US Addendum to the Terms of Service
Version 2026-08-14 · Effective August 14, 2026
This Addendum forms part of the Terms of Service between you (“Customer”) and Monine AS (“Monine”) and applies ONLY if you are a Customer located in the United States. Where this Addendum conflicts with the main Terms for a matter it covers, this Addendum governs for United States Customers.
1. Agreement to arbitrate
You and Monine agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms or the Service (a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, rather than in court, except as set out in §4. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, may be conducted remotely by video or telephone unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is necessary, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
2. Class-action waiver
You and Monine each agree to bring any Dispute only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding. If a court decides this class-action waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) must be brought in court, and the rest of this Addendum otherwise remains in force.
3. Costs
Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees and costs, and arbitration filing, administration and arbitrator fees are allocated as the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules provide, unless the arbitrator determines a different allocation is warranted.
4. Carve-outs — what does not go to arbitration
Either party may instead bring, without waiving this agreement to arbitrate:
- an individual action in small claims court for a Dispute that qualifies; and
- a claim for injunctive or other equitable relief to stop actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s intellectual-property or confidentiality rights.
5. Severability
If any part of this Addendum other than the class-action waiver in §2 is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular Dispute, §2 explains what happens to that Dispute specifically.
