​TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ZEDBUD OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY:

 

• Zedbud shall not be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, punitive or consequential damages arising from your use of the services. However, if a jurisdiction does not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions the liability of Zedbud shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

• Zedbud’s liability to you under this Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate monies actually paid to zedbud by you for the services which gave rise to such liability.

• You agree to indemnify and hold Zedbud harmless from any liabilities, costs, claims, demands, or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, asserted by any third party due to or arising out of: (i) any breach by you of this Agreement; or (ii) your use or access of the Application or Servers.

• You hereby waive, and release and discharge Zedbud and agree to hold Zedbud harmless from any liability for any and all claims for slander, defamation, violation of any moral or artistic rights, invasion of privacy, or violation of the right to publicity or any other personal or proprietary right.

Indemnity

​

You will indemnify, defend and hold Zedbud, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and employees harmless (including, without limitation, from all damages, liabilities, settlements, costs and attorneys' fees) from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of your access to or use of the Services, your violation of this Agreement, or the infringement by you or any third party using your account of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.

​

Jurisdiction and Law

​

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof, unless a state's laws explicitly require that any legal disputes are governed by the laws of that state. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts sitting in Delaware, for all disputes arising out of or relating to the Services.

​

Arbitration

​

Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement will be finally settled in small claims court or by arbitration in Dover, Delaware, using the English language in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who will be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. If you cannot afford or otherwise do not want to pay arbitration filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees, we will consider in good faith any request by you for us to bear the cost of those fees. We will pay any administration fee, arbitration fees and fees and charges of attorneys, experts and witnesses if and to the extent we are required to pay such fees and charges by law or in order to make this arbitration provision enforceable. By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge that you may not participate in a class action in court or in arbitration, either as a class representative, class member or class opponent. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A COURT (OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT) OR TO A JURY TRIAL. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party will have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator.

Miscellaneous

​

The failure of either party to exercise, in any respect, any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Zedbud will not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Zedbud's reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. If any provision is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. 

 

In the event that, any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue to be in effect.
