You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless our Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, licensors, distributors, sponsors, contractors, service providers, suppliers and advertising, promotional and judging organizations, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Service or your use of our Services, including, but not limited to, negligence and damages of any kind to persons and property, invasion of privacy (under appropriation, intrusion, public disclosure of private facts, false light in the public eye or other legal theory), defamation, slander, libel, violation of right of publicity, infringement of trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights, property damage, or death or personal injury sustained in connection with receipt, ownership, use, or misuse of a prize, or while preparing for or participating in any qualifying or prize-related activity, or in any other way related to your participation in any contest, your User Contributions, any use of any MrktStar Content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Service, or your provision of any services related to or in connection with information obtained from our Services.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to our Services and these Terms of Service and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
Please read this binding arbitration requirement carefully. It affects your rights. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts.
Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Service or our Services (subject to Section 10 of the Rules) will be instituted exclusively according to this binding arbitration provision. You agree to arbitrate ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS between us arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service and our Services (subject to Section 10 of the Rules) (each, a “Dispute”) and that all Disputes will be processed pursuant to this binding arbitration agreement. The types of Disputes we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies, without limitation, to: (a) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (b) claims that arose before these or any prior Terms of Service (including, without limitation, claims relating to advertising); (c) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (d) claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms of Service.
For the purposes of this arbitration agreement, references to our Company and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or Use or any prior agreements between us.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court (subject to Section 10 of the Rules). This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies (subject to Section 10 of the Rules). Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND OUR COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. These Terms of Service evidence a transaction or website use in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms of Service.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written notice of any Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to our Company should be addressed to the address set forth at the end of these Terms of Service and must describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If our Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or our Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by our Company or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or our Company is entitled.
All unresolved Disputes will be determined and settled by binding arbitration before an independent arbitrator selected by the parties. The arbitration hearing will occur at a time and place convenient to the Parties in San Mateo County, California, within 30 days of selection or appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitration will be governed by applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect on the date of the first notice of demand for arbitration. Notwithstanding any provisions in such rules to the contrary, the arbitrator will issue findings of fact and conclusions of law, and an award, within 15 days of the date of the hearing, unless the parties otherwise agree. The Parties will select the arbitrator from a panel list made available by the AAA. If the Parties are unable to agree to an arbitrator within ten days of expiration of the 30-day negotiation period referenced above, the arbitrator will be chosen by alternatively striking from a list of five arbitrators obtained by our Company from the AAA. The party that delivered the Notice will have the first strike.
The prevailing or successful party to any Dispute is entitled to recover all expenses of arbitration, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees, administrative fees, and arbitrator’s fees.
You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by any courts and to venue in such courts pursuant to the foregoing arbitration agreement.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY DISPUTE OR OTHER CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR OUR SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability; Force Majeuere
No waiver of or by our Company of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Service will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of our Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
The failure of our Company to comply with any provision of these Terms of Service due to an act of God, war, fire, riot, earthquake or other natural disaster, terrorism, actions of governmental authorities out of the control of our Company (excepting compliance with applicable regulations) or other force majeure event will not be considered a breach of these Terms of Service.
