IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER AS A RESULT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OF A BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT INCLUDE DAMAGES FOR ANY PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, INJURIES TO PROPERTY AND LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESULT OF: (I) YOUR BREACH OR VIOLATION OF ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF THESE TERMS; (II) YOUR ACCESS AND USE OF OUR PRODUCTS, OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, YOUR ACCOUNT, OR ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS PROVIDED BY US TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS; (III) YOUR DELAY IN ACCESSING OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE OUR PRODUCTS, OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, YOUR ACCOUNT, OR ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS PROVIDED BY US TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS FOR ANY REASON; (IV) YOUR DOWNLOADING OR USE OF ANY OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR INFORMATION OR MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE BY US TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS; (V) YOUR RELIANCE ON OR USE OF OUR PRODUCTS, OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, YOUR ACCOUNT, OR ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS PROVIDED BY US TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS; (VI) ANY THIRD PARTY’S USE OF OUR PRODUCTS, OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, YOUR ACCOUNT, OR ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS PROVIDED BY US TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS ON YOUR BEHALF; (VII) THE BREACH OF OUR SECURITY AND UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION; OR (VIII) ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS OBTAINED ON OR THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OUR PRODUCTS OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN EACH CASE, EVEN IF WE OR OUR AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, VENDORS, SUPPLIERS OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE THIRD PARTY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED $100.

YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY, AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. IN ADDITION, YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES OF ACTIONS YOU TAKE OR FAIL TO TAKE BASED ON THIRD PARTY CONDUCT, INCLUDING DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM SUCH ACTIONS OR INACTIONS RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO OUR PRODUCTS, OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, YOUR ACCOUNT, OR ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS PROVIDED BY US TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS MUST COMMENCE WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these state laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.

In the event that any limitation on the period of time for bringing an action, claim, dispute or proceeding against us, located in this “Limitations on Our Liability” section, is determined or held to be inapplicable or unenforceable by any court, arbitration panel or other tribunal, then the statute of limitations for the State of Florida, including Chapter 95, Florida Statutes, will apply to any such action, claim, dispute or proceeding referred to final or binding arbitration.

9. Your Release and Indemnification of Us

You are solely and absolutely responsible for and hereby release and covenant and agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents and representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or attributable to: (i) any breach or violation of these Terms by you or your representatives; (ii) your use, storage or application of our Products; (iii) your access or use of our Intellectual Property Rights, your Account, or any information or materials provided by us to you under these Terms; (iv) access or use of your Account under any password that may be issued to you; (v) any orders for Products placed on or through your Account; or (vi) any personal injury, property damage, emotional distress or other harm caused by you.

10. Governing Law

10.1        Florida Law is the Applicable Law. These Terms as well as any dispute related to or arising from these Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

11. Our Remedies

11.1        Availability of Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that we will suffer irreparable harm if you fail to strictly adhere to, breach, or threaten to breach any of the Terms set forth herein, such that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in such event, we will be entitled, in addition to all other available rights and remedies, to the entry of an injunction immediately restraining such activity, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree mandating specific performance of the provision(s) at issue.

11.2        Choice of Forum and Consent to Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding for injunctive relief pursuant to paragraph 11.1 will be brought in the courts of record of Palm Beach County, Florida, or the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Palm Beach County Division. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. We may effect service of any court paper on you by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, regulations, rules of procedure or local rules. Any party who unsuccessfully challenges the enforceability of this forum selection clause shall reimburse the prevailing party for its attorney’s fees.

11.3        Liquidated Damages. In the event that you sell or offer for sale any Product through any unauthorized website, in violation of paragraph 1.3 of these Terms, and in addition to any other remedies available to us, you hereby agree to pay to us one thousand United States dollars ($1,000.00) for each unit of Product sold or offered for sale in such manner. You hereby waive any defense to our right to obtain liquidated damages on the basis that actual damages are calculable or that the liquidated damages do not represent a reasonable determination of our damages or otherwise constitute a penalty.

11.4        Court Proceedings Relating to Seller Identification. Nothing in this agreement is intended to or shall preclude our ability to commence an action in a court of law for purposes of ascertaining the identity of any unauthorized seller of our Products.

12. Legal Disputes

With the exception of those actions and/or claims described in Section 11 above, any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of these Terms, your use of or access to our Products, our Intellectual Property Rights, your Account, or any information or materials provided by us to you under these Terms, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this “Legal Disputes” section. Please read this “Legal Disputes” section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

12.1        Agreement to Arbitrate. Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this or any previous version of these Terms, your use of or access to our Products, our Intellectual Property Rights, your Account, or any information or materials provided by us to you under these Terms will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, rather than in court.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of these Terms as a court would.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, and to arbitrate any part of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of the this section or these Terms is void or voidable.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) exclusively in Palm Beach County, Florida, under the AAA’s rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this section. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org.

You and we will select the arbitrator, and if you and we are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the AAA will select the arbitrator. Arbitration will not commence until the party requesting arbitration has deposited U.S. $1,000 with the arbitrator for the arbitrator’s fees and costs. The party requesting arbitration will advance such sums as are required from time to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive upon you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may only be entered in the state or federal courts of record for Palm Beach County, Florida.

12.2        Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.

THEREFORE, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS AND YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. BY PURCHASING PRODUCTS OR ESTABLISHING AN ACCOUNT, YOU CONSENT TO THESE RESTRICTIONS.

12.3        Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. In the event that any provision of this section is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Palm Beach County, Florida. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Palm Beach County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

13. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under applicable law, such provision will be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder of these Terms will not be invalidated thereby and will be given full force and effect so far as possible. If any provision of these Terms may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable.

For purposes of these Terms, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the word “or” is not exclusive. The headings contained in these Terms are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of these Terms, and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of these Terms.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in these Terms, as may be amended by us, from time to time, will survive your acceptance of these Terms and the termination of these Terms.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or any power set forth in these Terms by us will operate as a waiver of such right or power, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power under these Terms by us preclude further exercise of that or any other right or power under these Terms.

We may update, amend or change these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. Amendments will take effect immediately upon us posting such updates on our website. We encourage you to periodically check these Terms for changes, as your continued access and use of our Products, our Intellectual Property Rights, your Account, or any information or materials provided by us to you under these Terms following the posting of any changes will automatically be deemed your acceptance of all changes. If you do not agree to any change to these Terms, you must discontinue using our Products, our Intellectual Property Rights, your Account and any information or materials provided by us to you under these Terms. These Terms replace all previous notices or statements with respect to this subject, and cannot be modified orally or in writing by any of our associates, representatives or any other third parties.

We may give, assign or transfer our rights or obligations under these Terms to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not give, assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to any person or entity without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole and absolute discretion. Any attempt to assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent will be void.

These Terms (together, with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, including our Privacy Policy) represent the entire understanding and agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede all other previous agreements, understandings or representations regarding these Terms.
