The language of the arbitral proceedings will be English. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including attorneys’ fees when authorized by Law, and the arbitral decision may be enforced in court.
Delegation. The arbitrator will have the power to hear and determine challenges to their jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the arbitration agreement. This authority extends to jurisdictional challenges with respect to both the subject matter of the dispute and the parties to the arbitration. Any challenges to the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, except challenges based on the award itself, will be made not later than the notice of defense or, with respect to a counterclaim, the reply to the counterclaim; provided , however , that if a claim or counterclaim is later added or amended such a challenge may be made not later than the response to such claim or counterclaim as provided under IAC Rules .

No adjudicator may consolidate or join more than one Person’s or Party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding.
Confidentiality. You and LLH and any other arbitration parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by Law or judicial decision.
Jury trial waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive all right to trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding of any kind whatsoever arising out of or relating to these Terms or any breach thereof, any use or attempted use of the Site Services by you, and/or any other matter involving the user and LLH.

Nothing herein, including the provision of Site Services, shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship or association between you and any of LLH or its Associates. No Party shall have any right, power or authority to enter into any agreement or undertaking for or act on behalf of, or to act as or be an agent or representative of, or to otherwise bind, the other Party. In providing the Site Services, LLH is acting as a service provider, and not an agent, of the Eligible User, any recipient or any other Person.
No Waiver; Available Remedies. Any failure by LLH to exercise any of its rights, powers, or remedies under these Terms, or any delay by LLH in doing so, does not constitute a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy. The single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy by LLH does not prevent either from exercising any other rights, powers, or remedies. The remedies of LLH are cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred by the provisions of these Terms, or by law or equity.

What We Can Technically Do
We can deny services to persons based on their wallet address.
We can also block withdrawals being made from our platform.
