You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our third-party developers and partners, including their respective employees, contractors, officers, directors, and agents from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including attorney's fees, which arise from your use or misuse of the Game. We and our affiliates, third-party developers, and partners reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
12. RESOLVING DISPUTES
Good Faith Attempt. You agree that in the event of a dispute between you and tinyBuild or our affiliates, third-party developers, or partners, you will make a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days before initiating arbitration. Binding Arbitration is defined and provided in our TOU. In case of any conflict between this Agreement and the TOU, the provisions of the TOU shall prevail.
Negotiation and Arbitration. If you and tinyBuild cannot resolve a dispute through informal negotiations within 30 days after receiving a notice of dispute, both parties agree to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement or the Game through binding arbitration, following the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will take place in King County, Washington. This informal, good faith negotiation will commence upon receipt of written notice from you, provided also that your notice includes your full name and address (as the complaining party); the nature and basis of your claim or dispute sufficiently detailed; and the specific relief you seek.
Individual Arbitration and Relief. Claims or controversies will be arbitrated individually. The arbitrator cannot alter the terms of this Agreement and may award equitable relief to enforce its terms, provided that it does not interfere with tinyBuild's rights or ability to distribute or exploit the Game. We each further agree that any arbitration or other cause of action related to this Agreement will be conducted in our individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and we each expressly waive our right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.
Court Proceedings and Applicable Law. If a court determines that a claim or controversy cannot be settled by arbitration, both parties agree to bring and maintain such claims in state and federal courts located within King County, Washington. The prevailing party in any action to enforce this Agreement may recover costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees. In connection with any dispute between us, whether in arbitration or otherwise, this Agreement shall be interpreted and bound by the laws of the state of Washington and United States federal law. We each irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or federal courts in King County, Washington to resolve any claims that are subject to exceptions to the arbitration agreement.
Infringement Claims. tinyBuild has the right, but not the obligation, to defend or settle any action or proceeding arising from a claim that your permitted use of the Game infringes or misappropriates any patent, copyright, or other ownership of a third party. All notices of such claims must be sent to tinyBuild within ten (10) business days of your first knowledge of the alleged infringement.
Remedies for Infringement. In the event of such a claim, or if tinyBuild believes a claim is likely, tinyBuild may:
- procure for you the right to continue using the Game;
- modify the Game to become non-infringing; or
- terminate this Agreement.
You agree to comply with any court judgment or other conditions imposed on you or tinyBuild due to an allegation of patent or copyright infringement, even if such judgment or conditions contradict this Agreement's conditions, including ceasing use of the Game.

You acknowledge that you have entered into this Agreement based solely on the representations, warranties, and promises expressly set forth herein.
