The parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between the parties individually. To the maximum extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration may be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority to arbitrate any dispute on a class action basis or to use class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority to bring any dispute as a purported representative action on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Arbitration

The parties agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions regarding binding arbitration: (a) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or relating to the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a party; (b) any dispute relating to or arising from allegations of theft, piracy, privacy violations, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If it is determined that this provision is unlawful or unenforceable, neither party shall elect to arbitrate any dispute that falls within the part of this provision that is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, and that dispute will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed above, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction in that court.

24. Limitation of Liability

Neither we nor our directors, employees, or agents shall be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenues, or loss of data, or any other damages arising from your use of the services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, our liability to you for any cause of action, regardless of the form of the action, shall at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to us in the six (6) months preceding the cause of action. Some U.S. states and international laws do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages or the exclusion of warranties, so some or all of the above limitations may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.

25. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, and all of our officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your Contributions; (2) your use of the services; (3) your breach of these legal terms; (4) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these legal terms; (5) your violation of the rights of a third party, including, without limitation, intellectual property rights; or (6) any harmful act toward any other user of the services with whom you connected via the services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we retain the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any claim or legal action that is subject to this indemnification once we become aware of it.

29. Miscellaneous

These legal terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the services or in connection with the services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.
