SERVICES
Use of the Services
Subject to these Terms, and the payment of the applicable Fee, Company grants Client and its Users the right to access and use the Services in accordance with Client’s Scope of Use and only during the Subscription Term. The Services may not be used for the benefit of anyone other than the Client.
Client is responsible for determining whether the Services are suitable for Client’s intended use and for ensuring that Client’s use of the Services is sufficient to meet Client’s own legal and regulatory obligations. Company does not warrant that the Services will satisfy legal, regulatory, or industry-specific requirements applicable to Client’s business.
Modifications to Services
Company reserves, in its sole discretion, the right to modify the Services or any part or element thereof from time to time without prior notice. Company shall not be liable to the Client or to any third person for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of any element of the Services.
Users; Credentials
Client may authorize Users to access and use the Platform solely: (i) in accordance with the Client’s Scope of Use; and (ii) for the benefit of Client. Client shall ensure its Users comply with these Terms and Client is responsible for all activities of its Users, including any purchases, use of Non-Company Applications, and how Users access and use Client Data.

Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Credentials and is solely responsible for all activities that occur with such Credentials. Client must promptly notify Company of any actual or suspected, disclosure, loss or unauthorized use of any Credentials.

The initial Subscription Term for each Subscription is either monthly or annual and, unless the Subscription Term is terminated in accordance with Section 14, each Subscription will automatically renew for successive renewal Subscription Terms. Annual Subscriptions will automatically renew for successive years and monthly Subscriptions will automatically renew for successive months.
Client may upgrade or downgrade a Subscription at any time by selecting a new Subscription. Subscription upgrades will be effective immediately and Client’s payment method on file will be charged for the difference in price between the existing Subscription and the new Subscription for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term. Subscription downgrades will be effective on the next Renewal Date. The Client’s payment method on file will automatically be charged the Fee for the new Subscription. If, after the commencement of a Subscription Term, Client elects to downgrade a Subscription, this may cause the loss of features, functionality, capacity of the Account, as well as the loss of Client Data. For the avoidance of doubt, no refund of any prepaid or outstanding Fees will be provided to the Client for the price difference between Subscriptions if the Client downgrades a Subscription during a Subscription Term. If the Subscription was purchased through a Reseller then Fees owed for upgrades will be addressed directly with the Reseller.
Administration of Client’s Account
Client acknowledges that it has administrative control over, and is responsible for, who it grants access to Client Data hosted in the Services. Client may specify a User to be the billing owner and, depending on the Subscription, one or more Users to be an Administrator to manage its Account. Company is entitled to rely on communications from an Administrator when servicing Client’s Account. Client’s Administrator(s) may have the ability to access, monitor, use, and/or export Client Data as well as change User rights. Client will provide any information requested to confirm User identity. In the event that the Client loses access to an Account or otherwise requests information about an Account, Company is under no obligation to provide access or information until: (i) Company has been provided all requested information regarding User identity and (ii) the Client and requesting User have signed an indemnity regarding the access or information provided.
Technical Support
Company shall provide the technical support to Client and its Users set forth in the Client’s Subscription.
Free Trial
Upon expiration of a Free Trial, if any, of the Platform, the Account will be immediately deactivated. In order to prevent deactivation, or to reactivate the Account, Client must select a Subscription and pay the Subscription’s Fee. If a Client unsubscribes from the Free Trial before expiration of the same, the Client’s access to the Platform and Account shall be immediately restricted. If a Subscription is not selected and paid for before the expiration of the Free Trial, Company may permanently delete the Account, in its sole discretion, including all Client Data as specified in the Privacy Policy. If Client does not cancel the Account before the end of the Free Trial, Client acknowledges and accepts that its billing information will be automatically charged for a Subscription at the end of the Free Trial period.
Beta Services
Clients may access and use Beta Services for testing and evaluation purposes. Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to fully or partially discontinue, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, any Beta Services, with or without notice to Client. By using the Beta Services, you agree that Company may collect, store, and analyze your Input, Output and usage to improve and develop the Services and you agree to provide to Company an irrevocable, perpetual license to your Input solely for these purposes. If the Beta Services involve AI or machine learning capabilities, you acknowledge and agree that Company may use your Client Data, including your Input and Output to train or refine such capabilities solely for the purpose of providing the Beta Services to you. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS, COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CLIENT OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS WHATSOEVER RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF BETA SERVICES, OR CAUSED BY THE MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION OR DISCONTINUANCE OF BETA SERVICES, FOR ANY REASON.
Non-Company Applications; Third-Party Providers
Company or third parties may make available Non-Company Applications and provide a directory of certain Third-Party Providers, via the Marketplace, or their own websites. The terms and conditions regarding the use or receipt of Non-Company Applications and relationships with Third-Party Providers are between Client and the Third-Party Provider and any exchange of data between Client and such Third-Party Provider is solely between Client and the applicable Third-Party Provider. Any questions, concerns or disputes that arise based on Client’s use of Non-Company Applications or services or materials of Third-Party Providers should be addressed directly with such Third-Party Provider.
Company does not warrant, or support Non-Company Applications or any services or materials provided by Third-Party Providers. Company does not recommend any particular Third-Party Provider and the existence of a directory and search functionality (such as a recommendation engine) should not be interpreted as Company recommending a Non-Company Application or Third-Party Provider.
Company is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Client Data resulting from access to a Non-Company Application or its provider. Clients should be aware that Non-Company Applications may enable users of the Non-Company Applications to have access rights to Client Data that are typically reserved to Administrators. The Services may contain features and functionality designed to interoperate with Non-Company Applications, but Company cannot guarantee the continued availability of such features, functionality or interoperability and may cease providing them without notice and without entitling Client to any compensation. CLIENT AGREES COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO NON-COMPANY APPLICATIONS OR THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS.
AI Functionality
Certain features of the Services may incorporate AI Functionality as a core component. Where AI Functionality is integrated into the Services in this way, Client’s use of the relevant features constitutes use of AI Functionality and these terms apply accordingly.
When Client, or its Users use AI Functionality, it may process Inputs and provide Outputs generated and returned by the AI Functionality based on the Input. Inputs and Outputs may include Client Data.
Client must ensure that Inputs and use of the AI Functionality or any Output does not violate any laws or agreements applicable to Client. You are solely responsible for the development, content, operation, maintenance and use of any Input or Output. Due to the nature of artificial intelligence and machine learning, an Output may not be accurate or reliable and Client should independently review all Output prior to using or sharing the Output. Company does not provide any guarantee of accuracy.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning models can improve over time to better address specific use cases. We do not permit third parties to use Client Data to improve or train their AI models.
Client may not use AI Functionality to mislead any person that Output from the AI Functionality was solely human generated. Due to the nature of machine learning and the technology powering the AI Functionality, Output may not be unique and AI Functionality may generate the same or similar output to other services.
Client acknowledges that certain elements of the AI Functionality are powered by third-party AI service providers (“AI Service Providers”) and agrees that Company may share Inputs and Outputs (including Client Data) with AI Service Providers to facilitate the provision of AI Functionality. For Beta Services that include AI Functionality, additional AI Service Providers may apply and will be identified in the applicable Beta-specific or supplemental terms.
Client may not use AI Functionality in a manner that violates any terms, applicable laws or any policy of any AI Service Provider. Client agrees that Company shall not be liable for any acts, errors, omissions or breaches committed by AI Service Providers in connection with the provision of AI Functionality or Services.

INDEMNIFICATION
Company Indemnification
Subject to the exclusions below, Company will, at Company’s expense, defend and/or settle any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party against Client or Client’s officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (collectively, “Client Parties”) alleging that the Platform, as provided by Company, infringes any copyright, trademark, trade secret or patent protectable under U.S. law. In addition, Company will pay any judgment awarded against the Client Parties or any settlement amount agreed to by Company for the indemnified claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall have no indemnity or other defense obligations in relation to any functionality or services that are being used or are identified as trial use, evaluation use, or beta. THIS INDEMNITY IS THE CLIENT PARTIES’ EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND COMPANY’S SOLE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.
Company will have no obligation under Section 12(i) with respect to any claim of infringement arising out of or based upon: (i) Client Data; (ii) use of the Services in any manner other than as expressly authorized and contemplated in these Terms; (iii) the combination of the Services with any other software, hardware, material, or processes; or (iv) Client otherwise causing the Services to become infringing (collectively, the “Indemnity Exclusions”).
If Company reasonably believes that a claim of infringement relating to the Services may arise, Company may, without limiting Company’s indemnity obligations hereunder, procure the right for Client to continue to use the Services or modify the Services in a functionally equivalent manner so as to avoid such claim of infringement. If the foregoing options are not available on commercially reasonable terms and conditions (in Company’s sole determination), Company may immediately terminate these Terms and refund to Client a prorated amount of prepaid Fees for access to the Services actually paid by Client for the remainder of the Subscription Term.
Client Parties that receive notice, or become aware, of a claim that Company has agreed to defend under this Section must give Company prompt written notice of such claim or allegation setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim. The Client Parties will not make any payment or incur any costs or expenses with respect to such claim, except as requested by Company or as necessary to comply with this procedure. The Client Parties will not make any admission of liability or take any other action that limits the ability of Company to defend the claim. Company shall have the right to assume full and complete control of the defense or settlement of such claim or allegation. The Client Parties will fully cooperate in the defense or settlement of the claim as reasonably requested by Company.
Client Indemnification
Client will, at Client’s expense, defend and/or settle any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party against Company and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, “Company Parties”), arising out of Client’s (or any Client User’s) use or misuse of the Services, Company Materials, representations made to Company, its Affiliates and/or third parties, violation or breach of these Terms, violation of the rights of any other person or entity, or any Indemnity Exclusions. Company reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which Client is required to indemnify Company, and Client agrees to cooperate with such defense of these claims.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
No Liability
Company shall not be liable to the Client or User for any consequences resulting from:
Any modifications in these Terms, modification of the Services, Company Material, Account usage by Client or any part or element thereof, including, but not limited to, any error, permanent or temporary interruption, discontinuance, suspension or other type of unavailability of the Services or Company Materials;
Deletion of, corruption of, or failure to store any Client Data;
Use of Client Data by the Client or any of the Users associated with the Account;
Upgrading or downgrading of a current Subscription by Client;
Any disclosure, loss or unauthorized use of the Credentials of Client or any User due to Client’s failure to keep them confidential;
Client’s use of the Account or the Services by means of web browsers other than those accepted or supported by the Company;
The application of any remedies against the Client or Users by Company; for example, if the Client or User has committed a crime or conducted a breach of applicable law by using the Services or any part or element thereof;
The differences between technologies and platforms used for access; for example, if certain Features, functions, parts or elements of the Services are designed for use on a personal computer or laptop and do not function on a mobile platform or a tablet; and/or
Company’s application of the remedies described in these Terms, even if the reasonable grounds or legal basis for the application of these remedies turned out to be unfounded or invalid afterwards.
In addition, Company and its Affiliates shall not be liable to the Client for any claim by any User, person, organization, or third persons against the Client arising out of the Client’s failure to:
Provide Company with accurate information about the Client, Users or Account;
Notify Company of any reasons due to which a User does not have the right to use the Account on behalf of the Client;
Provide any Services or Features which it has agreed to provide to any person or organization (whether such failure arises as a result of Company’s negligence, breach of these Terms or otherwise);
Ensure the lawfulness of the Client Data;
Obtain the necessary rights to use the Client Data; or
Abide by any of the restrictions described in these Terms.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER, WHETHER IN RESPECT OF A SINGLE OCCURRENCE OR A SERIES OF OCCURRENCES, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CLIENT UNDER THESE TERMS TO COMPANY FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE SIX MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT OUT OF WHICH LIABILITY AROSE UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS AN AGGREGATE LIMIT AND WILL NOT BE INCREASED BY THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM OR INCIDENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.
Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages
IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, OR DATA, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER ARISING.
THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES IN SECTIONS 13(b) and 13(c) SHALL APPLY: (i) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS OR ELSEWHERE; (ii) TO ALL CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS; (iii) REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY UNDER WHICH THE CLAIM ARISES, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), INDEMNITY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE; (iv) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (v) REGARDLESS OF IF THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE UNDER THESE TERMS FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS ARE FUNDAMENTAL PARTS OF THE BASIS OF COMPANY’S BARGAIN HEREUNDER, AND CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PROVISIONS REPRESENT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK.
Since some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of warranties or liability, some or all of the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Section 13 may be held unenforceable as applied to Client Parties. In such cases, Company’s liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law.

Company shall have no obligation to provide Client with any credit or refund of prepaid Fees due to suspension in accordance with these Terms. Company will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Client or any User may incur as a result of a Service Suspension and shall have no obligation to refund any Fees in connection with a Service Suspension.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION
THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION. YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH COMPANY AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement
Any dispute, claim, or controversy of any nature arising out of or relating in any way to the use of the Website, Services, your Account, these Terms, or the Arbitration Agreement (as defined below), including without limitation the interpretation, validity, scope, or applicability of these Terms or the Arbitration Agreement (hereinafter, collectively, the “Dispute”), which cannot be resolved informally, shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual, and not a class or representative, basis under the terms set forth below (the “Arbitration Agreement”). This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Company, and to any of our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors in interest, and assigns. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INVOLVING MULTIPLE CLAIMANTS, BUT THEY INSTEAD CHOOSE AND AGREE TO HAVE ALL DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN DECIDED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. Neither the agreement to arbitrate nor the waiver of the right to participate in a class action or other proceeding involving multiple claimants shall be construed as a limitation on or waiver of a party’s right to seek public injunctive relief, where warranted, in such arbitration.
Disputes Excluded from Arbitration
Disputes where the amount in controversy is less than any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limit and filed by you or Company individually in a small claims court are not subject to arbitration, so long as the disputes remain in such small claims court and advance only an individual (non-class, non-representative) claim for relief. In the event of any actual, alleged, or threatened violation of confidentiality or violation of Company’s or its licensor’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights, Company may immediately resort to court proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth above in order to seek immediate injunctive relief without posting of a bond, proof of damages, or other similar requirement. The institution of any action for injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.
Confidential Proceedings
The parties expressly agree that any and all actions taken under the Arbitration Agreement and related provisions, including but not limited to all filings, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party, except as expressly agreed in writing by all parties otherwise may be required by law.
Arbitrator
The arbitration proceeding will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA’s then-current and applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) before a single arbitrator selected pursuant to the AAA Rules. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. Any final award or judgment may be filed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties shall share equally in the costs assessed for the arbitration, and each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs. Any arbitration proceeding may not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding and will not proceed as a class action.
Place and Governing Law
The place of arbitration shall be in Clark County, Nevada, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties to the arbitration. The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., as may be amended from time to time (“FAA”), shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent state law is applicable, the laws of the State of Nevada shall apply without regard to conflict-of-laws provisions.
Survival; Severability
This Arbitration Agreement provision will survive the termination of these Terms. Except as set forth in the Section titled Class Action Waiver below, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable through a final judicial determination, such provision will be deemed to be restated in accordance with applicable law and the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions of this Arbitration Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Otherwise, no portion of this Arbitration Agreement may be amended, severed, or waived absent a written agreement between you and Company.
Time Limitation on Claims
The parties agree that they must initiate arbitration within one (1) year after the party discovered or should have discovered the Dispute, unless applicable state or federal law expressly does not permit for the parties to shorten the length of a limitations or repose period or enforcement of this provision contradicts an applicable fundamental public policy; otherwise, the parties agree that the Dispute is permanently barred.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate one or more person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this section’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
Initiating Arbitration
If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send a written notice (“Notice”), by certified mail to Company, Attn: Legal, 1980 Festival Plaza Dr., Suite 650, Las Vegas, Nevada 89135. If Company intends to seek arbitration, Company will send a Notice to the email address, current billing address, or cell phone number in your Account. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. If the parties cannot reach an agreement within 30 days from the receipt of the Notice, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings.
A form to initiate arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send such copy to Company at Company, Attn: Legal, 1980 Festival Plaza Dr., Suite 650, Las Vegas, Nevada 89135. Company will send such copy to the email address, current billing address, or cell phone number in your Account or to your attorney, if you have retained one.
For Disputes asserted by you of $50,000 (US Dollars) or less, you agree to pay the filing fee specified in the rules of the AAA; Company will pay any additional required filing fees, and all administration and arbitrator fees (collectively, “Arbitration Fees”) unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. For Disputes by you over $50,000 (US Dollars), you will be responsible for the Arbitration Fees. For Disputes asserted by Company, Company will pay Arbitration Fees. The parties agree that the prevailing party may recover Arbitration Fees as costs unless otherwise ruled by the arbitrator.
GENERAL
Relationship of the Parties
The parties will act solely as independent contractors. These Terms shall not be construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary duty, or any other form of legal association between Client and Company, and Client shall not represent to the contrary, whether expressly, by implication, appearance or otherwise. These Terms are not for the benefit of any third parties.
Severability

Entire Agreement
These Terms, including the additional terms incorporated herein by reference, are the entire agreement between Client and Company regarding Client’s use of the Services, Company Materials and the Platform and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. As used in this Agreement, the terms “including,” “include,” and “includes” are not limiting and shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Company’s remedies specified in these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available to Company at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Modification
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Terms from time to time. Notification of such modifications may be posted on or through the Website, Platform or the Services through, for example, an in-app notification) or by posting at ________________. Modifications to these Terms will take effect at the earlier of (i) the first Renewal Date following posting, or (ii) thirty (30) days after posting (the “Amended Date”). If Client does not wish to be bound by the modifications, then Client must cancel prior to the Amended Date in accordance with Section 14 above. Client’s continued use of the Services constitutes its acceptance of these Terms and any modifications.
Assignment
Client may not, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, assign or transfer these Terms or delegate any of its rights and/or obligations under these Terms without Company’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation without such prior written consent will be void and unenforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Client may assign this Agreement without consent upon written notice to Company: (1) to any credit-worthy entity controlled by, or under common control with the Client that assumes all of Client’s obligations under this Agreement; or (2) in connection with a merger, reorganization, transfer, sale of assets or product lines, or change of control or ownership of the Client provided the surviving entity is credit worthy and assumes all of Client’s obligations under this Agreement. The notice of assignment must include the name and billing information of the assignee. Company may freely assign or transfer these Terms or delegate any of its rights and/or obligations under these Terms without restriction.
No Waiver
No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
Governing Law, Forum Selection, and Jury Waiver
Except as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement provisions in Section 15 above, all matters relating to your use of the Website, these Terms, or your Account shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Nevada without regard to choice-of-law principles or conflict-of-laws provisions. These terms will not limit any consumer protection rights that you may be entitled to under the mandatory laws of your state of residence.
Unless you and Company agree otherwise, if it is determined or these Terms provide that a claim should not proceed through arbitration, you agree that any claim or dispute (with the exception of a claim or dispute appropriately lodged in any small claims court) shall be resolved in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If subject matter jurisdiction (including diversity jurisdiction) does not exist in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada for any such claim, then the exclusive forum and venue for any such action shall be the courts of the State of Nevada located in Clark County, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. As to any proceeding in court, you and Company both waive your right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable.
The choice-of-law and forum-selection provisions in this section do not apply to the Arbitration Agreement or to any arbitrable disputes as provided herein. Instead, as provided in the Arbitration Agreement provisions above, the FAA shall apply to any such disputes.
Notices
Except as otherwise specified in the Terms, all notices related to the Terms from Client to Company will be in writing and will be effective upon (i) personal delivery, (ii) the second business day after mailing, or (iii), except for notices of termination or an indemnifiable claim, which shall clearly be identifiable as “Legal Notices”, the day of sending by email. Billing-related notices to Client will be addressed to the relevant billing contact designated by Client. All other notices to Client will be addressed to the Client system administrator designated by Client in the Platform or will be provided using banners or pop-ups within the Platform.
Force Majeure
In no event shall Company be liable, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Company’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, cyber attacks, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.
