‍
Limitation of Liability

You agree that we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, resulting from the use of or the inability to use the Website, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, use, data or other intangible, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Arbitration

Any claim, dispute or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this User Agreement, including, without limitation, any action or claim based on tort, contract or statute (including any claims of breach), or concerning the interpretation, effect, termination, validity, performance and/or breach of this User Agreement (“Claim”), shall be resolved by final, binding and confidential arbitration (“Arbitration”) before a single arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) selected from and administered by JAMS, Inc. (the “Administrator”) in accordance with its then existing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The Arbitration shall be held in Seattle, Washington. Depositions may be taken and full discovery may be obtained in any Arbitration commenced under this provision. The Arbitrator shall, within 15 calendar days after the conclusion of the Arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized to: (a) award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, pain and suffering or loss of consortium, (b) award punitive damages or (c) reform, modify or materially change this User Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder; provided that the damage limitations described in clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence will not apply if such damages are statutorily imposed. The Arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief he or she deems just and equitable and within the scope of this User Agreement, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements arising out of the Arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator; provided that the Arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a party is substantially the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that substantially prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator. Absent the filing of an application to correct or vacate the Arbitration award under Title 10 of the Delaware Code Sections 5713 through 5717, each party shall fully perform and satisfy the Arbitration award within 15 days of the service of the award. By agreeing to this binding Arbitration provision, the parties understand that they are waiving certain rights and protections that may otherwise be available if a Claim between the parties were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this paragraph 10, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence. This paragraph 10 shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including, to the extent applicable, the Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”). If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this paragraph 10 shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, to the extent applicable, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this paragraph 10. In that case, this paragraph 10 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this paragraph 10 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.
