To the maximum extent permitted by law and except as otherwise prohibited by law, in no event shall we or our partners, employees, or business partners (collectively, the “Related Parties”) be liable to you based on or related to the materials, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and they shall not be responsible for any losses or damages, including without limitation direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary or special damages arising out of or in any way connected with access to or use of the Website or Materials, even if we or Related Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This provision applies only to damages arising from the use of the Website and Materials and does not apply to personal injury or any injury caused by alleged fraud.

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or your use of the Website and/or Materials.

  1. Disputes, Governing Law, and Jurisdiction
  2. You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Website, Materials, or any service provided by us will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small-claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.
  3. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
  4. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our address specified in the Notice section below.
  5. Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
  6. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we both agree that we have each waived any right to a jury trial.
  7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
  8. Any dispute or alleged claim you may have with respect to your access or use of the Website or Materials must be commenced within one year after the occurrence of the events leading to the dispute or alleged claim.
  9. The laws of the State of New Jersey shall govern this Agreement. Any arbitration shall be held in Newark, New Jersey (the “Dispute Resolution Location”). To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website may be brought by you only in a state or federal court located in the Dispute Resolution Location. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION LOCATION.
  10. General
  11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found for any reason to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be given its maximum enforceable effect or shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision.
  12. Revisions. This Agreement may be revised only in writing signed by us, or posted by us to the Website or Materials. In the event that we update this Agreement and you are made aware of the update, your continued use of the Website or Materials after the update shall constitute an agreement to the updated terms.
  13. No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Website or Materials.
  14. Assignment. We may assign our rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without our prior written consent. Any unauthorized assignment shall be null and void.
  15. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by us of any provision, condition, or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition, or requirement.
  16. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that we would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of irreparable harm or other damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
  17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Website and Materials and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral, or written.
  18. Notices. All notices given by you or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to PRB Attorneys at Law, LLC, One Gateway Center, Suite 2600, Newark, New Jersey 07102; Attn: sburns@prbattorneys.com.
