(each, “App Provider”), will not be responsible for any damages arising out of the failure of a Denetra Blackshear Service to operate as intended.

When accessing any Denetra Blackshear Services by or through an App Provider, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) these Terms are concluded between you and Denetra Blackshear, and not with the App Provider, and that we are solely responsible for any Denetra Blackshear Services (such as mobile applications), and not the App Provider; (ii) the App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to any Denetra Blackshear Services; (iii) in the event of any failure of the Denetra Blackshear Services to conform to any applicable warranty: (a) you may notify the App Provider and the App Provider will refund the purchase price for the Denetra Blackshear Services to you (if applicable); (b) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Denetra Blackshear Services; and (c) any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our responsibility; (iv) the App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to any Denetra Blackshear Services or your possession and use of the Denetra Blackshear Services, including without limitation: (d) product liability claims; (e) any claim that the Denetra Blackshear Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (f) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; (v) in the event of any third party claim that the Denetra Blackshear Service or your possession and use of the same infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms; (vi) the App Provider and its subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as it relates to your license of the Denetra Blackshear Services, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary thereof; and (vii) you must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using the Denetra Blackshear Services.

Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT WILL Denetra Blackshear BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SITE, APP, SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT Denetra Blackshear ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE TERMS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS.

Governing Law.

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Denetra Blackshear agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Los Angeles County, California for the purpose of arbitration, litigation, and all other dispute resolution.

 

General.

These Terms, together with any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Denetra Blackshear, regarding your use of and access to the Site, App, and Service, and except as expressly permitted above may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to these Terms. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms or any provision of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, any provision that by its nature or express terms should survive will survive such termination or expiration.

 

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.

YOU AGREE THAT THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ABRITRATION PROVISION IS IMPORTANT. You and Denetra Blackshear Agree to these Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provisions replace and substantially limit, or eliminate, your right to litigate these cases in federal or state courts, except limited grounds for enforcing the arbitration award. YOU AND Denetra Blackshear AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR Denetra Blackshear FOR (i) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION, (ii) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (iii) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, AND (iv) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION. Moreover, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, you agree that a court, not the arbitrator, may decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.

18.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes expeditiously and cost effectively, you and Denetra Blackshear agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with the Site, App, Services, Materials, or otherwise related shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration shall occur in Los Angeles, CA and be conducted by one neutral arbitrator. Arbitration may allow for more limited discovery than court and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, and any court of competent jurisdiction may enforce a ruling by the Arbitrator. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes disputes based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY USING THE SERVICES, SITE, OR APP YOU AND Denetra Blackshear ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN ADDITION TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED WITHIN THESE TERMS.

18.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 18.1, we and you both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions related to Trade Secret Misappropriation, Patent Infringement, Copyright Infringement or Misuse, and Trademark Infringement or Dilution through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available (“Intellectual Property Infringement Claims”), (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address Intellectual Property Infringement Claims.

18.3 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Denetra Blackshear will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Denetra Blackshear.

18.4 Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Denetra Blackshear, may commence an arbitration proceeding. Any action filed in any court shall be required to be dismissed in lieu of binding arbitration in accordance with these Terms.

18.5 Hearing. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Los Angeles County, California provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. The payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

18.6 No Class Actions. YOU AND Denetra Blackshear 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 OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Denetra Blackshear agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

18.7 Modifications. In the event that we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to our address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice, in which case your account with us shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, shall survive.

18.8 Enforceability. If any Subsection of these Terms, or a portion of any Subsection, is found to be unenforceable, then that Subsection, or the portion thereof found to be unenforceable, shall be stricken and the remainder of these Terms enforceable unless the stricken section materially changes the intent of the parties. Regardless, if the entirety of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 18 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
