Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. CASTIQ may immediately suspend or terminate User access for breach of Terms, non-payment, or violation of applicable laws. Upon termination, User's access rights cease immediately, but obligations regarding confidentiality, indemnification, and limitation of liability survive.
These Terms are governed by Delaware law without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in Delaware. Users waive rights to jury trial and class action participation.
