Clause A states that invalid provisions are enforced to the maximum extent and remaining terms stay in effect, while Clause B specifies that if the class action waiver is invalid for a claim, that claim is severed from arbitration, presenting opposing outcomes for the obligation to arbitrate.
"**16.2 Severability.** If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect."
"**14.7 Severability.** If any portion of this arbitration provision is found to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful for any reason, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision. However, if the Class Action, Representative Action, & Jury Trial Waiver paragraph of this arbitration provision is found to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful as to a particular claim or request for relief then that claim or request for relief will be severed from the arbitration. The terms of this arbitration provision will prevail if there is any conflict between the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator and this section."

Any opt-out notification received after the opt-out deadline or not including the required items noted in (1)-(4) in the preceding sentence will not be valid and you will be required to pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the terms and conditions of these Terms, which still apply to you. If you opt-out of any future change NVIDIA may make to the arbitration provisions in these Terms, the most recent version of such change before the change you rejected will apply."

"**14.3 Binding Arbitration.** For any Disputes that are not resolved informally or by the small claims court, you and NVIDIA each agree to resolve any such Dispute by binding arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) under the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, as modified by these Terms (rules available at https://www.jamsadr.com/). To the extent that 20 or more demands for arbitration are filed against NVIDIA by individual claimants represented by either the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination, those claims will be administered under the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines and resolved in batches of 100 claimants each (or in a single batch if less than 100 claimants) as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing (if any). Except as otherwise provided in this section, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including jurisdictional and arbitrability issues and the formation, existence, validity, interpretation, and scope of this arbitration provision, but a court has exclusive authority to decide the enforceability, validity, interpretation, and scope of the Class Action, Representative Action & Jury Trial Waiver subsection below. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California (or the nearest JAMS office to Santa Clara County), unless you request an in-person hearing in your hometown, or you and NVIDIA agree otherwise. "
Establishes binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules as the mandatory dispute resolution procedure for unresolved disputes, and introduces a batching procedure for 20 or more coordinated arbitration demands filed against NVIDIA.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"You and NVIDIA agree that the parties will arbitrate all Disputes, remedies, and requests for relief subject to individual arbitration first, the arbitrator will only determine issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted, and the arbitrator may only award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. You and NVIDIA agree that any remaining unresolved Disputes, remedies, or requests for relief may be pursued in court only after the arbitrator’s award has been issued. In any later court proceeding, the arbitrator’s factual findings will not be entitled to deference by the court. Nothing in these terms will prevent a party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts in any jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened violation of that party’s data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights. If for any reason this Section 14.3 is unenforceable concerning any Dispute, and a Dispute proceeds in a court of general jurisdiction, the Dispute will be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California."
Defines the scope and sequencing of arbitration: all disputes must be arbitrated individually first, the arbitrator's authority is limited to determining liability on the merits and awarding individual declaratory or injunctive relief, and any remaining unresolved matters may only proceed in court after an arbitral award is issued.

"**14.5 RIGHT TO OPT-OUT.** YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THE FOREGOING JURY TRIAL, CLASS ACTION, ARBITRATION, AND COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING WAIVER PROVISION BY NOTIFYING NVIDIA IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF COMMENCEMENT OF USE OF THE SITE, WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, OR WITHIN 30 DAYS OF ANY FUTURE CHANGE NVIDIA MAY MAKE TO THIS SECTION 14.5.

ANY OPT-OUT NOTIFICATION THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS WILL NOT BE VALID AND YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PURSUE YOUR DISPUTE IN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. OPTING OUT OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE WILL NOT AFFECT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS, WHICH STILL APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU OPT-OUT OF ANY FUTURE CHANGE NVIDIA MAY MAKE TO THIS SECTION 14.5, THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF SECTION 14.5 BEFORE THE CHANGE YOU REJECTED WILL APPLY."
Grants the user the right to opt out of the jury trial waiver, class action waiver, and arbitration provision by providing written notice to NVIDIA within 30 days of first use, the effective date of the terms, or any future change to this section, specifying the required form and delivery method of that notice.

"**14.6 Governing Law.** You and NVIDIA each agree that all Disputes will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, in addition to the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware and the United States, without regard to or application of its conflict of laws rules or principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed.

Establishes a severability procedure for the arbitration provision: invalid portions do not invalidate the rest, except that if the class action and jury trial waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that specific claim is severed from arbitration; the arbitration provision prevails over any conflicting terms.

“**14.7 Severability.** If any portion of this arbitration provision is found to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful for any reason, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision. However, if the Class Action, Representative Action, & Jury Trial Waiver paragraph of this arbitration provision is found to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful as to a particular claim or request for relief then that claim or request for relief will be severed from the arbitration. The terms of this arbitration provision will prevail if there is any conflict between the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator and this section.”Open timeline citation

Know where the missing document lives?
We haven't yet verified NVIDIA NIM's Privacy Policy. Point us at the official page and our pipeline will attempt to capture and read it in full. Submissions are candidates only — nothing is published until it passes the same verification gates as every other document on this site.
Every finding above is a verbatim quote from NVIDIA NIM's own published policy, captured to an immutable snapshot and read in full through a two-gate verification pipeline. Confidence labels and any analysis are AI-generated and informational only — not legal advice.
