  1. Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability, and Other Information. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE LICENSED PRODUCT, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT COMPANY AND OUR AFFILIATES, AND OUR AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE, AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT OR ANY Company IP, CONTENT OR INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN ON OR THROUGH THE LICENSED PRODUCT OR ANY OTHER INTERACTION WITH US. IN DOING SO, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING VOLUNTARILY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY ANY LIABILITY OF US. If any exclusion, disclaimer or other provision contained in these Terms is held to be invalid for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction and or one of our affiliates, officers, directors, agents or employees becomes liable for loss or damage that could otherwise be limited, such liability whether in contract, tort or otherwise, will not exceed the amount actually paid by you for your use of the Licensed Product.

 

Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. We do not make any representation or warranty concerning errors, omissions, delays or other defects in the Company IP, or that the Licensed Product (including without limitation files or Company IP contained therein) is free of viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other code that include or manifest contaminating or destructive characteristics.

 

Any claim or cause of action arising out of your use of the Licensed Product or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or it shall forever be barred, notwithstanding any statute of limitations or other law to the contrary. Within this period, any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

 

  1. Dispute Resolution. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Licensed Product requires that such claim be resolved exclusively by confidential, binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A., in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as then in effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. The parties shall equally share all AAA charges and fees associated with the arbitration. Subject to these Terms, the arbitrators will have the authority to apportion liability between the parties but will not have the authority to award any damages or remedies not available under, or in excess of, the express terms of these Terms. The arbitration award will be presented to the parties in writing, and upon the request of either party, will include findings of fact and conclusions of law. The award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. With regards to any action for breach of confidentiality or intellectual property obligations, nothing in this Section shall preclude either party from seeking interim equitable relief in the form of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. Any such request by a party of a court for interim equitable relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate hereunder. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE LICENSED PRODUCT.

 

BECAUSE THE USE OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT REQUIRES THE ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES EXISTING BETWEEN THE PARTIES, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE IF SUCH PARTY WENT TO COURT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL, MAY BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

 

The award of the arbitrators may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereby consents (i) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Nashville, Tennessee, for any action (a) to compel arbitration, (b) to enforce any award of the arbitrators, or (c) at any time prior to the qualification and appointment of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim or provisional equitable remedies, and (ii) to service of process in any such action by registered mail or any other means provided by law. Should this Section 12 be deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, it shall be severed, and the parties agree that sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in the state or federal courts in Nashville, Tennessee, and each party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

 

  1. General. These Terms, and any Organization Agreement and/or any Business Associate Agreement entered into between your Organization and Company, are the entire agreement between your Organization and with respect to the Licensed Product and supersede all previous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, either oral or written, with respect to the Licensed Product or other subject matter covered by these Terms. If any part of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remainder of these Terms will remain fully in force. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Tennessee.
