6. WARRANTIES & LIABILITY

A. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF OUR PROPERTY IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ARISING FROM DOING SO. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS, CONTENT, DATA, OR INFORMATION SHARED BY THIRD PARTIES. OUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) AND ALL ASSOCIATED CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DO NOT MAKE ANY COMMITMENTS ABOUT ANY CONTENT WITHIN OUR PROPERTY, ANY SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OR THE RELIABILITY, ACCURACY, SECURITY, TIMELINESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR AVAILABILITY OF OUR PROPERTY OR ANY ASSOCIATED CONTENT TO MEET YOUR NEEDS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR THOSE ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND ALL OTHER IMPLIED WARRANTIES.

B. WHEN PERMITTED BY LAW, THE UNISTRAW PARTIES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES OR DATA, FINANCIAL LOSSES OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF THE UNISTRAW PARTIES FOR ANY CLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS, INCLUDING FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT THAT YOU PAID US TO USE THE PROPERTY (OR, IF WE CHOOSE, TO SUPPLY YOU WITH THE PROPERTY AGAIN).

BY ACCESSING THE PROPERTY, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY BE WAIVING RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS THAT ARE AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN OR UNSUSPECTED, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH WAIVER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE, THE BENEFITS OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA, AND ANY SIMILAR LAW OF ANY STATE OR TERRITORY, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

C. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY OF OUR PROPERTY OR THESE TERMS MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED. THIS PROVISION IS NOT APPLICABLE IN NEW JERSEY.

These Terms shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws rules and any permitted court legal proceedings against Unistraw (i.e., those not subject to Mandatory Arbitration, as provided below) that may arise out of, relate to, or be in any way connected with our Property.

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & MANDATORY ARBITRATION

(A) We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with disputes by contacting us at Contact Us . We will contact you based on the contact information you have provided us.

(B) If after 30 days the parties are unable to resolve any dispute raised under the previous provision, the dispute may only be submitted to arbitration consistent with this Section. We each understand that either of us would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court and to have a judge or jury decide their case, but we are instead voluntarily choosing to have any disputes resolved through binding arbitration.

(C) We each agree that any claim or dispute between us, and any claim by either of us against any agent, employee, successor, or assign of the other, including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, third parties who are not signatories to this agreement, whether related to this agreement or otherwise, including past, present, and future claims and disputes, and including any dispute as to the validity or applicability of this arbitration clause, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS under its rules and procedures in effect when the claim is filed. The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from JAMS’ website (www.jamsadr.com) or by calling JAMS at 949 224 1810.

(D) We are entering into this arbitration agreement in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce. Accordingly, this arbitration agreement and any proceedings thereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. Any award by the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

(E) Exception to Arbitrate. We each agree as follows: (i) either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court; (ii) to the extent state law permits either of us to seek injunctive or other equitable relief outside of arbitration, we each agree that such actions will be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California or state court located in San Diego. We each consent and submit to the personal jurisdictions of these courts; and (iii) as set forth below, we each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and Unistraw, not as part of a classwide claim. If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and we each agree to resolve the dispute in court.

8. NO CLASS ACTIONS

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASS WIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

9. NO TRIAL BY JURY

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PERMITTED PROCEEDING.

10. AMENDMENTS & ASSIGNMENT

You agree that Unistraw may update these Terms at any time, and it is your obligation to check for updates. Updates do not apply retroactively. You may not assign these Terms or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

A. Except as provided in these Terms, these Terms constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

B. These terms do not create any rights in favor of any third party. Our failure to take action to enforce our rights does not mean that we give up those rights or cannot take such action in the future.

C. If you access our Property from locations outside of the U.S. you do so on your own initiative and at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

D. If a provision in these Terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be removed from these Terms and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in force.

E. At any time and for any reason or no reason we may restrict, suspend or terminate your access to our Property, terminate your Account, and add, remove or modify functionality.

F. When using our Property, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

G. You agree to fully cooperate with us to investigate any suspected or actual activity that is in breach of these Terms.
