NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY COMPANY, ITS EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTIES BY OR ON BEHALF OF COMPANY. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
  9. Limitation of Liability.
    1. LIMITATION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES BY LIABILE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH OR OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PORTAL, ANY SERVICES, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
    2. AGGREGATE LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR DAMAGES EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF TEN DOLLARS ($10.00 USD). THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. YOU AGREE THAT THE FREE ACCESS TO THE PORTAL REFLECTS THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPANY WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
  10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This TOU shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to that State’s conflict of law principles. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or action under this TOU or related in any way to Company’s operation or your use of the Portal, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that Company may seek injunctive remedies (or equivalent legal relief) against you in any jurisdiction with regard to any breach by you of the terms of this TOU. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this TOU or for your use of the Portal.
  11. Severability. If any provision of the TOU is held, by a court of binding jurisdiction, to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the TOU will remain in full force and effect.
  12. Assignment.  You may not assign or transfer the TOU nor any rights or obligations that you have under the TOU to anyone without Company’s written approval. Company may freely assign the TOU or transfer any of its rights under the TOU.
  13. Arbitration Agreement
    1. APPLICABILITY OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Any dispute, claim or controversy of any nature arising out of or relating in any way to the Portal, the TOU, or this Arbitration Agreement, including the interpretation, validity, scope, or applicability of the TOU or the Arbitration Agreement (hereinafter, collectively, the “Dispute”), which cannot be resolved informally, shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual, and not a class or representative, basis under the terms set forth in this Section 14 (the “Arbitration Agreement”). This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Company (collectively, the “Parties”) and the Parties’ subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors in interest, and assigns. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE, AND MAY HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INVOLVING MULTIPLE CLAIMANTS, BUT THEY INSTEAD CHOOSE AND AGREE TO HAVE ALL DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN DECIDED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. 
    2. DISPUTES EXCLUDED FROM ARBITRATION.  In the event of any actual, alleged, or threatened violation of Company confidentiality or violation of Company’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights, Company may immediately resort to court proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth above in order to seek immediate injunctive relief without posting of a bond, proof of damages, or other similar requirement. The institution of any action for injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.  
    3. CONFIDENTIAL PROCEEDINGS. The Parties expressly agree that any and all actions taken under the Arbitration Agreement and related provisions, including but not limited to all filings, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party, except as may be required by law.
    4. RULES AND FEES. The arbitration proceeding will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. Company will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. Any final award or judgment may be filed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Further, unless both You and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate one or more person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. 
    5. PLACE AND GOVERNING LAW. The place of arbitration shall be in Jackson County, Missouri, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties to the arbitration. The Parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., as may be amended from time to time, shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent state law is applicable, the laws of the State of Missouri shall apply without regard to conflict of laws provisions.    
    6. TIME LIMITATION ON CLAIMS. The Parties agree that they must initiate arbitration within one (1) year after any Dispute arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred. 
  14. Interpretation; Entire Agreement. Headings in these TOU will not affect the interpretation of these TOU. In these TOU, the words “include” and “exclude” and their variants are not words of limitation, and examples are for illustration and not limitation. This TOU constitutes the entire Agreement between you and Company regarding the Portal and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, or understandings respecting the Portal. Nobody, including any representative of Company, is authorized to make any changes or modifications to the terms of this Agreement other than changes that are instituted through the authorized posting of subsequent versions of this agreement as discussed above. You are not entitled to act or rely on any representations to the contrary. A failure by Company to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or waiver by Company of any breach of this Agreement, shall not act as a bar to subsequent enforcement of such provision or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
