-
Unless caused by its gross negligence or intentional misconduct, the Company, its
members, managers, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors,
content providers, and service providers will not be liable to you for any direct,
indirect, special (including so-called consequential damages), statutory, punitive, or
exemplary damages arising out of or relating to your access or your inability to access

-
If you are dissatisfied with the Website or have any other complaint, your exclusive
remedy is to terminate your account (if you have one) and stop using the Website. The
maximum liability of the Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents,
subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, content providers, and service providers to you for
any claim will not exceed the greater of $250 and the amount you have paid for the
applicable purchase out of which liability arose even if the remedy fails of its
essential purpose.
-
Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542—California Residents Only. With
respect to the releases of liability set out in this agreement, you acknowledge that you understand
the consequences of entering into the general release and discharge of all known and unknown claims
as stated in this agreement and that you are familiar with the provisions of section 1542 of the
California Civil Code, which provides that:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know
or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known
by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released
party.
You waive all rights under section 1542 and any other federal or state statutes or laws of
similar effect.
-
Scope of Disclaimers, Exclusions, and Limitations. The disclaimers, exclusions, and
limitations stated in sections 18, 19, and 20 apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no
more. We do not intend to deprive you of any mandatory protections provided to you by law. Because
some jurisdictions may prohibit the disclaimer of some warranties, the exclusion of some damages, or
other matters, one or more of the disclaimers, exclusions, or limitations will not apply to you.
-
Indemnification
-
In General. You will pay the Company, its members, managers, officers, employees,
agents, contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, content providers, and service
providers (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss of an Indemnified
Party that is caused by any of the following: (a) your access of, or conduct on, the
Website, including your User Contributions; (b) your conduct offline; (c) your breach of
this agreement; (d) your dispute with any other user, including any Creator; (e) your
violation of rights of any person, including intellectual property, publicity, and
privacy rights; (f) your violation of any applicable law; (g) your tortious acts or
omissions; or (h) your criminal acts or omissions. But you are not required to pay if
the loss was caused by the Indemnified Party’s intentional misconduct.
-
Definitions. “Loss” means an amount that the Indemnified Party is legally responsible
for or pays in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine,
damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses
for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert
witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily
injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any
other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages. A loss
is “caused by”an event if the loss would not have happened without the event, even if
the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
-
Indemnified Party’s Duty to Notify You. If the Indemnified Party has your contact
information, the Indemnified Party will notify you before the 30th day after the Indemnified
Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be
compelled to pay. But the Indemnified Party’s failure to give you timely notice does not end
your obligation, except if that failure prejudices your ability to defend or mitigate
losses.
-
Legal Defense of a Claim. The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim
for a loss (including settling it) unless the Indemnified Party directs you to control the
defense. If the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense, you will not settle
any litigation without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes
a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party’s fault,
or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. You and the Indemnified
Party will cooperate in good faith on a claim.
-
No Exclusivity. The Indemnified Parties’ rights under this section 23 do not affect
other rights they might have.
-
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
-
Delaware law governs all matters arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement
without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles. This agreement’s predominant
purpose is providing services and licensing access to intellectual property and not a “sale
of goods.” The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
will not govern this agreement, the application of which is expressly excluded.
-
Except for disputes subject to arbitration, all disputes arising out of or relating to the
Website or this agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any state court of competent
jurisdiction in Sussex County, Delaware. Each party submits to the personal jurisdiction of
the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the state courts of
competent jurisdiction in Sussex County, Delaware to resolve all disputes not subject to
arbitration. Each party waives any right to seek another forum or venue because of improper
or inconvenient forum.
-
Alternative Dispute Resolution
-
Arbitration.
All claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement
are to be settled by binding arbitration with Arbitration Resolution Services, Inc.
(ARS) (or a similar online dispute resolution provider if ARS is not available). The
parties will abide by all rules of ARS, as found on its website at
www.arbresolutions.com. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or
agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating
to the interpretation, enforceability, or formation of this agreement, including any
claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. Each party will be
responsible for paying any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with
the arbitration. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief that would be available in a
court at law or in equity, except that the arbitrator must not award punitive or
exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in this agreement. The
arbitrator’s award will include costs of arbitration, reasonable legal fees, and
reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Judgment on any award rendered in any
such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Unless required by
law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results
of any arbitration under this agreement without the parties’ prior written
consent.
-
Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that breach by either party of the
obligations under this agreement could cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an
inadequate remedy. Nothing in this section 25 will prevent either party from seeking
injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security,
intellectual property, or unauthorized access to the Website, in each case without posting a
bond or other security and without proof of actual money damages in connection with the
claim.
-
Recovery of Expenses. In any proceedings between the parties arising out of this
agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the Prevailing Party
will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all
expenses that the Prevailing Party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and
expenses. For purposes of this section 25.3, “Prevailing Party” means, for any proceeding,
the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award
finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other
party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the Prevailing
Party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement
of that dispute, neither party will be the Prevailing Party in those proceedings.
-
Jury Trial Waiver.
Each party waives its right to a jury trial in proceedings arising out of or relating to
this agreement. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day
of trial.
-
Class Action Waiver.
All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff
or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless we
agree otherwise, the arbitrator will not consolidate more than one person’s claims. Both
parties acknowledge that each party is waiving the right to participate in a class
action.
-
Limitation on Time to Bring Claims.
A party will not file a claim arising out of or relating to the Website or this
agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after
one year is barred.
