Please be advised that we do not guarantee that any information sent to or from our Site will be secure during transmission, nor can we guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to us via the Site or the Internet, including personal information such as your name or address.
11. Limitation of Liability

    IN NO EVENT WILL IA BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN ACTUAL AND DIRECT DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL IA’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS FOUND TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF IA AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT EXCEED TEN U.S. DOLLARS ($10).

     

    IN AS MUCH AS PERMITTED BY LAW, IA AND IT AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES AND LICENSORS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS OR AGENTS OF ANY OF THEM, SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AMOUNT OR KIND OF LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT TO YOU OR A THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING ANY INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE, OR ANY LOSS OF INCOME, PROFITS, GOODWILL OR DATA) IN CONNECTION WITH (A) THE SITE, SITE CONTENT OR THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED ON OR THROUGH THE SITE IN ANY WAY OR (B) THE USE, INABILITY TO USE OR THE RESULTS OF USE OF THE SITE, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO THE SITE OR THE MATERIAL ON SUCH WEBSITES, INCLUDING LOSS OR DAMAGE DUE TO VIRUSES THAT MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, DATA OR OTHER PROPERTY ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF OR BROWSING OF THE SITE OR YOUR USE OF ANY SITE CONTENT OR ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO THE SITE; ALL THE FOREGOING REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT YOU OR WE HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR PROBABILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF THE REMEDIES OTHERWISE AVAILABLE FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SITE, SERVICES, OR WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS, OR FEEL WE HAVE BREACHED THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SITE.
12. Indemnification

    You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless IA, its parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors and suppliers, from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Site, products, and services; (b) your violation of any of these Terms or IA’s Privacy and Cookie Notice; (c) your fraud, violation of law, negligence, or willful misconduct; and (d) your violation of any third party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive the termination or cessation of these Terms and your use of the Site. IA reserves the right, at IA’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you hereunder, and you shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in such defense. You may not settle any claim that is referenced or otherwise covered by this Section without the prior written consent of IA.
13. Arbitration

    You and IA agree that any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, which cannot be resolved informally, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before one (1) arbitrator; provided, however, in the event that the dispute involves an allegation of liability in excess of $250,000 USD, three (3) arbitrators shall be used. Any dispute arising out of these Terms shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, 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; and an arbitrator must also follow and enforce these Terms, as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability and the scope or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. Arbitration shall take place in Pennsylvania, unless IA elects otherwise.

     

    All matters relating to the Site and these Terms 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 Pennsylvania, without giving effect to its choice or conflict of law provisions or rules. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of Pennsylvania. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different IA users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same IA user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

     

    You acknowledge and agree that you and IA are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. You further acknowledge and agree that you waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and IA otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.

     

    In the event this Section is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Section will survive termination of the Terms and your use of the Site.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
14. Operation of the Site and United States Law

    The Site is controlled and operated from within the United States. Without limiting anything else, IA makes no representation that the Site, Site Content, services, products, information, or other materials available on, in, or through the Site is appropriate or available for use outside the United States, and access to them from territories where they are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Site from outside the United States do so on their own will and are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
15. Complaint Policy

    If you believe that any content or posting on the Site violates your intellectual property or other rights, please notify IA at the email address set forth above, providing a comprehensive, detailed message setting forth the following information: (a) your name and the name of your company, if any; (b) your contact information, including your email address; (c) the nature and substance of your complaint, the specific rights at issue, and your basis for making the complaint, including the content or posting that is objectionable; and (d) the following statement: “The statements, representations, and assertions made in this message are true, complete, and accurate, and I have the full legal authority to make each and every such statement, representation, and assertion and to make and be granted any demand made in this message.”
16. Miscellaneous

    These Terms, and IA’s Privacy and Cookie Notice, constitute the entire legal agreement between you and IA regarding the Site and govern your use of the Site and any transactions you may have with IA through the Site. These Terms completely replace and supersede any prior agreement or understanding, arrangement, undertaking, or proposal, written or oral, between you and IA regarding these matters. In the event any other rule, code of conduct, or other matter posted on the Site conflicts with these Terms, these Terms shall govern. No oral explanation or oral information given by any party shall alter the interpretation of these Terms. When used herein, the words “includes” and “including” and their syntactical variations shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation.”

     

    You understand that IA may make changes to these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to these Terms will be considered your consent to those changes. When these changes are made, IA will make a new copy of the Terms available on the Site. You agree that IA is under no obligation to provide you with notices regarding changes to these Terms. You understand that it is your responsibility to check the Terms regularly for changes.

     

    You agree that any failure or delay by IA to exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy contained in or made available by these Terms (or that IA has the benefit of under any applicable law) will not be taken to be a formal waiver of IA’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to IA. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide a matter arising out of these Terms, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from these Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms and the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable.

     

    You hereby acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the whole, or any part of, the Site, without notice, and that we will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, to you or any other person or entity for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any such modifications or discontinuance.

    These Terms are binding upon you, your heirs, executors, beneficiaries, successors and assigns and you may not assign these Terms to any other party without our prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in our sole and absolute discretion.
