No Warranty
While we use our reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy and reliability of the Web Site, we do not warrant or represent that it will always function or be error-free. We assume no responsibility or liability for errors or omissions on the Web Site or for problems with its operation. Your access and use of the Web Site are at your own risk. Without limiting the foregoing, THE WEB SITE, ITS CONTENT AND ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so the above may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL SONATUS, ITS RELATED COMPANIES, AND EACH SUCH COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS, USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEB SITE OR FOR ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO, PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE WEB SITE. ANY CLAIM FOR DIRECT DAMAGES CONCERNING ACCESS, USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE WEB SITE OR FOR ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE WEB SITE SHALL BE LIMITED IN THE AGGREGATE TO FIFTY DOLLARS ($50).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain damages, so the above may not apply to you. If any authority holds any portion of this section to be unenforceable, then liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Sonatus, its affiliates and related companies and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any third-party claim or cause of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, out of your use of the Web Site, your violation of any law or the rights of any person.
Binding Arbitration
You agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Web Site itself or use of the Web Site or these Terms of Use, other than claims relating to infringement of copyright or other intellectual property claims relating to this Web Site, may only be resolved by individual binding arbitration in accordance with this arbitration provision. The arbitration must be held in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the applicable procedural rules set forth in the then prevailing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The JAMS Rules and Procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration or by calling (800) 352-5267. The arbitrator must be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (“FAA”). In any arbitration under this arbitration provision, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including his or her own jurisdiction, and any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator, however, shall apply California law to the underlying dispute, consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. You will be responsible for your share of any arbitration fees (e.g., filing, administrative, etc.), but only up to the amount of filing fees you would incur if the claims were filed in court. Sonatus will be responsible for all other arbitration fees. You are responsible for all other costs/fees that you incur in arbitration, e.g. fees for attorneys, expert witnesses, etc. You are not required to reimburse Sonatus for any arbitration fees unless the arbitrator finds that the substance of your claims(s) or the relief sought is frivolous. If the arbitrator makes such a finding, JAMS Rules will govern the payment of all fees, and Sonatus may seek reasonable attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding any provisions in these Terms of Use, Sonatus will pay all fees and costs it is required by law to pay.
If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision remains in effect and must be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision is null and void and neither you nor Sonatus is entitled to arbitrate their dispute. THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH MUST BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ACCORDINGLY, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED.
BY AGREEING TO THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND LIMITING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER YOUR FIRST USE OF THE WEB SITE BY REGISTERED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED to Sonatus, Inc. 330 Gibraltar Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089. Include your name, address and a clear statement that you do not agree to this Arbitration provision.
Disputes
These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any action to enforce these Terms of Use regarding a claim not subject to binding arbitration must be brought in the federal court in the Northern District of California or the state courts located in Santa Clara County, California. By using the Web Site, you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of these courts. Except where prohibited, you agree that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action directly or indirectly arising out of the Web Site must be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action. Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to the Web Site must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises, regardless of any law to the contrary.
General
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision must be construed consistent with applicable law, and the remaining provisions must be enforced. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope of such section. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. These Terms of Use set forth the entire agreement between you and Sonatus in connection with your use of the Web Site.
Force Majeure
Sonatus will not be liable for any failure or delay in connection with the Web Site if such failure or delay is due to circumstances or events beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of a governmental body, war, insurrection, acts of terrorism, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, mud slides, earthquakes, strikes, natural disasters, acts of God, public health emergencies, epidemics, endemics, pandemics, shelter-in-place or stay-at home orders, quarantines, government shutdowns, labor disturbances, riots, gas shortages, interruption or delay in transportation or travel, unavailability of, interruption or delay in network capabilities, telecommunications, the Internet or third party products or services, inability to submit, obtain or receive information through the Web Site.
