12. Limitation of Liability

In no event will we or our third-party service providers be liable to you for any incidental, special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages whatsoever, arising out of or related to the Application or these Terms, regardless of the cause of the damages or the theory of liability, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed, or emotional distress), product liability, strict liability or any other theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations of this section may not apply to you.

15. Export Regulation

The Application may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. You shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Application to, or make the Application accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. You shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Application available outside the US.

16. US Government Rights

The Application is commercial computer software, as such term is defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101. Accordingly, if you are an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, you receive only those rights with respect to the Application as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.

17. Arbitration

This provision requires you and us to arbitrate certain disputes and limits the manner in which both parties can seek relief. Please read it carefully. Arbitration prevents either party from suing the other party in court or from having a jury trial.

You and we agree to arbitrate any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or related to these Terms or the Application, except that neither you nor we shall be required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and/or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property rights. Arbitration will be conducted confidentially in Boston, Massachusetts, by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law, and the award and determination of the arbitrator will bind the parties and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will equally share the expenses of the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines to apportion fees and expenses differently. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, no arbitration or claim under these terms will be joined to any other arbitration or claim, including any arbitration or claim involving any other current or former user of the Application, and neither you nor we will commence against the other a class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.

18. Miscellaneous. 

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The state and federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit in connection with the Application or these Terms that is not subject to arbitration, and you and we hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. If a party initiates any proceeding regarding these Terms and such proceeding is not subject to arbitration, the prevailing party to such proceeding is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for claims arising out of these Terms.

Enforcement and Waiver. The restrictions and other provisions in these Terms apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Please report any violations of these Terms by emailing us at hello@negotiation-360.com. You may expose yourself to liability if, for example, User Content you submit contains material that violates any of the restrictions listed above. Without limiting the foregoing, if you violate (or are alleged to have violated) any such restrictions, your license to use the Application will immediately and automatically terminate without notice, and we may delete your account and pursue any remedy available to us under these Terms and applicable law. We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to investigate any violation of such restrictions or other misuse of the Application or breach of these Terms. Enforcement of these Terms is solely at our discretion, and failure to enforce these Terms in any instance does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce these Terms in any other instance. Nothing in these Terms creates any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation that the Application will be free from conduct or content that violates the such restrictions.

Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without our prior written. Any attempted or purported assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. These Terms will be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective heirs and assigns.

Electronic Communications. You agree to receive electronically all current and future notices, disclosures, communications and information from us and that such electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. An electronic notice will be deemed to have been received on the day of receipt as evidenced by such email.

Entire Agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Notice constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Application and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the Application. 

Headings. Headings of sections are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other provisions of these Terms will nonetheless remain in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be construed so as to give the closest possible valid, legal and enforceable meaning to the original intent of the parties.

Survival. Sections 7-19 will survive any termination of these Terms.
