Arbitration Agreement; Waiver of Rights Related to Class Actions and Trial by Jury
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and the ParaFi Parties, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Site, the Content, the Services, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and ParaFi are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site, the Content, or the Services or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
Both you and ParaFi acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, all ParaFi Parties that are not ParaFi are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, such ParaFi Parties will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right), as the third-party beneficiary hereof, to enforce these Terms against you.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: YOU AND PARAFI AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND PARAFI AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: ParaFi is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to a visitor’s satisfaction by emailing us at legal@parafi.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to ParaFi should be sent to 500 West Putnam Avenue, Suite 400, Greenwich CT 06830, Attention: General Counsel (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. If ParaFi and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or ParaFi may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ParaFi or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or ParaFi is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving such disputes. All applicable Rules are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties in a signed writing, and be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online as mutually agreed upon by the parties. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Each Party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If there is any inconsistency between any term of the Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Exceptions to Arbitration. Either you or ParaFi may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in the state and county of New York, New York. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights or confidential information. You and ParaFi acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce these Terms. The non-breaching party may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect its rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You and ParaFi hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the state and county of New York, New York for purposes of any such action.
Additionally, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement: Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, ParaFi agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending ParaFi written notice within thirty (30) calendar days to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
Exclusive Venue. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits either you or ParaFi to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing Arbitration Agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and ParaFi agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the state and county of New York, New York.
Miscellaneous
These Terms are governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. You expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the state and county of New York. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Failure of ParaFi to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against ParaFi unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by ParaFi and you, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ParaFi with respect to the subject matter, and supercedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. Unless otherwise stated in the Terms, if any provision of the Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the remaining provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. These Terms will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees. Any information submitted or provided by you to us might be publicly accessible. Important and private information should be protected by you. ParaFi is not liable for protection of privacy of electronic mail or other information transferred through the Internet or any other network that you may use.

Arbitration Agreement; Waiver of Rights Related to Class Actions and Trial by Jury
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and the ParaFi Parties, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Site, the Content, the Services, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and ParaFi are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site, the Content, or the Services or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
Both you and ParaFi acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, all ParaFi Parties that are not ParaFi are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, such ParaFi Parties will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right), as the third-party beneficiary hereof, to enforce these Terms against you.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: YOU AND PARAFI AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND PARAFI AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: ParaFi is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to a visitor’s satisfaction by emailing us at legal@parafi.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to ParaFi should be sent to 500 West Putnam Avenue, Suite 400, Greenwich CT 06830, Attention: General Counsel (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. If ParaFi and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or ParaFi may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ParaFi or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or ParaFi is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving such disputes. All applicable Rules are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties in a signed writing, and be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online as mutually agreed upon by the parties. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Each Party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If there is any inconsistency between any term of the Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Exceptions to Arbitration. Either you or ParaFi may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in the state and county of New York, New York. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights or confidential information. You and ParaFi acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce these Terms. The non-breaching party may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect its rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You and ParaFi hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the state and county of New York, New York for purposes of any such action.
Additionally, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement: Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, ParaFi agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending ParaFi written notice within thirty (30) calendar days to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
Exclusive Venue. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits either you or ParaFi to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing Arbitration Agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and ParaFi agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the state and county of New York, New York.
Miscellaneous
These Terms are governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. You expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the state and county of New York. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Failure of ParaFi to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against ParaFi unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by ParaFi and you, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ParaFi with respect to the subject matter, and supercedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. Unless otherwise stated in the Terms, if any provision of the Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the remaining provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. These Terms will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees. Any information submitted or provided by you to us might be publicly accessible. Important and private information should be protected by you. ParaFi is not liable for protection of privacy of electronic mail or other information transferred through the Internet or any other network that you may use.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Exceptions to Arbitration. Either you or ParaFi may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in the state and county of New York, New York. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights or confidential information. You and ParaFi acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce these Terms. The non-breaching party may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect its rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You and ParaFi hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the state and county of New York, New York for purposes of any such action.
Additionally, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement: Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, ParaFi agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending ParaFi written notice within thirty (30) calendar days to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
Exclusive Venue. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits either you or ParaFi to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing Arbitration Agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and ParaFi agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the state and county of New York, New York.
Miscellaneous
These Terms are governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. You expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the state and county of New York. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Failure of ParaFi to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against ParaFi unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by ParaFi and you, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ParaFi with respect to the subject matter, and supercedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. Unless otherwise stated in the Terms, if any provision of the Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the remaining provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. These Terms will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees. Any information submitted or provided by you to us might be publicly accessible. Important and private information should be protected by you. ParaFi is not liable for protection of privacy of electronic mail or other information transferred through the Internet or any other network that you may use.
