TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE, APPS, SUBMISSIONS, THE CONTENT AND ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, DURABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, FREEDOM FROM ERRORS, OMISSIONS, COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS OR UNAUTHORIZED CODE OR PROGRAMS, AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

  1. Limitation of Liability.

SUBJECT TO THE MANDATES OF APPLICABLE LAW, COMPANY AND ITS PARENT, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS AND THIRD PARTY PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLIED OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, OR FAILURE TO REALIZE EXPECTED SAVINGS, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER THEORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOSS OR OTHER DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY UNAVAILABILITY OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THE SITE, APPS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS, VIRUSES AND MALICIOUS CODE, UNLESS SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES ARE CAUSED DIRECTLY BY COMPANY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PRICE PAID BY YOU FOR THE  PRODUCT OR SERVICE IN  QUESTION.

  1. Dispute Resolution.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any and all disputes (hereinafter referred to as “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively and finally using binding arbitration that will only be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, representative or similar action. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, the discovery and other procedures are more limited and less formal, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court in an individual proceeding (including attorney’s fees).

Be on notice that unless stated otherwise herein accepting these Terms of Use constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate the Dispute in any court, the opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury, and the ability to proceed in a class, consolidated, representative or similar action.

  1. Governing Law

Any Dispute arising under or related to these Terms of Use shall  be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts without application of that state’s conflict of law rules.

  1. Claims limitation Period

You agree that by using Company’s  Site, Apps, or Services  that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Company must be filed within (1) one year after such claim arises or be considered, thereafter, permanently barred.

  1. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

Before you can commence any proceeding concerning a Dispute, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute by hard copy or e-mail notification that contains the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of what constitutes the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If we do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving your notification, then you may demand  the Dispute is resolved by Arbitration, unless you have opted out of arbitration as provided under the “Right to Opt-Out” section described immediately below.

  1. Right to Opt-Out

Notwithstanding the mandate to resolve disputes  by arbitration, you may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if you opt out of arbitration within 30 days from the date that you first consent to these Terms of Use (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). To opt out of arbitration, simply email us with the following information: (1) your name; (2) your address; and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with us through arbitration. Please be assured that any decision to opt out of arbitration will have no adverse effect on your relationship with us. Be advised that the Opt-Out Deadline cannot be modified or extended so that an Op-Out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you will be required to pursue litigation of any Dispute in arbitration.

  1. Arbitration Procedures

If the Dispute is not resolved as provided under Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution, either you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of the arbitration provisions contained in these Terms of Use.

The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. These Terms of Use govern in the event of any conflict with the applicable arbitration rules.

Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration, and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Disputes or otherwise preside over any form of a class, consolidated, representative or similar action, unless both you and we specifically agree following initiation of the arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, be closed to the public, and  shall be considered confidential. All related records shall be considered confidential and permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award.

The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) may govern the arbitrability of Disputes. In that event,  the arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA.

Notwithstanding the dispute resolution procedures described above, nothing herein will preclude us from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration (such as orders to stay a court action or compel arbitration), temporary restraining orders or similar relief, or redress for potential violations of our intellectual property rights, from any court of competent jurisdiction.

  1. Arbitration Award

The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law and will not have the power to award relief to, against, or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will render an award in writing but shall not be required to provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. An Arbitration Award will be considered be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction for purposes of enforcement.

  1. Location of Arbitration

Unless we mutually agree on a different location, arbitration shall occur in Boston, Massachusetts. You hereby waive any right to object to the jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenience of the selected  forum.

To minimize the costs and burdens associated with arbitration, you and we agree that the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, virtually and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. You and we further agree that the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties or directed by the arbitrator.

  1. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs

So long as you place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, we will pay all arbitration filing, administration and arbitrator fees and associated costs and expenses in any Dispute involving claims totaling less than $10,000. You will be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including the fees and costs of any attorney or expert witness you use. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

  1. Waiver of Class Action, Jury and Other Rights

You acknowledge and agree that, subject to your ability to pursue a Dispute in court by complying with the procedures above under “Right to Opt-Out,” your acceptance of these Terms of Use constitutes your waiver of certain rights, including your right to litigate a Dispute in a public forum before a judge or jury; your ability to participate in a class, consolidated, representative or similar action; your ability to conduct discovery and other procedures except under AAA rules; and your right to certain remedies.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity of any other provision. Should a tribunal or court determine that by modifying the language of a  provision that its invalidity, illegality or unenforceability may be cured, such language shall be deemed so modified. Any headings or titles provided herein are for the convenience of the reader only and shall not be considered in interpreting the construction of these Terms of Use.

The official language of these Terms of Use exclusively shall be, and all communications and agreements between Company and you, and any proceedings in connection with these Terms of Use and/or your use of the Site and Apps, exclusively shall be the English language. You waive any rights you may have under any other law to have the foreign language version of these Terms of Use govern.
