If You violate these Terms of Use then we may seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available to us under applicable law or these Terms of Use.
If SCA has to provide information in response to a subpoena related to Your account, then we may charge You for our costs. These fees may include attorney and employee time spent retrieving the records, preparing documents, and participating in a deposition.
The Terms of Use, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may be transferred or assigned by You only with SCA’s prior written consent, but may be assigned by SCA without restriction and without notice to You.
These Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, the validity, applicability or interpretation of these Terms of Use, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the United States Federal Arbitration Act, other applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to these Terms of Use.
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE VALIDITY, APPLICABILITY OR INTERPRETATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-applicable rules, including (as appropriate) its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org/. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a single independent and neutral arbitrator. For any hearing conducted in person as part of the arbitration, you agree that the hearing will be conducted in the County and State of New York or the city in the United States in which you reside. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR ARBITRATION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR, IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION IS NOT AVAILABLE, IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE COUNTY AND STATE OF NEW YORK. YOU HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, FORUM NON-CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR GROUNDS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, You and SCA may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property rights, whether in aid of, pending or independently of the resolution of any dispute pursuant to the arbitration procedures set forth above.
Software and the transmission of applicable technical data, if any, in connection with the Service may be subject to export controls. You agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding software and the transmission of technical data exported from the United States and the country in which You reside.
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other agreements, statements, and other arrangements between the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies the intent of these Terms of Use, so that these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. Each party acknowledges that it has not relied on or been induced to enter these Terms of Use by a representation other than those expressly set out in these Terms of Use. SCA and You do not intend to confer, and these Terms of Use will not be construed as conferring, any right, remedy, obligation or liability of any kind on any person other than SCA, You, and their successors and permitted assigns. No modification, alteration or waiver of any of the provisions of these Terms of Use will be effective unless in writing and signed on behalf of each of the Parties. No waiver of any of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and SCA’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that the Service shall be deemed solely based in New York, United States of America and the Service shall be deemed a passive Service that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over the SCA Parties in jurisdictions other than New York.
