The Family Office adopts and enforces electronic communication as the preferred, primary, and contractually authoritative method of Notice. Users expressly acknowledge that:

  • email transmission shall serve as the default and superior method of legal communication;

  2. the Notice’s arrival on the Family Office’s email server; or

Given the confidential, private, and non-public nature of the Family Office’s operations, all disputes shall be resolved through private, confidential procedures designed to protect the Family Office’s privacy, discretion, and operational integrity.

11. Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute relating to or arising from this Website or any interaction with the Family Office, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the laws of the State corresponding to the Family Office’s principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

shall be resolved exclusively and finally by confidential binding arbitration.

Notwithstanding the arbitration requirements above, the Family Office may seek immediate temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its confidential information, proprietary interests, security infrastructure, or operational integrity.
