CONTROLLING LAW; JURISDICTION
The validity, construction and enforceability of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Minnesota, and the parties expressly agree that any dispute requiring resolution by a court shall be subject to the exclusive venue and jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving Dakota County, Minnesota.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any dispute or claim arising under or in any way related to these Terms and Conditions, with the exception of recovery by Heyven of any unpaid amounts from you (which may be recovered by Heyven via collections, small claims court action, or any other legal remedy available to Heyven), shall be submitted to neutral, non-binding mediation prior to the commencement of arbitration or any other proceeding before a trier of fact. The parties to the dispute or claim agree to act in good faith to participate in mediation, and to identify a mutually acceptable mediator in Dakota County, Minnesota. All parties to the mediation shall share equally in its cost. If the dispute or claim is resolved successfully through the mediation, the resolution will be documented by a written agreement executed by all parties. If the mediation does not successfully resolve the dispute or claim, the mediator shall provide written notice to the parties reflecting the same, and the parties may then proceed to seek an alternative form of resolution of the dispute or claim, as they wish. In the event that Heyven chooses or is forced to pursue any form of collections or legal action to enforce the Terms, you accept responsibility for all costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
NO CLASS ACTIONS

SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed and enforced as so limited.
WAIVER
The failure or delay by Heyven to enforce or exercise any provisions of these Terms shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions within these Terms. Furthermore, any waiver or breach of any provision of these Terms shall not amount to a waiver of any other provision.
SURVIVAL
The provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination of your use of our service, including sections on Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties, Limitations of Our Liability, Indemnification, and Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief will survive.
