Indemnification

You (and any third party on whose behalf you use the Services) agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company Parties from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and/or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with the following (whether resulting from your activities on the Services or those conducted on your behalf): (i) your access to or use of the Services; (ii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms; or (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property, or privacy right.  You agree that the Company Parties will have no liability in connection with any such breach or unauthorized use, and you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless any and all resulting loss, damages, judgments, awards, costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of the Company Parties in connection therewith.  You will cooperate as fully required by Company in the defense of any claim.  The Company Parties reserve the right to assume exclusive control of its defense in any matter subject to your indemnification, which shall not excuse your obligation to indemnify the Company Parties.  You shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of Company.

Dispute Resolution

This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully.

Informal Process. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Company, you will first contact Company and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.

Agreement to Arbitrate. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy or claim (collectively, “Dispute”) relating in any way to these Terms or Company’s services and/or products, including but not limited to the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and Company or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration.  This mandatory arbitration agreement applies to you and to Company.  However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Dispute by Company for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms, or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases.

You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.  This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to:

Arbitration Procedure and Rules.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, including all questions of arbitrability, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules by a sole arbitrator. The parties hereto shall endeavor to agree upon the arbitrator, and if they fail to do so within twenty-one (21) days of the commencement of the arbitration, the appointment shall be made by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The place, or legal seat of arbitration, shall be New York, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.

You may only bring claims in your individual capacity on your own behalf, and not in any representative capacity or on behalf of any class or purported class, and no arbitration you commence hereunder may be joined with or include any claims by any other persons.  Each party shall be exclusively responsible for paying its own arbitration filing fees, which may later be allocated by the arbitrator as set forth below.

The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award and, subject to the limitation of liability set forth above, shall have the power to grant any interim or provisional measures that the arbitrator deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and specific performance, and any interim or provisional measures ordered by the arbitrator may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction as a final award.  Nothing herein, however, shall authorize the arbitrator to act as amiable compositeurs, to proceed ex aequo et bono, or to exercise rights of iura novit curia.  Each party hereto retains the right to seek interim measures from a judicial authority, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.  The arbitrator shall award the prevailing party, if any as determined by the arbitrator, its reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  No information concerning an arbitration, beyond the names of the parties, their counsel or the relief requested, may be unilaterally disclosed to a third party by any party unless required by law.  Any documentary or other evidence given by any party or witness in any arbitration shall be treated as confidential by any party whose access to such evidence arises exclusively because of its participation in the arbitration and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than a witness or expert), except as may be required by law.  Any party who commences any judicial proceeding in connection with an arbitration initiated hereunder shall endeavor to have the judicial record of any such proceeding sealed to the extent permitted by law.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, YOUR CLAIM WILL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Consent to Communications

By providing us with your contact information and using the Services, you agree to receive communications via e-mail and/or social media from or on behalf of Company at the email address or telephone number (including mobile number) you provided.  You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.

Business Uses

If you are using our Services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these terms. It will hold harmless and indemnify Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors from any demands, claims, suits, actions, damages, liabilities, expenses or harms arising from or related to the use of the Services or violation of these terms, including any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

No Third Party Rights

Unless expressly stated in these Terms to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than you, Company, and our successors and assigns. Nothing in these Terms is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to you and Company and our successors and assigns, nor shall any provision give any third parties any right of subrogation or action over against you, Company, and our successors and assigns.

Force Majeure

We will not be deemed to be in breach of these Terms or liable for any breach of these Terms due to any event or occurrence beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, terrorism, war, invasion, failures of any public networks, electrical shortages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, fire, pandemics/epidemics, or other disaster.

No Waiver; Assignment Rights

Company’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance.  We may assign these Terms at any time without notice to you.  You may not assign to anyone else and any attempt by you to assign shall be void. If you do not comply with these Terms, and we do not act right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, it is, to the extent necessary, deemed modified in order to comply with applicable law, and the remaining provisions shall not be affected in any way.

Modification

We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time.  When we do, we will also revise the “Last Updated” date at the top.  We encourage you to periodically review these Terms, so you are aware of any revisions to which you are bound.
