The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to the TOS.
(a) ALL CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (DEFINED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE TOS AS A COURT OF LIMITED JURISDICTION THAT MAY ONLY HEAR CLAIMS NOT EXCEEDING $5,000) IF YOUR CLAIMS ARE WITHIN THE COURT’S JURISDICTION.

The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and Jovio concerning your access to and use of the Service. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and Jovio with respect to such subject matter. The TOS may not be amended by you except in a writing executed by you and an authorized representative of Jovio. For the purposes of the TOS, the words “such as,” “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” You may not assign or delegate any right or obligation under the TOS without the prior written consent of Jovio. The failure of Jovio to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this TOS is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of the TOS. Any prevention of or delay in performance by Jovio hereunder due to labor disputes, acts of god, governmental restrictions, enemy or hostile governmental action, fire or other casualty or other causes beyond its reasonable control shall excuse the performance of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of any such prevention or delay.
