The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any action to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights or any other action related to the Services or these Terms, will be the state and federal courts located in Seattle, Washington and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you and Hey Mentor are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
