These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter.

The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of these Terms by the other Party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by the other Party.
Soursop Nutrition may modify these Terms at any time and its sole discretion. These modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the amount of compensation, rate of commission fees, fee schedules, payment procedures, etc. If any of the modifications are unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate your relationship with Soursop Nutrition.

Subject to the “Arbitration Agreement” provisions below, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions. To the extent that your agreement to arbitrate is not deemed to apply, you expressly agree and personally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of New York to adjudicate and resolve any dispute with Soursop Nutrition, its affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors, telecommunication providers and content providers or in any other way relating to the website, including, content or user content. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO CLAIM THAT THE STATE OF NEW YORK IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO HEAR CLAIMS AND DISPUTES.
Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the Platform, these Terms or the Products will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. Also, this Arbitration Agreement will not preclude any action for injunctive relief in aid of arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement applies to any dispute or claim between the parties and/or their parents, subsidiaries, employees, agents, officers, or owners (who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this provision). The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Arbitration Agreement.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator, rather than by a judge or jury. The arbitrator can only award on an individual basis and must rely on these Terms of Service. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and conducted under AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the "AAA Rules") then in effect at the time of the dispute. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Either party may initiate arbitration by providing written notice to the other party and filing a demand with the AAA. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees to the AAA for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. You do not have the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any claim submitted to arbitration. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims against a party and may not preside over any kind of representative or class proceeding. You acknowledge that this class action waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is non-severable from the agreement to arbitrate claims. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY USED THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES AND YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOREGOING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST TELL US IN WRITING AND STOP USING THE SITE, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
Each Party agrees to do all such acts, matters and things and shall sign or execute and deliver all such documents as may in the reasonable opinion of the other Party be necessary or expedient to further and more effectually carry into effect the provisions of these Terms.
