounds for termination of your account, at our sole discretion, and you may be reported to appropriate law-enforcement agencies.
12. GENERAL PROVISIONS If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms of Service take effect as an agreement and separately as a notice which limits the basis on which Stardust makes the Stardust Services available. No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. In these Terms of Service, the word "including" is used illustratively, as if followed by the words "but not limited to." TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR ANY Stardust SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR (OR THE MINIMUM APPLICABLE STATUTORY PERIOD, IF LONGER) AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR CONSUMERS The following terms of Section 17 “Dispute Resolution for Consumers” only apply if you are an individual who is using the Stardust Services and Content for your own personal use and are not representing a legal entity.
(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Stardust Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. However, if for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.
(b) Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 17(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court If it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by regular mail at Mingyang internal center B building, Dongcheng, Beijing, China 100005, within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.
(c) Starting Arbitration. If you want to begin arbitrating a Dispute, you must send a letter to us at the following address Mingyang internal center B building, Dongcheng, Beijing, China 100005, requesting arbitration and describing the Dispute. If we want to begin arbitrating a Dispute, we’ll send such a letter to you at the email address or street address that you provided.

The arbitration may be conducted in writing, remotely (e.g., by videoconference) or in-person in the county where you live (or at some other location that we both agree to).
(e) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
(f) Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12 “Amendment” above, if we change any of the terms of this Section 17 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Stardust’s email to you notifying you of such change.
