Dispute Resolution
We want to resolve disputes fairly and efficiently. If a dispute arises between you and CreateCV.io, please try to resolve it informally by contacting us at [email protected] first.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Binding Arbitration
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally within 30 days, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English, and the arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.
Class Action Waiver
You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis only, not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
Exceptions
The following are exempt from the arbitration requirement:
- Claims that qualify for small claims court in your jurisdiction
- Actions to obtain injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm
- Disputes where mandatory local law requires a different dispute resolution mechanism (for example, EU consumers may always bring claims in their local courts)

Surviving Provisions: The following sections survive termination of your account or these Terms: User Content & Ownership, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive.
