INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, licensors, service providers, and their respective officers, managers, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website other than as expressly authorized herein.

GOVERNING LAW & VENUE

All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

Subject to the agreement to arbitrate below, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in New York County, New York, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event of any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to any transaction conducted on the Website, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days to respond or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent (a) to the Company at 1040 1st Avenue #306, New York, NY 10022, and (b) to you at the address you provided to the Company.

Both you and the Company agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

If you cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, the Dispute shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration. You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement. You and the Company expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine arbitrability, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

You may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending a letter requesting arbitration to the Company. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling (800) 778-7879. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. The Company will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) if the arbitrator rules in your favor on any material aspect of your claim. The Company waives its right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration. However, if your claim is deemed frivolous or brought in bad faith, as measured by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, the arbitrator may award the Company reimbursement of its costs and arbitration fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

In lieu of arbitration, either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court consistent with applicable jurisdictional and dollar limits, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim.

This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and shall survive termination of this Agreement or your use of the Website. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTIONS AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS.

All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator may resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court; however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and the Company each waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to assert or participate in any class action lawsuit, class action arbitration, or any joint or consolidated proceeding of any kind. If a court determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular cause of action, that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration.

TERMINATION

These Terms of Use are effective unless and until terminated by either you or the Company. You may terminate at any time. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice and deny you access to the Website if, in our sole judgment, you fail to comply with any term of this Agreement. The Arbitration Agreement and all obligations and liabilities incurred prior to termination shall survive.

MISCELLANEOUS

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition, and any failure to assert a right or provision shall not constitute a waiver thereof.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

These Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Website and supersede all prior understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties regarding the Website.

We will not be liable for any delay or failure in performance due to causes beyond our reasonable control.

We may assign our rights and obligations under this Agreement, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law.
