13.Governing law

Nevada law governs these Terms.

These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

14.Dispute resolution

Informal negotiation first; then binding arbitration.

Informal negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively "Disputes") brought by either you or us (each a "Party," collectively the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days before initiating arbitration. Informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other.

Binding arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those expressly excluded below) will be resolved by binding arbitration. You understand that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes.

The arbitration may be conducted in person, by submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will issue a decision in writing. The arbitration will take place in Nevada, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Either Party may petition a court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the arbitrator's award.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

Restrictions

Any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or using class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations or binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to or arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.

15.Corrections

The site may contain typos. We may fix them.

The Services may contain information that includes typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

17.Limitation of liability

Our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

In no event will we or our directors, employees, contributors, or agents be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit, lost revenue, loss of data, or other damages arising from your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, our liability to you for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action will at all times be limited to the greater of (a) the amount paid, if any, by you to us during the three (3) month period prior to any cause of action arising, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100.00).

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

18.Indemnification

You agree to defend us against claims arising from your use of the Services.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless — including our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, partners, and employees — from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your use of the Services; (2) your breach of these Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services.

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim upon becoming aware of it.

22.Miscellaneous

Standard cleanup clauses.

These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.
