iii. You also have the option of judicial redress by pursuing your claim in a court which has jurisdiction.

iv. You may submit a report or complaint regarding Content which you believe is illegal or otherwise violates our Terms of Service. We will review all reports and complaints, and determine whether we agree that a violation of our Terms of Service has occurred.

If you do, we will engage with the out-of-court dispute settlement body in good faith and as required by law.

vi. We are not bound by any decisions made by an out-of-court dispute settlement body, and may refuse to engage with an out-of-court dispute settlement body if a dispute concerning the same Content, and the same grounds of alleged incompatibility with our Terms of Service has already been resolved.
