IN NO EVENT SHALL TRIVVER, ITS PROCESSORS, ITS SUPPLIERS, OR ITS LICENSORS, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, AND EMPLOYEES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR UNAVAILABILITY OF THE PUBLISHER TOOLS, CONTENT, OR PLATFORMS.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify and defend Trivver, including our respective employees, directors, agents, affiliates, and representatives, from and again any and all actions, demands, claims, and suits, losses, damages, judgments, tax assessments (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) instituted by a person or entity arising out of: (i) your actual or alleged breach of your representations, warranties, or obligations under this Agreement; (ii) your wrongful or unpermitted use of the Publisher Tools, Content, or Platforms; (iii) the performance, promotion, sale, or distribution of your Services; (iv) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy, publicity rights, or Intellectual Property Rights; or (v) your violation of any law, rule, or regulation of the United State or any other jurisdiction. Trivver reserves the right, at its option and sole discretion, to assume full control of the defense of claims with legal counsel of its choice. You may not enter into any agreement, which would in any manner, affect the right of Trivver, constitute an admission of fault or liability by Trivver, or bind Trivver in any manner, without the prior written consent of Trivver. In the event Trivver decides to assume control of the defense of such claim, Trivver shall not settle any such claim requiring payment from you without your prior written approval.

CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE

Any claim and/or dispute that arises from your use of the Publisher Tools and Content shall be decided in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Subject to the arbitration provision below, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases) shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, United States of America. You agree that such courts shall have personal jurisdiction over you and agree to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts, and waive any objections based on inconvenient forum.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, of the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof shall be determined by arbitration in Orange County, California before a single arbitrator. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST TRIVVER. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. You and Trivver hereby expressly waive trial by jury. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If applicable, consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claim in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration so long as their matter remains in small claims courts and proceeds only on an individual (non-class or non-representative) basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand and agree that any use or dissemination of Trivver’s Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement will cause Trivver irreparable harm, and that monetary damages will not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information, and that Trivver will have no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, Trivver shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction without requirement for bond. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement, and any and all rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, and any attempted transfer or assignment, whether in full or in part, will be null and void.

ABILITY TO ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICE

You affirm that you are more than the legal age in the territory in which you reside, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in the Agreement, and to abide by and comply with the Agreement.

NO WAIVER

Trivver’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings, or agreements (whether oral or written) between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement.

MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT

We may amend this Agreement at any time with notice that we deem to be reasonable by posting the revised version on our website or communicating it to you through your Trivver account. The updated agreement will be effective as of the time it is posted. Your continued use of and access to the Publisher Tools and/or Content after the posing of an updated agreement constitutes your acceptance of such updated agreement.

THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES

Except as otherwise expressly stated in the terms of this Agreement, there are no third-party beneficiaries.

NO AGENCY

The terms of this Agreement do not create an agency, partnership, or joint venture among the parties.
