Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, in such jurisdictions some or all of the above disclaimers or exclusions may not apply and liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

10.  Indemnification.  By using the Services, you agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Releasees from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and all costs and expenses of defense, including but not limited to, attorneys' fees, resulting directly or indirectly from a claim (including without limitation, claims made by third parties for infringement of intellectual property rights) by a third party that arises in connection with (i) your use or misuse of the Services; (ii) your breach of the Terms of Use; (iii) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or (iv) your Submissions.

YOU AND M. GEMI ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN YOUR OR M. GEMI'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND IN SO DOING YOU AND M.

b.  Process.  Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law.  The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  Except as modified by these Terms of Use, and unless agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”). The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless your claim is valued at more than $75,000, M. Gemi waives the right to recover an award of attorney's fees and expenses against you.  You agree that, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Claim you have must be commenced within one (1) year after the Claim arises.  For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

c.  Location of Arbitration.  Arbitration may be initiated in either Massachusetts or the county in which you reside. In the event that you select the county of your residence, M. Gemi or the applicable Releasee may transfer the arbitration to Massachusetts if it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location in such amounts as determined by the arbitrator.

d.  Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, either you or M. Gemi may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret will not be subject to this arbitration provision. Any dispute not subject to arbitration will be exclusively brought (unless such courts do not have personal jurisdiction in the dispute) in the courts located in Boston, Massachusetts. Additionally, notwithstanding this arbitration provision, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before such courts in order to maintain the status quo pending the arbitrator’s ruling, and hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

 

12.  Governing Law.  These Terms of Use (together with the Privacy Policy) and any Claims shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

 

13.  Notice.  We may give notice to you by email, a posting on the Site or other reasonable means. You must give notice to us in writing via email to assistant@mgemi.com or as otherwise expressly provided.

 

14.  Miscellaneous.  These Terms of Use are personal to you, and you may not transfer, assign or delegate your right and/or duties under these Terms of Use to anyone else and any attempted assignment or delegation is void. The paragraph headings in these Terms of Use are included only to help make these Terms of Use easier to read and have no binding effect. Any delay or failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by us will have effect unless such waiver is set forth in writing, signed by us; nor will any such waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. These Terms of Use constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings, communications or agreements. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Use, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the Terms of Use will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect. Sections 1 – 4 and 7 – 14 will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms of Use or your right to use the Services for any reason.

Please report any violations of these Terms of Use to assistant@mgemi.com.
