Your download of the App and your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these Terms.

10. Disclaimers of Warranty

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE APP AND SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP, THE SERVICE AND ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION PROVIDED THEREIN ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NOT ENTERED INTO THESE TERMS IN RELIANCE UPON ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION.

E&M HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE APP, THE SERVICE AND ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION PROVIDED THEREIN EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. E&M DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP, THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT PROVIDED BY THEREIN, INCLUDING ANY PARTNER CONTENT, WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE APP AND SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR VIRUS-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY E&M OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.

11. Limitation on Liability

NEITHER E&M, ITS AFFILIATES, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF USE, DATA, INCOME, PROFIT OR GOODWILL, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE APP OR SERVICE OR ARISING OUT OF ANY ACTION TAKEN IN RESPONSE TO OR AS A RESULT OF ANY CONTENT OR OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE THEREIN, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INFRINGEMENT, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.

THE APP AND SERVICE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES SPECIFIED HEREIN WILL SURVIVE EVEN IF FOUND TO HAVE FAILED IN THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

12. General Arbitration; Applicable Law

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Except for a claim by E&M of infringement or misappropriation of E&M’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, any and all disputes between you and E&M arising under or related in any way to these Terms must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It includes, but is not limited to, all claims and disputes relating to your use of the App and Service.

BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND E&M ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND E&M AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or related to these Terms shall be referred to, governed by, and finally resolved through arbitration with the International Center for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules. The place of the arbitration proceedings shall be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Minnesota law shall apply. The dispute, controversy or claims shall be decided by one (1) arbitrator who is licensed to practice law and has a minimum of ten (10) years’ of arbitration experience. The language of arbitration shall be English.

For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, the ICDR, you and E&M must abide by the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions; and (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If the claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the ICDR rules, and the hearing (if any) must take place in Minnesota.

The arbitrator’s ruling is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this agreement to arbitrate is held unenforceable by a court, then the disputes that would otherwise have been arbitrated shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota. Claims of infringement or misappropriation of E&M’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall be exclusively brought in the state and federal courts located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

13. Entire Agreement; Severability; Waiver

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and E&M and supersede all prior and contemporaneous discussions between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any term of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of these Terms will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. No failure or delay by E&M in exercising any right hereunder will be deemed a waiver of any other provision of these Terms on any other occasion.

14. Successors; Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and permitted assigns. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights and obligations hereunder without E&M’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. No third party shall have any rights hereunder.

15. Governing Law

Any claim relating to E&M’s App and Service shall be governed in all respects in accordance with the substantive and procedural laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to any state’s choice of law rules.
