The intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification sections, and provisions related to ownership rights and the non-responsibility or non-liability of any party will survive termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement, or ceasing to use or access this Website, will not relieve you of obligations arising or accruing prior to termination or the ceasing of use or access, or limit any responsibility or liability you otherwise may have to us or a third-party.
GOVERNING LAW
This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Every provision of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner to be legal, valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity of any other part of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
If you have any dispute with us, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally.
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or breach, termination or invalidity thereof, not resolved informally, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then obtaining, except as provided herein.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, the place of arbitration shall be in New York, New York, United States of America. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include all reasonable costs arising out of or relating to the arbitration, including attorneys’ fees and costs for experts or other witnesses. The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on its own jurisdiction, including any objections in respect of the existence or validity of this section on the resolution of disputes, but shall have no power to act ex aequo et bono or to award punitive damages. Nothing in this section shall prevent you or we from seeking injunctive relief or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Website or its servers.
You and we shall be bound by any arbitration award rendered as a result of arbitration as the final adjudication of any such dispute, controversy or claim. You and we agree that, by entering into these terms, you and we each waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
RIGHTS
This Agreement, and all rights, obligations and permissions that you get from it, cannot be transferred or otherwise given to anyone by you, but can be transferred or given to others by us, at our sole discretion. Any transfer made by you is null and void.
Just because we have not asserted or exercised a right under this Agreement does not mean we have given up the right. If something happens that allows us to assert or exercise a right and we give up the chance to do so, it is one-time only; the next time something similar happens, we will be free to assert or exercise the right again.
