We've updated our Terms of Service — effective 28 March 2026

The Linea Consortium ("Linea", "we," "us," or "our") hosts a top level domain website, available at https://linea.build and related sub-domains (the top level domain together with the sub-domains collectively referred herein as the "Site"). The Site contains the Linea Interface ("Interface") and information regarding the Linea Protocol ("Protocol") and other Linea products and services (such information, together with the Interface and the Site, the "Offerings"), which also include text, images, audio, code and other materials or third party information. These Terms of Use (this "Agreement") contain the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Site and Offerings provided by us and is a binding agreement between us and you or the entity you represent ("you" or "your"). Please read this Agreement carefully before using the Site or Offerings. They cover important information about each of the Offerings, your rights under this agreement, and all future changes to this Agreement. They require that you accept all the risks associated with using the Offerings, which are experimental in nature. We reserve the right to change this Agreement at any time.

NEITHER LINEA NOR OUR OFFERINGS GIVE, OFFER, OR RENDER INVESTMENT, TAX, OR LEGAL ADVICE. LINEA PROVIDES SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO MANAGE YOUR SELF-CUSTODIED SOFTWARE WALLETS AND OTHERWISE WRITE TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BE EXECUTED ON BLOCKCHAINS AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. BEFORE MAKING FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT DECISIONS, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONTACT AN INVESTMENT ADVISOR, OR TAX OR LEGAL PROFESSIONAL.

SECTION 11 CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LINEA. AMONG OTHER THINGS, SECTION 11 INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WHICH REQUIRES, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION.

UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11: (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION; AND (2) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

1. Use Subject to this Agreement

    1.1. You agree that your use of any Offerings shall be deemed your agreement in full to this Agreement and also our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. We grant you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to access the Offerings, subject to this Agreement, as well as all information and materials published, distributed or otherwise made available on the Site. You agree not to use these Offerings in a manner which is fraudulent or violative of applicable laws, including securities laws, investor and consumer protection laws, privacy laws, intellectual property rights, or laws prohibiting money laundering or other illicit finance.

    1.2. The Interface. The Interface is a graphical user interface allowing users to interact with the Protocol and other Third Party Services, but the Interface is not required to interact with the Protocol or such Third Party Services. The Interface itself is subject to many risks, including the Interface domain becoming compromised. Bridging is an extremely novel technical area and is subject to material risks which may lead to total loss of user assets. All bridge interfaces, including the Interface, are subject to many known and unknown risks. You are not required to use the Interface, nor are we advising you in any way to use the Interface. The Interface is made available by us "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS", and you accept all risks associated with using the Interface.

    1.3. Support. You may seek or receive technical or product support, information, advice, or guidance from us regarding the Offerings, including via third party service provider, chat interface, or email. All support made available or provided by or on behalf of Linea is believed to be reliable, but we do not make representations or warranties, express or implied, as to its accuracy, its completeness, or the results to be obtained. Such support is being provided for informational purposes only and, by accepting such support, you are representing that you have adequate skill and experience regarding the proper selection, use, and/or application of Offerings and use such Offerings at your own discretion and risk. You agree to hold harmless Linea for any injury that may result from the support you receive from us. You are aware that our customer support efforts may be impersonated by malicious third parties, and you agree that we are not responsible for the actions of such impersonators. You further expressly acknowledge that we will not offer support via SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, or Twitter DMs, and that we will never ask you for your private key or secret recovery phrase or for you to make a payment to us for support.

    1.4. Open Source Software. You acknowledge and agree that the Offerings may use, incorporate or link to certain software made available under an "open-source" or "free" license ("OSS" or "OSS License", as applicable), and that your use of the Offerings is subject to, and you agree to comply with, any applicable OSS Licenses. Each item of OSS is licensed under the terms of the end-user license that accompanies such OSS. Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the OSS.

2. Third-Party Content and Services

    2.1. Third-Party Content and Services. Certain Offerings and content, functionality, products, or services that you may view, have access to, and/or use through the Site may contain content, functionality, products, or services of one or more third parties ("Third Party Content" or "Third Party Services" as appropriate). In each such case, you agree that you view, access or use such content and services at your own election and at your own risk. Your reliance on any Third Party Content and use of Third Party Services is subject to separate terms and conditions set forth by the applicable third party who provides such Third Party Services. Those terms and conditions may involve separate fees and charges or may include disclaimers or risk warnings about reliance on or the accuracy of any information. Such terms may also apply a privacy policy different than that which Linea maintains and incorporates into this Agreement. It is your responsibility to understand the terms and conditions of Third Party Services, including how those service providers use any of your information under their privacy policies.

    2.2. Third Party Content and Third Party Services are provided for your convenience only. We do not verify, curate, or control Third Party Content. We do not validate, curate, or control Third Party Services. As a result, we do not guarantee, endorse, or recommend such content or services to any or all users of the Offerings, or the use of such content or services for any particular purpose. You access, rely upon or use any Third Party Content and/or Third Party Service at your own risk. Linea disclaims all responsibility and liability for any Losses (defined below) on account of your reliance upon or use of such content or services. We have no responsibility for Third Party Content that may be misleading, incomplete, erroneous, offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable to you or under the law in your jurisdiction. The choice to rely on Third Party Content or to use a Third Party Service is your own, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that your reliance or use is in compliance with all applicable laws. Dealing or correspondence with any third party that provides such content or services is solely between you and that third party. We reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, disable, or impose access restrictions or limits on the use of any Third Party Service at any time without notice.

    2.3. The Protocol. The Protocol is a type 2 zero knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine that replicates an Ethereum environment by leveraging rollups, providing users and developers with a network for software applications featuring low fees and scalability, while backed by the security of Ethereum and its decentralized community of validators. It is separate and apart from the Ethereum network. The Protocol is currently released in alpha, which means not all quality assurance measures have completed, and there is limited available documentation or support. The primary audience for this alpha release is the technically interested and module vendors. You recognize and agree to assume all risk of using the Protocol, which may include complete and total loss of any digital assets, data, or other assets or information used in connection with the Protocol. Linea has no obligation to monitor or control any use of the Protocol by you or any third party. Linea makes no representations or warranties about the functionality or security of the Protocol. All interactions on the Protocol are undertaken at your own risk, and Linea is not and shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any loss or damage arising out of or related to your or any third party's use or misuse of the Protocol. THE PROTOCOL IS A THIRD PARTY SERVICE AND IS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE OFFERINGS "AS IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" AND YOU ACCESS AND/OR INTERACT WITH THE PROTOCOL AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    2.4. To access the Protocol, one may transfer, or "bridge", an asset from the Ethereum network to the Protocol. Bridging is performed through the utilization of Third Party Services which are deployed on both the Protocol and Ethereum ("Bridge"). The Bridge is a Third Party Service, Linea merely makes technical integration or access to the Bridge available on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While you may access and use the Bridge through the Offerings, the Bridge may also be accessed directly, including by using other third party interfaces or through command line instructions. The third-party service provider offering the Bridge may impose a volume limitation of tokens flowing into and out of the Protocol and all users of the Bridge may be subject to such limitations.

    2.5. The Bridge may implement access to a yield boost feature ("Yield Boost"), through which ETH that is bridged from Ethereum to Linea may be staked. For the avoidance of doubt, the Yield Boost feature is not an Offering made available by Linea hereunder, and Linea merely makes technical integration or access available on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Linea assumes no responsibility and provides no guarantees hereunder as to such the Yield Boost feature's availability, security, correctness, performance, or continued operation. You agree to review and understand the terms of service issued by the relevant third-party service providers and the Yield Boost risk disclosures as a condition for using the Bridge. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that Linea shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or adverse consequence whatsoever arising from or in connection with the Yield Boost feature, regardless of the cause.

3. Modifications

We may make improvements, modifications, updates, or replacements to this Agreement, the Policies, any of the Offerings, or the Site, including but not limited to changes and updates to the underlying software, infrastructure, security protocols, technical configurations, or offering features from time to time ("Modifications").

Your continued access to and use of the Offerings are subject to such Modifications and you shall accept any changes, patches, system upgrades, bug fixes, feature modifications, or other maintenance work that arise out of such Modifications. We are not liable for any failure by you to accept and use such Modifications in the manner specified or required by us. We are also not obligated to make any Modifications under any circumstances. Although we are not obligated to monitor access to or use of the Offerings, we have the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Offerings, to ensure compliance with this Agreement, or to comply with applicable law or other legal requirements.

10. Additional Risks

    10.1. By using the Offerings, you represent that you are sophisticated enough to understand the various inherent risks of using cryptographic and public blockchain-based systems such as rollups, including but not limited to the Protocol and Interface, and of digital assets generally, such as ETH and other digital tokens such as those following the ERC-20 Ethereum token standard. You further acknowledge and accept all such risks, and agree that we make no representations or warranties (expressly or implicitly) regarding the Offerings, and that you will not hold us liable for those risks, any or all of which could lead to losses and damages, including the total and irrevocable loss of your assets. You acknowledge the additional risks set forth below:

        10.1.1. Security Council. Certain aspects of the Protocol, as evolving pieces of public infrastructure, are governed by a Security Council made up of a certain number of individuals. The Security Council is currently a set of keyholders who administer certain aspects of the network through a multisignature wallet that requires a certain subset of the Council to sign a message in order to implement certain actions. The Security Council may implement, or fail to implement, a protocol upgrade that significantly impacts the Protocol, or introduces other risks, bugs, malfunctions, cyberattack vectors, or other changes to the Protocol that could disrupt the operation of the Interface, the functionality of bridging, your ability to access bridged digital assets, or otherwise cause you damage or loss. The Security Council multisignature wallet itself may be the target of cyberattacks or other exploits, resulting in malicious acts that may cause you complete and total loss. You acknowledge and agree that the Security Council owes users of the Offerings no fiduciary duty and no other specialized duty of care and has no other relationship, contractual or otherwise, to users of the Protocol.

        10.1.2. Sequencer. The Protocol sequencer is the method through which transactions on the Protocol are ordered and finalized into blocks. It is software that accesses a private key for the purpose of signing messages continuously as blocks are created. Because the sequencer's private key must remain online, there is risk that, despite inherent difficulties of such an attack and various mitigation efforts, the sequencer private key could be compromised.

        10.1.3. Rollup state. Although steps have been taken to ensure the code underlying the Protocol are robust and resilient, there is still the risk that a severe software bug exists that could corrupt the data that the rollup sends to the Ethereum network. Further, while a problem with a corrupted state could be addressed by the Security Council, such mitigation measures that may or may not be taken may also have unforeseen negative consequences on the Protocol and, as a result, on any of your funds. During the alpha, verification of the rollup state may be delayed on Ethereum.

        10.1.4. Cloud. Multiple components that contribute to the functioning of the Protocol are serviced by a commercial cloud computing provider. If that provider experiences service outages, then there will be an interruption in the functioning of the Protocol.

        10.1.5. Regulatory risks. Digital assets, blockchain technology, and any related software and services are subject to legal and regulatory uncertainty in the United States and other jurisdictions. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions may adversely affect the usage, transferability, transactability and accessibility of the Protocol or the Interface.

        10.1.6. Additional risks, which may not be exhaustive, may be posted from time to time here: https://docs.linea.build/risk-disclosures.

11. BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Please read this Section 11 (the "Arbitration Agreement") carefully. It is part of your contract with Linea and affects your rights. It contains procedures for mandatory binding arbitration and a class action waiver.

    11.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Linea agree that any disagreement, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Offerings, any communications you receive, or this Agreement and prior versions of this Agreement (each, a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and Linea may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or Linea may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, "Dispute" will also include disputes that were not noticed at the time you first became subject to this Agreement, but that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of this Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

    11.2. Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Linea. If that occurs, Linea is committed to working with you to reach a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial resolution. You and Linea agree to participate in good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes before starting an arbitration or initiating an action in small claims court ("Informal Dispute Resolution"). You and Linea agree that, as part of these efforts, either party has the option to ask the other to meet and confer telephonically ("Informal Dispute Resolution Conference"). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you must also personally participate. To initiate Informal Dispute Resolution, a party must give notice in writing to the other party ("Notice"). Such Notice to Linea should be sent by email to the email listed in Section 12.13. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of the Dispute, including the specific relief sought. Linea will send Notice, including a description of the Dispute, to your email address or regular address on file. It is your responsibility to ensure your email and regular address are correct and remain up to date. The Notice must be signed by the party initiating the Dispute (i.e., either you personally or a Linea representative). The Informal Dispute Resolution process lasts 45 days and is a mandatory precondition to commencing arbitration. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, if requested by either party, shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms or organizations represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. The statute of limitations and any filing deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in Informal Dispute Resolution.

    11.3. Waiver of Trial in Front of Judge or Jury. YOU AND LINEA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Linea are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 11.1. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

    11.4. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under Section 11.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, determines that the limitations of this Section 11.4, are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Linea agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the courts located in the State of Delaware. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all Disputes between the parties that remain in arbitration are finally resolved. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This Section 11.4 does not prevent you or Linea from participating in a class-wide or mass settlement of claims.

    11.5. Rules and Forum. This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, including the procedures governing Batch Arbitration (defined below), and any arbitration. If Informal Dispute Resolution does not resolve satisfactorily within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a Notice, or after completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, if requested, you and Linea agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the National Arbitration & Mediation ("NAM") in accordance with the NAM Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedure (the "NAM Comprehensive Rules") in effect at the time of arbitration, except as supplemented, where applicable, by the NAM Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (the "NAM Mass Filing Rules"; together with the NAM Comprehensive Rules, the "NAM Rules"), and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The NAM Rules are currently available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/. A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the "Demand"). The Demand must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration, and the account username (if applicable), as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) a statement certifying that the requesting party will pay any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. Any Demand you send to Linea should be sent by email to the email listed in Section 12.13. Linea will provide the Demand to your email address on file. It is your responsibility to keep your contact information up to date. If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Demand shall also include counsel's name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Demand. By signing the Demand, counsel certifies to the best of counsel's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that, consistent with the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b): (1) the Demand is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery ("Counsel's Certification"). Unless you and Linea otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Section 11.9 is triggered, the arbitration, including any in-person arbitration hearing, will be conducted in the city where you reside. Subject to the NAM Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any NAM fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable NAM fee schedules (the "Fee Schedules"). You and Linea agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties' attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential. You and Linea agree that at least 14 days before the date set for an arbitration hearing, any party may serve an offer in writing upon the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover any post-offer costs to which they otherwise would be entitled and shall pay the offering party's costs from the time of the offer.

    11.6. Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Delaware and will be selected by the parties from NAM's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Demand, then NAM will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with NAM Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under Section 11.9 is triggered, NAM, without soliciting input or feedback from any party, will appoint the arbitrator for each batch, subject to your right to object to that appointment.

    11.7. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes regarding the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except that all Disputes regarding Section 11.4, including any claim that all or part of Section 11.4 is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that Section 11.4 has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

    11.8. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. Unless fee shifting is specifically authorized by law or by the NAM Rules, the parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Demand was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). To the extent, following a presentation on the merits, on its own motion or a party's, and after affording a reasonable opportunity to respond, an arbitrator determines that a party who commenced arbitration did not bring its claim(s) consistent with Counsel's Certification and the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), the parties agree that the arbitrator shall, as part of its award, impose sanctions by ordering that the initiating party reimburse the responding party for all arbitration filing and administrative fees and arbitrator costs the responding party incurred under the Fee Schedules. If you or Linea need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration.

    11.9. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Linea agree that in the event that there are twenty-five (25) or more individual Demands of a substantially similar nature filed against Linea by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a reasonably proximate period of time, for example, a ninety (90) day period, NAM shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Demands per batch (or, if between twenty-five (25) and ninety-nine (99) individual Demands are filed, a single batch of all those Demands, and, to the extent there are fewer than 100 Demands remaining after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Demands); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch on a consolidated basis with one set of filing and administrative fees due per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award, which will provide for any and all relief to which the arbitrator determines each individual party is entitled ("Batch Arbitration"). NAM shall administer all batches concurrently, to the extent possible. All parties agree that Demands are of a "substantially similar nature" if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issue(s) and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise NAM, and NAM shall appoint a sole standing Procedural Arbitrator or, should the circumstances so require, an Emergency Arbitrator, according to the NAM Rules, to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (the Procedural Arbitrator or Emergency Arbitrator, the "Administrative Arbitrator"). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator's fees shall be paid by Linea. You and Linea agree to cooperate in good faith with NAM to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Demands, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing or creating a class, collective, and/or representative arbitration or action of any kind, except as expressly set forth in this provision, and nothing about the Batch Arbitration process will preclude any party from participating in any arbitration administered according to that process.

    11.10. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the email listed in Section 12.13, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Any opt-out Notice will be effective only if you send it yourself, on an individual basis, and opt out notices from any third-party purporting to act on your behalf will have no effect on your or Linea's rights. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any arbitration agreements that you may currently have with us, including any previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement to which you agreed and did not timely opt out, which will remain in effect, and has no effect on any arbitration agreements with us you may enter in the future.

    11.11. Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in Section 11.4 if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 11.9) are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. However, if Section 11.9 is found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable then, in that case, the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void, and the parties agree that all Disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Linea as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction. You and Linea agree that any Dispute must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

    11.12. Modification. You and we agree that Linea retains the right to modify this Arbitration Agreement in the future. Any such changes will be posted on the Offerings, and you should check for updates regularly. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Linea makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Your continued use of the Offerings, including the acceptance of products and services offered on the Offerings following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement, constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. If you have previously agreed to a version of this Agreement with an arbitration agreement and you did not validly opt out of the arbitration agreement then, changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of your previous agreement to arbitrate. Linea will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of this Agreement.
