Last updated: 01.05.2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the 982x and 982 memberships and the associated website, application, community platform, and digital services (together, the "Services") offered by 982x LLC.

By creating an account, purchasing a membership, or otherwise using the Services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, that you are lawfully able to enter into binding contracts in your country of residence, and that you agree to be bound by these Terms.

These Terms form a binding contract between you and 982x LLC. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not create an account, purchase a membership, or use any Services.

2. About 982x LLC

982x LLC is a Wyoming limited liability company.

Registered address: 30N Gould St, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, USA.

982x LLC owns and operates 982x (base membership) and 982 (inner circle membership), together referred to as the Services in these Terms.

Trips offered to 982 members are organised by a separate company under separate contractual terms. See Section 14.

3. Definitions

For these Terms:

  • "Member" means an individual who has purchased a 982x or 982 membership.

  • "982x" means the base membership tier offered at the price set in Section 5.

  • "982" or "982 Inner Circle" means the upper membership tier offered at the price set in Section 5, subject to capacity limits set in Section 5.2.

  • "Membership Cycle" means the 12-month period during which your membership is active, beginning on the relevant signup or upgrade date.

  • "Member Content" means any content a Member posts, uploads, or shares within the Services, including text, images, comments, deal flow, advice, and recordings.

  • "Members Contract" means the separate contractual document containing the 982 Code of Conduct, confidentiality, non-solicitation, and other binding commitments incorporated into these Terms by reference.

  • "Account" means a Member's individual login and profile within the Services.

  • "Trip Provider" means the third-party company organising trips offered to 982 members. For 2026, this is Barletta Digital. The Trip Provider for subsequent years will be communicated in advance.

  • "Site" means the 982 website and application.

4. Eligibility
4.1 Age

You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a membership and use the Services. By accepting these Terms, you represent that you are at least 18 years old.

4.2 Geographic restrictions and sanctions

Membership is offered only to individuals lawfully able to receive services from a US company. You may not purchase a membership or use the Services if you are:

  • A resident or citizen of any country or region subject to comprehensive US sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), or any other jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions at the time of purchase.

  • A person, or affiliated with a person, on the US Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, the US Department of Commerce's Entity List, or any equivalent sanctions list maintained by the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other competent authorities.

982x LLC reserves the right to refuse membership or terminate an existing membership at any time if it determines, at its sole discretion, that providing services to you would create a sanctions compliance risk. No refund is owed in such cases.

4.3 Account integrity

Memberships are personal to the Member and non-transferable. You may not share, sell, lend, or otherwise transfer your Account or membership rights to another person. Any violation is grounds for immediate termination without refund.

4.4 Business use representation

Membership in 982x and 982 is offered as a business membership intended for individuals acting in the course of their professional activities. By accepting these Terms, you represent that:

  • You are purchasing this membership in connection with your business, trade, or profession.

  • The benefits of membership (including networking, deal flow, partner introductions, professional content, peer learning, and business development opportunities) are sought for professional purposes.

  • Where you are resident in an EU member state and hold a valid VAT identification number, you will provide it at signup. Members without a registered VAT ID confirm they are nonetheless purchasing the membership for business purposes.

  • Where you are resident in the United Kingdom and hold a valid VAT number, the equivalent representation applies.

982x LLC relies on this representation for VAT classification purposes. Material misrepresentation may result in termination without refund and liability for back-VAT plus any associated penalties incurred by 982x LLC.

4.5 Application and acceptance

Purchase of a 982x or 982 membership is an application to join, not an immediate contract of membership. 982x LLC reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without obligation to provide a reason, to accept or reject any application. Where an application is rejected, 982x LLC will refund the full amount paid within 14 days. No fees, costs, or damages are owed to the applicant in connection with a rejection. The contract of membership is formed only when 982x LLC accepts the application and grants account access.

4.6 Accuracy of information

By submitting an application and during your membership, you represent and warrant that all information you provide to 982x LLC (including your identity, profession, business activities, business type, public profile, and any other information requested at application or during membership) is true, accurate, and complete. You agree to update 982x LLC promptly if any material information changes.

Material misrepresentation, omission of material information, or material change in circumstances that goes undisclosed is a ground for immediate termination of your membership under Section 15.1, with no refund. Information is considered material if, had it been accurately disclosed at application, it would have caused 982x LLC to reject the application, or if it concerns the nature of your business activities and conflicts with the description provided at application.

982x LLC has sole discretion to determine whether a misrepresentation or omission is material.

5. Memberships and pricing
5.1 982x

  • Admission: by invitation only, at the sole discretion of 982x LLC. See Section 7.

  • What is included: everything in 982x, plus access to the 982 Inner Circle chat, eligibility to book trips through the Trip Provider, close circle calls, live keynote sessions, hot-seat sessions, podcast appearance opportunities, and the right to sponsor up to five (5) new 982x applicants per Membership Cycle with guaranteed admission, subject to those applicants meeting all eligibility requirements in Section 4. The 982 fee includes 982x access; no separate 982x fee is charged in parallel.

5.3 Benefits subject to availability

The specific benefits described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 are subject to change, withdrawal, or substitution at 982x LLC's discretion. 982x LLC does not warrant that any specific benefit, event, partner, or feature will be available throughout your Membership Cycle. Where a material benefit is permanently withdrawn, 982x LLC will use reasonable efforts to offer a substitute of comparable value.

5.4 Partner commissions

982x LLC may receive commissions from selected partners offering services to members. These commissions can range up to thirty percent (30%) of the partner's revenue. This is disclosed transparently. Commissions do not affect which partners 982x LLC recommends or features.

5.5 Price changes

982x LLC reserves the right to modify membership fees with at least 60 days' written notice to existing members. Updated fees apply at the member's next renewal cycle. Members may decline to renew at the new price by giving notice before their renewal date. Members do not have a lifetime price-lock guarantee.

5.6 Promotional pricing

982x LLC may offer promotional, founding member, or early bird pricing from time to time. Such promotional rates apply only to the initial Membership Cycle stated at signup. Renewal will occur at the then-current standard price unless a written extension is agreed in advance.

6. Payment terms
6.1 Payment options summary

982x:

  • (a) Annual: EUR 1,000 paid in full at signup.

  • (b) Monthly: EUR 1,200 total, paid as EUR 100 in advance each month for 12 months.

982 Inner Circle:

  • Annual: EUR 3,000 paid in full at upgrade.

The monthly option (b) for 982x is a 12-month commitment. Missed monthly payments are subject to Section 6.5 and constitute breach of the membership agreement. 982 Inner Circle is upfront only; no monthly payment option is offered.



6.2 Currency

All prices are stated in EUR. For members paying in another currency, conversion occurs at the rate provided by the payment processor at the point of sale.

6.3 Taxes and VAT

Membership fees stated in these Terms are exclusive of VAT, sales tax, or other applicable taxes, which are calculated and added at checkout based on the member's country of residence and VAT status:

  • EU and UK members with a valid VAT ID: Where you provide a valid VAT ID at signup and the membership is purchased for business purposes (per Section 4.4), the EU reverse charge mechanism applies. No VAT is charged by 982x LLC. You are responsible for accounting for VAT in your own jurisdiction.

  • EU and UK members without a valid VAT ID: VAT is charged at the applicable rate for your country of residence and remitted by 982x LLC through its EU One Stop Shop (OSS) and UK VAT registrations.

  • US members: Sales tax is charged where applicable based on the state of residence and 982x LLC's economic nexus position in that state.

  • Members in other jurisdictions: Applicable taxes are calculated at checkout based on local rules.

The member is responsible for any personal taxes (income, withholding, or otherwise) arising from any benefits received through the membership. See Section 21.

6.4 Payment methods and processor

Payment is processed through a third-party payment processor selected by 982x LLC. The processor handles card and bank-transfer payments and calculates applicable taxes at checkout. 982x LLC remains the seller of record for all transactions. The member may be required to accept the payment processor's own terms of service at checkout, which govern the technical handling of the payment but do not affect the binding contract between you and 982x LLC.

6.5 Failed or late payment

Where a payment fails, is reversed, or is not received by the due date, the following process applies:

Phase 1 — Grace period (Days 1 to 21):

  • The payment processor automatically retries the failed payment.

  • The member is notified by email and given the opportunity to update payment details.

  • The member retains full access to the Services during this phase.

Phase 2 — Suspension (Days 22 to 45):

  • Access to all Services is suspended.

  • Membership status is preserved (membership is not yet terminated).

  • The member receives a final notice by email and may reinstate access by paying the outstanding amount in full.

Phase 3 — Termination (Day 46 and beyond):

  • The membership is terminated for cause.

  • For monthly-payment members, the remaining unpaid balance of the 12-month commitment becomes immediately due and payable as liquidated damages.

  • 982x LLC may pursue collection through standard legal means (collection agencies, small claims, civil suit) and may recover all reasonable costs of collection, including legal fees.

  • The member is permanently barred from future membership in 982x or 982.

Reinstatement of a terminated membership is at 982x LLC's sole discretion and, where granted, requires payment of all outstanding amounts plus a EUR 100 reinstatement fee.

6.6 982x fee not refunded on upgrade

The EUR 1,000 (or proportional amount paid on the monthly plan) for 982x membership is consumed at the point of purchase. If you are subsequently invited to join 982 Inner Circle, the EUR 3,000 upgrade fee is payable in full. No portion of your 982x fee is credited toward the 982 fee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 982x LLC may, at its sole discretion, credit all or part of a recent 982x payment toward the 982 fee in cases where the upgrade invitation occurs within a short period after the original 982x signup. Any such credit is a one-time discretionary decision, does not establish a right or precedent, and does not bind 982x LLC in future cases.

7. Promotion from 982x to 982 Inner Circle

  • Admission to 982 Inner Circle is by invitation only.

  • 982x LLC contacts eligible members quarterly to extend invitations.

  • The criteria used to extend invitations are at 982x LLC's sole discretion.

  • 982x LLC is under no obligation to invite any specific member.

  • An invitation, once issued, expires 14 days from the date of issue unless a different timeframe is specified in the invitation. Payment of the EUR 3,000 upgrade fee within that period is required to accept.

  • The decision to accept an invitation is at the member's discretion.

  • Members upgrading mid-quarter receive immediate access to 982 Inner Circle. The member is assigned to the next quarterly cohort (1 January, 1 April, 1 July, or 1 October following the upgrade), and the 12-month Membership Cycle runs from that cohort date. Any access granted between the upgrade date and the next cohort date is an additional benefit and does not extend the cycle.

8. Renewal
8.1 982x renewal

  • 982x runs on a 12-month rolling cycle from the individual member's signup date.

  • 982x LLC offers renewal to all members in good standing no later than 30 days before expiry.

  • Renewal may be set to occur automatically at the member's option. Otherwise, renewal is by member action.

  • If 982x LLC fails to offer renewal at least 30 days before expiry, membership continues at the then-current rate without interruption unless the member gives notice to the contrary.

8.2 982 Inner Circle renewal

  • 982 runs on a quarterly cohort cycle aligned with 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, and 1 October.

  • 982x LLC offers renewal no later than 30 days before the member's cycle expires.

  • Renewal of 982 Inner Circle is not automatic and is at the sole discretion of 982x LLC.

8.3 Non-renewal of 982 Inner Circle

A 982 Inner Circle member who is not renewed will be offered one of the following outcomes, at 982x LLC's sole discretion:

  • (a) Continued membership at the 982x tier at the then-current 982x rate, with no refund of any portion of the 982 fee paid; or

  • (b) Full termination of membership, with no refund of any portion of the 982 fee paid.

The member does not have a right to either outcome. 982x LLC chooses based on the circumstances of the non-renewal.

Reasons a member may not be renewed include misalignment with the 982 standards, sustained inactivity, breach of the Members Contract or these Terms, or any other reason at 982x LLC's discretion.

9. No refunds
9.1 Membership fees are non-refundable

All membership fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, including but not limited to:

  • Voluntary cancellation by the member at any point during the Membership Cycle.

  • Non-renewal of 982 Inner Circle membership by 982x LLC.

  • Termination of membership for breach of these Terms or the Members Contract.

  • Member dissatisfaction with the Services.

  • Member changes in personal circumstances.

This applies to both 982x fees (EUR 1,000 annual or EUR 1,200 monthly plan) and the EUR 3,000 982 fee.

9.2 Reason for the no-refund policy

982x LLC delivers digital and community services immediately upon signup. From day one, members access the community platform, application, content library, member directory, scheduled events, partner offers, and the deals platform. The Services are consumed continuously throughout the Membership Cycle. The no-refund policy reflects this immediate and continuous delivery.

9.3 Discretionary credit in exceptional circumstances

Notwithstanding Section 9.1, 982x LLC may, at its sole discretion, offer a discretionary credit or partial refund in exceptional circumstances (such as serious illness, bereavement, or other humanitarian grounds). Any such offer is a one-time discretionary decision, does not establish a right to refund, and does not bind 982x LLC in future similar cases.

9.4 Members Contract reference

Breach of the Members Contract (containing the Code of Conduct, confidentiality, non-solicitation, and other binding member commitments) is a ground for immediate termination of membership without refund. The Members Contract is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. Consumer rights
10.1 For members resident in the European Union

The 14-day right of withdrawal under the EU Consumer Rights Directive does not apply once digital services have begun to be delivered with the consumer's express consent. Members purchasing the membership in the course of their business (per Section 4.4) are not consumers under the Directive in any event. This section applies only to members not acting in the course of their business.

By accepting these Terms, you (where you are a consumer):

  • Expressly request that 982x LLC begin delivery of digital services immediately upon payment.

  • Acknowledge that performance of the Services has commenced.

  • Expressly waive your right of withdrawal under Article 16(m) of EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU and any equivalent national implementation, including §356(5) BGB for German consumers.

  • Acknowledge that no refund will be issued.

This waiver is presented as a separate, explicit acknowledgment at signup and must be confirmed by an action separate from the general acceptance of these Terms.

10.2 For members resident in the United Kingdom

The 14-day right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 does not apply once digital services have begun to be supplied with the consumer's express consent. Members purchasing the membership in the course of their business (per Section 4.4) are not consumers under those Regulations in any event. This section applies only to members not acting in the course of their business.

By accepting these Terms, you (where you are a consumer):

  • Expressly request that 982x LLC begin supply of digital services immediately upon payment.

  • Acknowledge that you understand you will lose your right of cancellation once supply has begun.

  • Expressly waive your right of cancellation under Regulation 37 of the 2013 Regulations.

10.3 For members resident in the United States

US federal law does not provide an automatic right of withdrawal for digital services. By purchasing a 982x or 982 membership, you consent to immediate access to digital services and acknowledge that membership fees are non-refundable as set out in Section 9. Where individual US state law provides specific cooling-off rights, those rights apply to the extent they cannot be excluded by contract.

10.4 For members resident in other jurisdictions

Where local consumer protection law provides a right of withdrawal or cancellation, you expressly waive that right to the extent permitted by law, on the same basis as set out above.

11. Chargebacks
11.1 Express acknowledgment

By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that the Services are delivered immediately upon payment, that you have authorized the charge, and that you have waived any applicable consumer right of withdrawal under Section 10.

11.2 No-chargeback undertaking

You agree not to initiate a chargeback, dispute, or reversal with your card issuer, bank, or payment provider for any 982x LLC transaction, except in cases of unauthorized use of your card resulting from theft, fraud, or unauthorized account access.

11.3 Consequences of a wrongful chargeback

Initiating a chargeback for a transaction you authorized constitutes a material breach of these Terms. Consequences include:

  • Immediate termination of your membership with no refund.

  • Liability for chargeback fees, processing costs, and any administrative costs incurred by 982x LLC.

  • Liquidated damages equal to the disputed transaction amount, recoverable from you.

  • A permanent prohibition on future membership in 982x or 982.

  • Potential blacklisting with 982x LLC's payment processor.

11.4 Dispute resolution before chargeback

If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact 982x LLC at the address in Section 28 before initiating any chargeback. 982x LLC will investigate and respond within 14 days. Initiating a chargeback while a dispute is under review is also a material breach.

12. Member Content
12.1 Member ownership

You retain ownership of any content you post within the Services ("Member Content").

12.2 License granted to 982x LLC

By posting Member Content within the Services, you grant 982x LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, store, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute that Member Content for the purposes of:

  • Operating and providing the Services to other members.

  • Promoting 982 and 982x in non-personal, anonymised or aggregated form.

  • Preserving the Services' archive of historical content.

This licence continues for the duration of your membership and survives termination to the extent necessary to operate the historical archive.

12.3 Member responsibility for content

You are solely responsible for the Member Content you post. You represent and warrant that:

  • You have all necessary rights to post the Member Content.

  • The Member Content does not infringe any third-party rights.

  • The Member Content complies with applicable laws and the Members Contract.

982x LLC may remove any Member Content at its discretion if it determines the content breaches these Terms, the Members Contract, or applicable law.

13. Website and Account use
13.1 Permitted use

The Site is for the personal use of members and prospective members. You may not:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful purpose.

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site.

  • Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access content without prior written permission.

  • Use the Site or any Member Content for training artificial intelligence, machine learning, or large language models without prior written permission.

  • Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit any content from the Site.

13.2 Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify 982x LLC immediately of any unauthorized access to your account. Sharing your Account is grounds for immediate termination (Section 4.3).

14. Trips
Trip bookings are not part of these Terms and are not provided by 982x LLC.

Eligibility to book trips is a benefit of 982 Inner Circle membership. The trips themselves are organised and contracted separately by the Trip Provider. Each trip booking is a separate contract between the member and the Trip Provider, subject to that Trip Provider's own terms.

Trip allocation rights are eligibility to book, not a guarantee of any specific trip, date, or availability. Failure of a trip to occur, cancellation of a trip, or any dispute about a trip is solely between the member and the Trip Provider.

For 2026 trips, the applicable terms are the 2026 Trip Allocation Terms published at unlocking982.com/2026-trip-terms by Barletta Digital. For future years, the relevant Trip Provider and its terms will be communicated to members in advance of allocation.

982x LLC is not a party to any trip contract and has no liability for the provision of trips, including but not limited to cancellation, delivery, safety, refunds, or disputes arising from a trip.

15. Membership termination
15.1 Termination for cause

982x LLC may terminate your membership immediately, with no refund, for:

  • Material breach of these Terms.

  • Material breach of the Members Contract, including but not limited to breach of confidentiality (NDA), violation of non-solicitation or non-poaching provisions, violation of the Code of Conduct, or any other breach designated as material under the Members Contract.

  • Initiation of a wrongful chargeback (Section 11).

  • Behaviour that endangers other members or the operation of the Services.

  • Failure to pay fees when due (Section 6.5).

  • Sanctions or eligibility issues under Section 4.

  • Material misrepresentation of business use under Section 4.4 where this results in tax liability to 982x LLC.

  • Material misrepresentation or material omission of information provided to 982x LLC under Section 4.6.

15.2 Non-renewal

982x LLC may choose not to renew any membership at the end of its cycle, in line with Section 8. Non-renewal is not a termination for cause.

15.3 Effect of termination

Upon termination:

  • Access to all 982x LLC Services ends immediately.

  • For monthly-payment members terminated for cause, the remaining unpaid balance of the 12-month commitment becomes immediately due (Section 6.5).

  • Confidentiality and other surviving obligations under the Members Contract continue to apply.

  • The licence granted in Section 12.2 survives to the extent necessary to operate the historical archive.

  • No refund of fees paid is owed.

  • Any trip credit issued by the Trip Provider remains subject to that Trip Provider's own terms and is not affected by these Terms.

15.4 Re-application after termination

Members terminated for cause under Section 15.1 are permanently barred from future membership in 982x or 982. Members who voluntarily cancelled or were not renewed under Section 15.2 may re-apply, subject to 982x LLC's discretion.

16. Intellectual property

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, images, recordings, and software, is the property of 982x LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the content for personal, non-commercial purposes during your active membership. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or publicly display any content without prior written permission.

Member Content is governed separately by Section 12.

17. Force majeure

982x LLC is not liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, government action, labour disputes, infrastructure or platform outages, internet failures, or any other force majeure event.

In the event of a prolonged force majeure event materially affecting the Services, 982x LLC may, at its discretion:

  • Suspend or modify the Services.

  • Extend the affected Membership Cycle by a reasonable period.

  • Substitute affected benefits with comparable alternatives.

No refund is owed solely on the basis of a force majeure event.

18. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • 982x LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Services.

  • The total liability of 982x LLC to any member for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms is limited to the amount paid by that member to 982x LLC in the 12 months preceding the claim.

  • 982x LLC is not liable for any matter arising out of trips, which are governed by separate terms with the Trip Provider (Section 14).

  • 982x LLC is not liable for Member Content posted by other members.

  • Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by applicable law.

19. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 982x LLC, its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your breach of these Terms or the Members Contract.

  • Your Member Content.

  • Your interactions with other members.

  • Your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

  • Your use of the Services in a manner not permitted by these Terms.

20. Not a security, not an employment relationship
20.1 Not an investment or security

Membership in 982x or 982, including any rights to refer new members, sponsor applicants, participate in member calls or events, or access future programs, does not constitute a security, an investment, or a right to financial returns. Membership is a personal right to access the Services and does not entitle the member to any equity, dividends, revenue share, or financial interest in 982x LLC or its affiliates.

20.2 Future programs

Where 982x LLC announces future programs (including but not limited to investment, accelerator, or syndicate offerings), those programs will be governed by separate legal documents and may require additional eligibility (such as accredited investor status). Membership in 982x or 982 does not automatically grant participation in such future programs.

20.3 No employment relationship

Members are not employees, contractors, agents, partners, or joint venturers of 982x LLC. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, or partnership relationship.

21. Tax responsibility

The member is solely responsible for any personal tax obligations arising from membership, including but not limited to income tax on any in-kind benefits received, gift tax on merchandise or hospitality, accounting for VAT under the reverse charge mechanism where applicable (Section 6.3), and any other tax matters related to participation in the Services. 982x LLC is not liable for any tax advice or tax outcome experienced by the member.

22. Members Contract

By becoming a member, you also agree to the separate Members Contract, which contains:

  • The 982 Code of Conduct.

  • Confidentiality obligations.

  • Non-solicitation and non-poaching commitments.

  • Conduct standards applicable in member spaces.

  • Grounds for removal and consequences of breach.

The Members Contract is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Breach of the Members Contract is a ground for immediate termination of membership under Section 15.

23. Privacy and data

Your personal data is processed in line with the 982 Privacy Policy, available at 982x.com/privacy-policy. By using the Services, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy.

24. Dispute resolution
24.1 Informal resolution first

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to contact 982x LLC at the address in Section 28 to attempt to resolve the matter informally. 982x LLC will respond within 30 days.

24.2 Binding arbitration for US members

For members resident in the United States, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted in Sheridan County, Wyoming, or by video conference at the arbitrator's discretion. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding.

24.3 Class action waiver for US members

For members resident in the United States, you and 982x LLC each waive any right to participate in a class action, collective action, or representative action against the other. Disputes must be brought individually.

24.4 Court resolution for non-US members

For members not resident in the United States, disputes are subject to the jurisdiction specified in Section 26, subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights in the member's country of residence.

25. Notices
