You will defend, indemnify, and hold Vaidya harmless from any third-party claim, loss, damage, or reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of or relating to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of applicable law; (c) your unauthorized use of the Service; or (d) the content of any data you upload, including any claim that you were not authorized to upload it.
11.2 By us
We will defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless from any third-party claim alleging that the Service, as provided by us and used in accordance with these Terms, infringes a U.S. patent, copyright, or trademark, provided you promptly notify us of the claim, give us sole control of the defense, and reasonably cooperate. If the Service becomes the subject of an infringement claim, we may, at our option, modify the Service to be non-infringing, obtain a license that allows continued use, or terminate your access and refund pro-rated unused fees.
11.3 Procedures
The indemnified party will promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim. Failure to give prompt notice does not relieve the indemnifying party except to the extent it is materially prejudiced.
12. Term and Termination
12.1 Term
These Terms apply from the date you accept them until terminated as set forth in this Section.
12.2 Termination for breach
Either party may terminate these Terms upon thirty (30) days' written notice if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure the breach within the notice period.

13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
13.1 Informal resolution
Before initiating any formal proceeding, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation, beginning with written notice describing the dispute and a proposed resolution.
13.2 Binding arbitration
If informal resolution fails after thirty (30) days, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

13.3 No class actions
The parties waive any right to bring or participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. Each party may bring claims only on an individual basis.
13.4 Arbitration costs
The parties will share the AAA's administrative fees equally, except that we will pay your share of fees if you can demonstrate that paying them would be cost-prohibitive. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees, except as required by law.
13.5 Equitable relief
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek temporary equitable relief (such as a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
13.6 Opt-out
You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to contact@aaryainnovations.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
