‍You agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend us, and our affiliates and licensors, and each of their respective officers, directors, contractors, agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all demands, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, interest, penalties, losses, costs, expenses and harms, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of other professional advisers, arising out of or in connection with (i) your use of the Services, (ii) your online conduct, (iii) your violation or breach of these Terms of Use, (iv) your failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, (v) your negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of the intellectual property or other rights of any person, or (vi) any of your dealings or transactions with other persons resulting from use of the Services. You shall not settle any such claim without our prior written consent. These obligations will survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

‍No Waiver
‍Our failure to enforce any provisions of the Terms of Use or respond to a breach by you or other parties shall not in any way waive our right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of the Terms of Use or to act with respect to similar breaches.

‍Assignment and Binding Effects
‍You cannot assign these Terms of Use, or any rights or obligations herein, to any other person or entity and any attempted assignment in contravention of this provision is null and void and of no force or effect. We reserve the right to assign these Terms of Use, and any of its rights or obligations herein. These Terms of Use are binding upon each party and its respective successors, heirs, trustees, administrators, executors and permitted assigns.

‍Location, Governing Law, Arbitration, and Time Period Limitation for Bringing Claim
‍These Terms of Use are governed by, and must be construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States and the STATE OF NEW YORK, as applicable, without giving effect to their principles of conflicts of law. By using the Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other states, countries, territories or jurisdictions.

With respect to any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms of Use (including without limitation the Privacy Policy), the parties agree to negotiate in good faith and undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another in order to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution. If we do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this section. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither party will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

All parties agree that all disputes arising under these Terms of Use that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be settled exclusively through confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association in the State of New York. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that we may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, in the State of New York, necessary to protect our rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.

To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under these Terms of Use must be filed within one year in an arbitration proceeding. The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.
