By registering or using the Platform to offer, post, or provide Verified Services, Registered Members represent and warrant that they, and the employees, agents, contractors, and subcontractors who may perform work for them, are properly and fully qualified and experienced, and licensed, certified, bonded, and insured, as required by applicable laws or regulations to which they may be subject in the jurisdiction(s) in which they offer their Verified Services and in relation to the specific job they are performing. Registered Members otherwise agree to comply with all applicable laws, including the Uganda Consumer Privacy Act, in their use of the Platform and any personal information obtained from the Platform.

Registered Members understand and agree that by creating and maintaining an account on the Platform, they receive only the ability to use the Kazitasks Platform to access persons interested in receiving Verified Services and related tools, including but not limited to the ability to message those persons or schedule appointments, that facilitate the provision of Verified Services. For example, Customer Members may use the Platform to intentionally interact with Registered Members regarding Verified Services. Registered Members understand and agree that using the Platform does not guarantee that anyone will engage them for Verified Services.

Registered Members understand and agree that they are customers of Kazitasks, and are not Kazitasks employees, joint venturers, partners, or agents. Registered Members acknowledge that they set or confirm their own prices, provide their own equipment, and determine their own work schedule. Kazitasks does not control, and has no right to control, the services a Service Member provides (including how the Service Member provides such services) if the Service Member is engaged by a Customer Member or any other person, except as specifically noted herein.

Kazitasks, as permitted by applicable laws, obtains reports regarding Registered Members, which may include history of criminal convictions or sex offender registration, and we may limit, block, suspend, deactivate, or cancel a Service Member’s account based on the results of such a check. As a Service Member, you agree and authorize us to use your personal information, such as your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports from Kazitasks’s vendors.

In the interest of clarity, the license granted to Kazitasks shall survive termination of the Platform or your Account.

Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (a) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content that you make available on or through the Platform or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to Kazitasks the rights in such User Content, as contemplated under these Terms; and (b) neither the User Content nor your posting, uploading, publication, submission or transmittal of the User Content or Kazitasks's use of your User Content (or any portion thereof) on, through or by means of the Platform will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

KAZITASKS BUDGET, FEES, AND TAXES

In connection with the use of Kazitasks's Platform, Kazitasks charges certain fees ("Kazitasks Fees" or "Fees").

Registered Members can pay Fees to Kazitasks in order to receive certain services on the Platform, including but not limited to being matched with and receiving contacts from Customer Members or other individuals. As a Service Member, Kazitasks will automatically charge your stored payment method when those Customer Members or other individuals contact you. Fees for additional products or services, including ongoing products or services, will be presented to you before you use such products or services. In order to use Kazitasks, you must have at least one valid payment method stored on file. As described more fully below, you may also be required to set a weekly spending limit or Budget (as defined below) for at least one service category (which may also apply to contacts in jobs related to your preferences). Except as otherwise described herein, all sales on Kazitasks are final and non-refundable.

Budget for Registered Members. As a Service Member, Kazitasks may require you to set one or more weekly spending limits (“Budgets”) for how much you are willing to spend on certain Fees over a specific period (“Budget Period”). The types of leads or other Fees that count against your Budget will be disclosed to you at the time you set your Budget. You understand that Kazitasks may charge your stored payment method in excess of your Budgets if such charges relate to Fees not covered by your budget, or if you otherwise give Kazitasks permission to do so. You will not be charged the Budget amount upfront or automatically - your Budget is not a subscription. Rather, you will be charged Fees (as further described below) and the types of Fees covered by a Budget will not exceed such Budget without your permission. While Kazitasks may provide an estimate for the number of customers who may contact you if you set a particular Budget for a particular Budget Period, you acknowledge and agree that any such estimate is not a guarantee, that Kazitasks does not and cannot control any Customer Member or other individual’s interest in contacting or hiring you, and that actual results will vary.

We will identify the length of the Budget Period when you set your Budget. The length of the Budget Period will not change within a given Budget Period but may be changed for subsequent Budget Periods. If a Budget Period length changes, you can adjust your Budget. If you do not do so, Kazitasks will automatically pro-rate your then-current Budget to the length of the new period. For example, if you indicate you are willing to spend $100 for a one-week Budget Period, the Budget Period shifts to two weeks, and you do not make changes manually, your Budget will automatically be adjusted to $200 for the two-week Budget Period.

Similarly, if Kazitasks merges two or more categories of services for which you have set a Budget or changes your Budget structure to apply across all categories you offer services in, your Budget for the newly combined category or aggregated Budget, respectively, will be the sum of the Budgets for the two or more categories prior to the merger. You will be able to adjust how much you are willing to spend in the newly combined Budget for future Budget Periods. If Kazitasks reverts any such combination, your original Budgets will be restored using your then current aggregate Budget and your pro rata distribution among categories existing immediately prior to such combination.

You can change your Budget for a Budget Period at any time, including in the middle of a Budget Period. If you adjust your Budget upward, the new Budget will take effect immediately. If you adjust your Budget downward, the new Budget will only take effect at the beginning of the next Budget Period. If you do not change your Budget in advance of a subsequent Budget Period, your Budget from the then-current Budget Period will automatically be used for that subsequent Budget Period, subject to the foregoing.

Timing of Charges for Registered Members on Kazitasks. As a Service Member using Kazitasks, there are different points at which your payment method may be charged:

If You Lack Sufficient Purchasing History on Kazitasks

If you are new to Kazitasks or do not have a sufficient purchasing history on the Platform as determined in Kazitasks’s sole and absolute discretion, your payment method may be charged each time you are contacted by a Customer Member or other individual and you do not have an adequate Kazitasks balance to cover the cost of that contact.

If You Have a Sufficient Purchasing History On Kazitasks

Once Kazitasks determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that you have sufficient purchasing history on Kazitasks, Kazitasks may charge your payment method periodically for the total Fees accrued when Customer Members or other individuals contact you. Specifically, Kazitasks may charge your payment method each time (a) a specific time period has passed; and/or (b) within that time period, each time the total Fees accrued hit a certain dollar threshold. The frequency of charges may not match the Budget Period described above.

Kazitasks may adjust both the specific time period and the dollar threshold that trigger charges in its sole and absolute discretion. Kazitasks may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, revert to charging your payment method each time you are contacted by a Customer Member or other individual and you do not have an adequate Kazitasks balance to cover the cost of that contact.

Default Payment Method. For ordinary charges of Registered Members, Kazitasks will first attempt to charge the default payment method. In the event that Kazitasks is unable to charge that payment method for any reason--including but not limited to exceeding a payment method’s credit limit, payment method cancellation, a payment method being out of date, or payment method details being incorrect--you agree that Kazitasks may charge any other payment method associated with your account. If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with updated card details. We may use these new details in order to help prevent any interruption to the Verified Services. If Kazitasks is unable to charge the default payment method, Kazitasks will attempt to charge any other payment methods associated with your Account in the order in which they were most recently provided, used, or updated on the Platform, charging the most recently provided, used, or updated valid payment method first.

Penalty Fees for All Members. Kazitasks may also charge penalty Fees for fraud, misconduct or other violations of these Terms, as determined in our sole discretion. Information about current penalty Fees is available in the help center.

You agree to pay all applicable Fees or charges based on the Fee and billing terms then in effect, regardless of whether you have an active Account. Charges shall be made to the payment method designated at the time you accrue a Fee. If you do not pay on time or if Kazitasks cannot charge a payment method for any reason, Kazitasks reserves all rights permissible under law to recover payment and all costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in our pursuit of payment. If any Fee is not paid in a timely manner, or we are unable to process your transaction using the payment method provided, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend your Account.

You explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts or Fees due will be made by electronic mail or by phone. You agree that all notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You agree that you have the ability to store such electronic communications such that they remain accessible to you in an unchanged form. You agree to keep your contact information, including, but not limited to, email address and phone number current. Such communication may be made by Kazitasks or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collection agent. If you cancel your Account at any time, you will not receive any refund. If you have a balance due on any Account, you agree that Kazitasks may charge such unpaid Fees to any payment method or otherwise bill you for such unpaid Fees.

Taxes. Payments required by these Terms may be stated exclusive of all taxes, duties, levies, imposts, fines or similar governmental assessments, including sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, goods and services taxes, excise, business, service, and similar transactional taxes imposed by any jurisdiction and the interest and penalties thereon (collectively, “Taxes”). Certain jurisdictions, however, may require us to collect Taxes from you in connection with the purchase of, payment for, access to, or use of the Verified Services, and you shall be responsible for and bear Taxes associated with the purchase of, payment for, access to, or use of the Verified Services. Charges are inclusive of applicable Taxes where required by law. You hereby confirm that Kazitasks can determine your appropriate jurisdiction for tax purposes however it deems appropriate or as required by law, and you agree to pay taxes to Kazitasks when Kazitasks includes a charge for taxes on any invoice. You also understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining your own tax reporting and sales and use tax collection requirements in consultation with your own tax advisers, and that we cannot and do not offer specific tax advice to either Registered Members or Customer Members.

TRACKING COMMUNICATIONS

In order to ensure appropriate charging of Fees and to enforce these Terms, Kazitasks may track the occurrence of communications between Customer Members and Registered Members that occur off of the Platform via email, phone call, SMS text message, third-party websites, or any other means, whether initiated by a Customer Member or Service Member. In order to track the occurrence of such communications, Kazitasks may obscure Service Member contact information in a Service Member profile, replace Service Member contact information in a Service Member profile with a different piece of contact information that will forward to the Service Member, or take any other step reasonably calculated to track the occurrence of such communications. Except as explicitly stated herein, we will not record or review the content of any communications that do not come into contact with the Kazitasks Platform unless we first obtain your permission.

If you send text messages with a Customer Member or Service Member using the telephone number for that Member available on the Platform, we may use a third-party service provider to track these text messages. We track these text messages for fraud prevention, to ensure appropriate charging of Fees, to enforce these Terms, and for quality and training purposes. As part of this process, Kazitasks and its service provider will receive in real time and store data about your text message, including the date and time of the text message, your phone number, and the content of the text message.

MARKETPLACE PAYMENTS

The Kazitasks platform may facilitate payments between Customer Members and Registered Members (“Marketplace Payments”) through our payment processing partner Stripe, but Kazitasks is not a party to any such Marketplace Payments and does not handle funds on behalf of its Members. Registered Members who receive Marketplace Payments from Customer Members on Kazitasks must agree to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement. As a Service Member, by agreeing to these terms or continuing to operate as a Service Member on Kazitasks, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and Stripe Services Agreement, as those agreements may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of receiving payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Kazitasks with accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Kazitasks to share this information and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

As a Customer Member making a Marketplace Payment through Stripe, you agree to pay all amounts you owe when due using your preferred payment method. You further authorize Stripe to charge your preferred payment method for amounts you owe when they are due, whether they are recurring or one-time payments. You must keep all payment information you provide us up-to-date, accurate and complete. Do not share your payment card, bank account or other financial information with any other Member. We take steps to secure all payment method and other personal financial information, but we expressly disclaim any liability to you, and you agree to hold us harmless for any damages you may suffer as a result of the disclosure of your personal financial information to any unintended recipients.

Kazitasks may enable you to make Marketplace Payments using credit, debit, or prepaid cards, by linking your bank account, or by any other payment method we support. We reserve the right to cancel your ability to make payments with one or more of the payment methods you have authorized in our sole and absolute discretion.

If you choose your bank account as your Marketplace Payment method, you authorize Stripe to make Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) withdrawals from your bank account, and to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate any dispute involving payments you make to us or to a Member, which may include ordering a credit report and performing other credit checks or verifying the information you provide us against third-party databases. You authorize Kazitasks or its provider to initiate one or more ACH debit entries (withdrawals) or the creation of an equivalent bank draft for the specified amount(s) from your bank account, and you authorize the financial institutions that holds you bank account to deduct such payments. You also authorize the bank that holds your bank account to deduct any such payments in the amounts and frequency designated in your Account.

If your full order is not processed by us at the same time, you hereby authorize partial debits from your bank account, not to exceed the total amount of your order You agree to pay any ACH fees or fines you or we incur associated with transactions you authorize. This return fee will vary based on which state you are located in. The return fee may be added to your payment amount and debited from your bank account if we resubmit an ACH debit due to insufficient funds. We may initiate a collection process or legal action to collect any money owed to us. You agree to pay all our costs for such action, including any reasonable attorneys' fees. Federal law limits your liability for any fraudulent, erroneous, or unauthorized transactions from your bank account based on how quickly you report it to your financial institution. You must report any fraudulent, erroneous or unauthorized transactions to your bank no more than 60 days after the disputed transaction appeared on your bank account statement. Please contact your bank for more information about the policies and procedures that apply unauthorized transactions and the limits on your liability.

Marketplace Payment Disputes: All requests for Marketplace Payment chargebacks, errors, claims, refunds and disputes (“Payment Disputes”) will be subject to review by Kazitasks in accordance with the rules applicable to the payment method you used to make the Marketplace Payment and will be in Kazitasks’s absolute discretion. Kazitasks is not liable to you under any circumstances for Payment Disputes we are unable to resolve in your favor. We will normally process your valid written Payment Dispute request within thirty (30) days after we receive it, unless a shorter period is required by law. You may file a Payment Dispute by emailing it to Kazitasks support at support@Kazitasks.com. If you close or deactivate your Account before we adjudicate your Payment Dispute, we will not be able to issue you any amounts you are owed. We will attempt to pay you any Payment Disputed amounts you are owed using the method with which you made the disputed payment, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so if your payment method information is inaccurate, incomplete, or has been cancelled.

If your actions result, or are likely to result in a Payment Dispute, a violation of these Terms of Use or create other risks to Kazitasks or our payment processing partners, or if we determine that your Account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, then we may permanently withhold any amounts owed to you in our sole discretion. If you have a past due balance due on any Account, or for any additional amounts that we determine you owe us, we may, without limiting any other rights or remedies: (a) charge one or more of your payment methods; (b) offset any amounts you owe us against amounts you may be owed; (c) invoice you for amounts due to us, which such amounts will be due upon receipt; (d) reverse or block any credits to your bank account; or (e) collect payment from you by any other lawful means.

If you fail to make Marketplace Payments you owe when due, or if Kazitasks is unable to charge one of your payment methods for any reason, Kazitasks reserves all rights permissible under law to recover payment and all costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in our pursuit of payment. You explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts or overdue payments will be made by electronic mail or by phone. Such communication may be made by Kazitasks or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collections agent.

Kazitasks may, from time to time, place a hold on any of your payment methods. Any such hold will be temporary and will not mature into a charge on your payment method. Payment method holds are intended to prevent failed payments.

KAZITASKS PROMOTIONS

You may receive certain offers from Kazitasks (“Promotions”), including but not limited to discounted or free use of the Platform for a limited period. Any Promotions are offered at Kazitasks’s discretion, and may be revoked at any time and for any reason.

You are only eligible for any benefits described in the Promotion if (a) you received a communication directly from Kazitasks offering you that Promotion, (b) you satisfy all the requirements identified in that communication; and (c) you maintain an account in good standing with Kazitasks. We may condition receipt of a benefit described in a Promotion in any manner we see appropriate, including limiting eligibility to a subset of Members, to specific categories, or to certain dates. To be eligible for a benefit described in a Promotion, you may need to take a specific action (including but not limited to signing up for a service) or make a payment for specific services.

To the extent you are eligible for multiple promotions that discount a Fee, we will apply those promotions sequentially. For instance, if you are eligible for both a 15% and 10% discount on a $10 Fee, you will pay $7.65.

Any benefits from participating in the Promotion, requirements of accepting the offer, and any other conditions to receive any benefit described in the Promotion will be disclosed to you. After a Promotion ends, regardless of whether you have already satisfied the requirements, you will be ineligible to receive those benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Kazitasks may revoke a benefit if we believe that you have not satisfied the Promotion requirements, including maintaining an Account in good standing.

SPONSORED INFORMATION

ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

You and Kazitasks agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with Kazitasks as follows:

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach Kazitasks's support department at support@Kazitasks.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the Kazitasks support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, as described below.

Where the relief sought is $10,000 or less and you do not wish to bring the claim in small claims court, the arbitration will be conducted online by an online arbitration provider of our choosing in accordance with their applicable Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective at the time a claim is made. Currently, to start, you may initiate arbitration proceedings on the FairClaims website. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

Where the relief sought is $10,001 or more, resolution shall be in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. To start an arbitration with JAMS, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, Uganda 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Kazitasks at 1355 Market Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, Uganda 94103, ATTN: Legal. You will be required to pay $250 to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Kazitasks will pay all other fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Uganda, United States of America. You and Kazitasks further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco County, Uganda in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND KAZITASKS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on Kazitasks) written notice of your decision to opt out to opt-out@Kazitasks.com with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the later of the Effective Date of these Terms or your first use of the Platform; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Kazitasks also will not be bound by them.

Changes to This Section: Kazitasks will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes affecting the substance of this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section by posting on the Kazitasks Terms of Use website, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Kazitasks Terms of Use website or sent to you.

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Platform.

Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account or the Platform.

Third-Party Beneficiary: You and Kazitasks acknowledge that any third party consumer reporting agency that Kazitasks uses to perform background checks on Registered Members is an express and intended third party beneficiary of this arbitration provision and as such, the terms of this Arbitration provision will inure to the benefit of the consumer reporting agencies and may be enforced by them. Accordingly, you agree that any dispute that arises between you and a consumer reporting agency that relates to or arises out of this Agreement or any aspect of your relationship with Kazitasks will be resolved by binding arbitration. If any court or arbitrator determines that this third-party beneficiary subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the remainder of the section shall remain enforceable, meaning that the class action waiver and the mutual obligation to resolve disputes between you and Kazitasks through binding arbitration remains enforceable.

GOVERNING LAW

The Terms and the relationship between you and Kazitasks shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Uganda, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Kazitasks that is not subject to arbitration must be resolved by a court located in Uganda
