We expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any damage, suits, claims, and/or controversies that have arisen or may arise, whether known or unknown, from the above.
15. INDEMNIFICATION. You will indemnify, defend and hold Us harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, judgments, liabilities costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and the costs of enforcing this provision and of pursuing any insurance providers) arising from or relating to: (i) any of Your Materials, including any use, disclosure or storage of the same by Us or on Our behalf in accordance with the Agreement; (ii) Our compliance with any specifications or directions provided by You or on Your behalf; (iii) Your failure to comply with any applicable Laws, or any of Your other obligations, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement; or (iv) Your access or use of the Services, in whole or in part, including any relationship or agreement formed with a Seeker or Candidate as a result of or otherwise in connection with Your use of the Services (in whole or in part).
16. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The Agreement will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of law principles. Neither any adoption of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act nor the U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods applies to the Agreement or to the rights or duties of the parties under the Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or its subject matter (including the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section) will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Either party may send a notice to the other party of its intention to file a case with the AAA under this Section (“Arbitration Notice”). The arbitration will be conducted in Broward County, Florida, by a single arbitrator knowledgeable in the commercial aspects of software development and support arrangements and intellectual property. The parties will mutually appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the Arbitration Notice. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, then the AAA will appoint an arbitrator who meets the foregoing knowledge requirements. The arbitration hearing will commence within sixty (60) days after the appointment of the arbitrator and the hearing will be completed and an award rendered in writing within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the hearing. Prior to the hearing, each party will have the right to take up to four (4) evidentiary depositions, and exchange two (2) sets of document production requests and two sets, each, of not more than ten (10) interrogatories. The arbitrator will provide detailed written explanations to the parties to support their award and regardless of outcome, and each party will pay its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) associated with the arbitration proceeding and fifty percent (50%) of the fees of the arbitrator and the AAA. The arbitration award will be final and binding and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. With the exception of disclosures to affiliates and legal counsel, all negotiations and arbitration proceedings related to a dispute (including a settlement, award, or the documents and briefs exchanged or produced during arbitration) are confidential and may not be disclosed by the parties except to the extent necessary for interim measures or conservatory relief, the enforcement of an arbitration award, or as required by law. Prior to the initiation of formal dispute resolution procedures pursuant to this Section, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve the informally, including escalation of the dispute to senior executives with appropriate decision making authority, for a period of at least 30 days, provided, however, that nothing in this Section will limit or delay the right of either party to seek injunctive relief otherwise permitted by the Agreement, whether or not such party has pursued informal resolution in accordance with this sentence.
17. MISCELLANEOUS. You may not assign the Agreement without Our prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, a change in control (whether as a result of the acquisition of all or substantially all of Your equity interests or assets, a merger, or any other business combination event) will constitute an assignment that requires Our prior written consent pursuant to the preceding sentence. No delay or omission by Us to exercise any right or power under the Agreement will impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof. A waiver by Us in any one instance of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by You will not be construed as a waiver with respect to any succeeding instance in which the same provision may apply. We may update, amend or change these Terms at any time, and if You have an active subscription to the Platform, we will notify You of any material changes via a pop-up prior to or while you are accessing your Platform account, or by email. Your continued access and use of the Services following any changes will automatically be deemed Your acceptance of all updates, changes and/or amendments. The headings contained in the Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of the Agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way its meaning or interpretation. The Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of the Agreement. If any provision of the Agreement is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. The Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and except as set forth in Section 1 of these Terms, supersedes all other negotiations, understandings and representations (if any) made by and between such parties, whether orally or in writing.
