In no event will we or our affiliates, VENDORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, officers, directors, owners, employees, CONTRACTORS, or agents be liable for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, special, incidental, or punitive damages or lost revenue, lost profits, Loss of GOODWILL/REPUTATION, or lost anticipated business (even if we have been advised of or could have anticipated the possibility of such damages) arising from or relating to these Terms, THE SITE, or the ServiceS, regardless of the form of action or theory of liability. Our aggregate liability for any liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses associated with any claim or action related to, in connection with, or arising under these Terms, THE SITE, or the ServiceS, regardless of the form of action or theory of liability, will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100). To the extent a jurisdiction does not allow the limitation of some liabilities, some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

  1. Dispute Resolution

Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, and/or the Services, including, but not limited to, alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties (a “Dispute”) shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in this paragraph. If the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute through informal means, either party may initiate binding arbitration of such Dispute by sending notice demanding arbitration to the other party. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the Dispute has arisen, but in no event shall it be made more than one year from when the aggrieved party knew or should have known of the controversy, claim, or facts forming the basis of the Dispute. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to American Arbitration Association rules and procedures for commercial arbitration, including provisions for the resolution of consumer disputes (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Tarrant County, Texas before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Either party may bring a Dispute in small claims court in Tarrant County, Texas to the extent permitted by the Arbitration Rules. If the amount in controversy is less than $20,000, the parties agree that the Dispute in arbitration will be decided on the basis of written submissions without a hearing. The decision of the arbitrator will be final without option to appeal. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive, special, consequential, or indirect damages against any party. Arbitration costs and fees shall be divided equally between the parties except in the event of a consumer arbitration in which case arbitration costs and fees will be allocated in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, regardless of which party prevails, except that in arbitrations to enforce your indemnification obligations or to collect amounts you owe to us, you will reimburse our attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses if we prevail. No disputes may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS OR DISPUTES WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE; AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO PRESENT ITS CLAIM OR DISPUTE IN A COURT OF LAW. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s), if any, may be entered for enforcement purposes in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

  1. Governing Law

The Terms are governed according to the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. Subject to the dispute resolution process described above, all claims, disputes, and suits must be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in Tarrant County, Texas and the parties agree to the jurisdiction thereof. Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in disputes to enforce these Terms except in the case of an action by us to enforce your indemnification obligations herein or to collect amounts you owe to us, in which case you will reimburse our reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs if we prevail.

  1. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us and our affiliates, vendors, service providers, officers, directors, owners, employees, contractors, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, governmental investigations, demands, actions, and proceedings, real or threatened, and all losses, judgments, awards, settlements, damages, fines, injuries, penalties, and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or related to (i) any breach or alleged breach of these Terms by you; (ii) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; (iii) your negligence or willful misconduct; or (iv) your Content.

We provide links as a convenience and the inclusion of the link does not imply that we endorse or accept any responsibility for those sites. Your linking to any off-Site pages or other sites is at your own risk. We recommend that you review any terms of use statement and privacy policy before accessing any linked site.

  1. Force Majeure

We will be excused from failures or delays in delivery or performance of the Site and/or Services, if such failure or delay is attributable to causes our reasonable control such as weather, acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorist attack, disease, epidemic/pandemic, criminal activity, riot, civil unrest, strike, or utility failure.

  1. Feedback

  1. Miscellaneous

The Terms constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, the parties intend that the offending provision be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be lawful and enforceable. Portions of the Terms which by their nature would survive termination of your use of the Site or Services (e.g., disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, indemnification) shall be deemed to survive. The Terms do not create any joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between the parties. You agree that ambiguities in the Terms will not be construed against us by attribution of drafting. We may assign any of our rights or obligations to others at any time without notice to you. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations to others without our prior written consent.
