                14. GOVERNING LAW
                
                These conditions are governed by and interpreted following the laws of the United Kingdom, and the use of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. If your habitual residence is in the EU, and you are a consumer, you additionally possess the protection provided to you by obligatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. Silicon Foundry and yourself both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of United Kingdom, which means that you may make a claim to defend your consumer protection rights in regards to these Terms of Use in the United Kingdom.
                
                15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
                
                Informal Negotiations

Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
                
                Binding Arbitration
                
                Any dispute arising from the relationships between the Parties to this contract shall be determined by one arbitrator who will be chosen in accordance with the Arbitration and Internal Rules of the European Court of Arbitration being part of the European Centre of Arbitration having its seat in Strasbourg, and which are in force at the time the application for arbitration is filed, and of which adoption of this clause constitutes acceptance. The seat of arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom. The language of the proceedings shall be English. Applicable rules of substantive law shall be the law of the United Kingdom.
