21.6. Indemnification

  1. You agree to defend and indemnify Us should any user or third party be harmed by Your actions or should We be obligated to defend any claims including, without limitation, any criminal or civil action brought by any party due to Your actions as an Advertiser or a user of the Site.
  2. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, representatives and agents, from and against any and all claims, actions, loss, liabilities, expenses, costs, or demands, including without limitation legal fees and costs, for any and all damages directly, indirectly, and/or consequentially resulting or allegedly resulting from Your conduct as an Advertiser, or Your breach of this Agreement or any other agreement relating to use of the Website. We will notify You of any such claim or suit, provided, however, that any delays in providing notice will not waive or prejudice our rights to indemnification. We will cooperate fully (at Your expense) in the defense of such claim or suit. We reserve the right to control the defense of such claim, compromise or settle any claim (after consultation with You), and choose Our own legal counsel; however, We are not obligated to do so. You agree to promptly pay any and all costs, fees, or expenses incurred by Us in connection with any claim subject to indemnification.

In order to maintain the integrity of the Site and Services, or to investigate complaints, You agree to allow Us to access Your Advertiser Account and any other information You have submitted or created for as long as reasonably required to investigate the complaint or protect the Services of this Site.
  4. You agree to promptly notify Us of any incident, claim, or allegation that may impact the indemnification obligations set forth above.

21.7. Limitation of Liability

  1. In no event shall the Company (or its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, representatives or agents) be liable to You, or any other third party for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of information, business interruption, revenue, or goodwill, which may arise from any person’s use, misuse, or inability to use the Site, Services, or any of the materials contained therein, even if We have been advised of the probability of such damages. This is for any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of contract, tort or otherwise, even if We have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  2. In no event shall Our maximum total aggregate liability hereunder for direct damages exceed the total fees actually paid by You for use of the Site or Services for a period of no more than one (1) year from the accrual of the applicable cause or causes of action or one hundred dollars ($100.00), whichever is greater. Because some jurisdictions prohibit the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to You.
  3. You acknowledge that no website or server is completely secure from hacking, data breach, or other nefarious activities. Third parties may obtain access to material, content, communications, data, or other information You send to Us and may use or publicly disclose such information. Such actions can cause significant humiliation, embarrassment, injury, and damage to reputation, privacy and publicity rights. By using Our Website and Services, You voluntarily assume all risks of data breach, and release Us from any and all claims in the event Your information is obtained by others, or made public in any fashion.

21.8. Force Majeure

‍We shall not be responsible for any failure to perform due to unforeseen circumstances or to causes beyond Our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, such as fire, flood, earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms or other natural disasters; war, riot, arson, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, or terrorism; fiber cuts; strikes, or shortages in transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials; failure of the telecommunications or information services infrastructure; hacking, SPAM, or any failure of a computer, server or software, for so long as such event continues to delay the Site’s or Services’ performance.

21.9. Dispute Resolution

  1. Disputes Subject to Arbitration. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR ADVERTISER ACCOUNT OR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except that You may assert claims in small claims court if Your claims qualify, and You or We may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.
  2. Arbitration Procedures. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, statutory damages, or attorneys’ fees as allowed by law), and must follow the terms of this Agreement and other agreements between You and Us as a court would.
  3. Commencing an Arbitration; Governing Rules. Arbitrations will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA rules. The format of the arbitration (whether conducted in person, by telephone, or based on written submissions) and the location of any in-person hearings will be determined by mutual agreement or by the AAA rules. To bring an arbitration claim, You must send a demand describing the dispute along with the filing fee as provided in the AAA rules to American Arbitration Association, Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100 Voorhees, NJ 08043, and send a copy of the demand to Us by email at hello@myspalist.com. The AAA also provides a form Demand for Arbitration on its website.
  4. No Class Action or Representative Claims. You and We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, You and We each waive any right to a jury trial.
