Judicial forum for disputes – In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Kami agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the courts of New Zealand.

If any part of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, in conflict with any law, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
