1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PolyQuest platform, including the website at polyquest.polsia.app, its mobile applications, and all associated services (collectively, the "Platform" or "PolyQuest").

If we discover that a user is under 18 years of age, we will immediately terminate their account and delete all associated data. If you believe a minor is using the Platform, please report it to safety@polyquest.polsia.app immediately.

15. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Platform shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 16, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Delaware for any dispute not subject to arbitration.
16. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Agreement to Arbitrate
Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court or that relate to the enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights, you and the Operator agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.
Arbitration Process
Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Delaware or, at your election, via videoconference. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver
YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OPERATOR. All disputes must be brought on an individual basis only. You may not consolidate your claim with the claims of any other person, and may not participate in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND THE OPERATOR BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL for any dispute subject to these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
Opt-Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@polyquest.polsia.app within 30 days of first creating your account. Your notice must include your full name, email address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
Time Limit on Claims
Any claim or cause of action you have against the Operator must be brought within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises, or it is permanently barred.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if not possible, severed from these Terms. The remainder of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
18. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies posted on the Platform, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding your use of PolyQuest and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, or representations.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of those rights.
