Release and Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release, waive, and forever discharge the Company, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from, and covenant not to sue any Released Party for, any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of the Website or its content, except to the extent any such claim results from a Released Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or is otherwise a claim that may not be released or waived under applicable law.
Because this release covers claims that you may not know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to these Terms of Service, and that, if known, might have affected your decision to agree, you expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under California Civil Code Section 1542, and under any similar law of any state, territory, or other jurisdiction, to the fullest extent permitted by law. California Civil Code Section 1542 provides:
“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 acknowledge that you have read and understand this waiver and knowingly and voluntarily agree to it.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Service or your use of the Website, including, but not limited to, any use of the Website’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Service, or your use of any information obtained from the Website.
Class Action and Representative Action Waiver
This waiver applies in all forums, including both court and arbitration, and applies regardless of whether the Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration section below applies to a particular Dispute.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION. Unless both you and the Company agree otherwise in writing, no court or arbitrator may consolidate or join more than one person’s claims, and no court or arbitrator may otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding.
If, in any particular case, a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines that this Class Action and Representative Action Waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) will be severed and must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the County of Ventura, California, and not in arbitration, while all other claims will continue to be resolved as provided in these Terms of Service. The parties intend this Class Action and Representative Action Waiver to be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
Informal resolution first. Before initiating any arbitration or other proceeding, you agree to first contact us and provide a written description of the dispute and your contact information, and to give us at least sixty (60) days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. This requirement is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration.
Agreement to arbitrate. Except for the Excluded Claims described below, you and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the Website, including its existence, interpretation, breach, validity, enforceability, or termination (a “Dispute”), that is not resolved informally will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Excluded Claims. Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, the following are not subject to arbitration and may be brought only in the state or federal courts located in the County of Ventura, California (the “Excluded Claims”):
- Any claim for defamation, libel, slander, trade libel, false light, invasion of privacy, publicity rights, or any other claim arising out of or relating to content published, displayed, or made available by the Company on or through the Website (collectively, “Publication-Based Claims”).
- Any claim seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
- Any individual claim brought in small claims court, so long as it remains an individual action in that court.
The Class Action and Representative Action Waiver above applies to the Excluded Claims and to all other claims, whether brought in court or in arbitration.
Arbitration procedure. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms of Service. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. Unless you and the Company agree otherwise, any in-person arbitration hearing will take place in Ventura County, California; you may also elect to participate by telephone, videoconference, or through document submissions where the AAA rules permit. The arbitrator’s award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Jury trial waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE EXCLUDED CLAIMS.
Severability. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section (other than the Class Action and Representative Action Waiver, which is governed by its own terms) is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of this section will continue to apply.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Service, 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 the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction). You agree that California law governs regardless of where you reside or access the Website.
Subject to the Class Action and Representative Action Waiver and the Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration section above, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Service or the Website (including any Excluded Claims) shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California, in each case located in the County of Ventura, California. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts, and you waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts, including any objection based on inconvenient forum. This provision applies regardless of where you are located.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Attorneys’ Fees
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any action, arbitration, or proceeding to enforce or arising out of these Terms of Service, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the non-prevailing party, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. This provision does not limit any statutory right to recover attorneys’ fees, including under California’s anti-SLAPP statute (California Code of Civil Procedure Section 425.16).
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court, arbitrator, or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, then that provision shall be reformed and construed to the maximum extent permitted by law so as to give effect to the intent of the provision, and, if it cannot be so reformed, shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision in any jurisdiction.
Survival
The provisions of these Terms of Service that by their nature should survive termination or expiration will survive, including, without limitation, Nature of the Website; No Professional Advice, Intellectual Property Rights, Assumption of Risk, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation on Liability, Release and Waiver, Indemnification, Class Action and Representative Action Waiver, Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration, Governing Law and Jurisdiction, Limitation on Time to File Claims, Attorneys’ Fees, and this Survival section.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Service, or any of your rights or obligations under them, without our prior written consent, and any purported assignment in violation of this provision is void. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms of Service and our rights and obligations under them, in whole or in part, without restriction or notice to you. These Terms of Service bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries
Except for the Released Parties and the persons and entities entitled to indemnification, disclaimer, or limitation of liability under these Terms of Service (each of whom may enforce the applicable provisions), these Terms of Service are for the sole benefit of you and the Company and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any other person or entity.
Force Majeure
We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations that is caused by events outside our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, failures of telecommunications or internet service providers, hosting or infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, government actions, or other events beyond our reasonable control.
