1. Accounts

Our Platform permits you to register for an account to use the Platform (a “User Account”). In general, you are not obligated to register for a User Account, but certain sections of the Platform are only available to Users who have registered for a User Account. We may reject, and you may not use, a user ID (or e-mail address) for any reason in our sole discretion. For example, we may reject a user ID (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else; that may be construed as impersonating another person; that belongs to another person; that violates the intellectual property or other rights of any person; or that is offensive. You may only have one active User Account for the Platform at any given time, and you may not allow other people to use your User Account to access the Platform.

You must accurately maintain and update any information you have provided to us in connection with your User Account. You agree to notify us of any unauthorized use of the User Account, including any breach of security you become aware of involving or relating to the Platform. You agree that you are responsible for all activities that occur under the User Account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and restricting access to your computer or device so others may not access the Platform in violation of these Terms of Use. In addition, you agree to sign out from the User Account at the end of each session if you are using a device that is shared with other people.

2. Your Use of the Platform & Code of Conduct

While using our Platform, you are required to comply with all applicable statutes, orders, regulations, rules and other laws.

In addition, we expect users of the Platform to respect the rights and dignity of others. For example, you may not do any of the following without our consent:

Post, upload, share, transmit, distribute, facilitate distribution of or otherwise make available to or through a Platform any content that is unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, threatening, intimidating, fraudulent, tortious, vulgar, obscene, hateful, pornographic, spam, discriminatory, violative of privacy or publicity rights, infringing of intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or otherwise objectionable in our sole discretion, including, but not limited to, unauthorized or unsolicited advertising;

5. Our Intellectual Property

As between you and Vyne Legacy, all right, title and interest in and to the Platform, including our information, software, technology, data, applications, logos, marks, designs, text, graphics, pictures, audio and video files, other data or copyrightable materials or content, and their selection and arrangement, is referred to herein as "Vyne Legacy Content”, and is and will remain the exclusive property of Vyne Legacy and its licensors. Vyne Legacy Content is protected by intellectual property rights both in the United States and internationally.

Your use of the Platform under these Terms does not give you additional rights in the Platform or ownership of any intellectual property rights associated with the Platform, including, but not limited to, any rights to use our trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features. Subject to your compliance with and the limitations set forth in these Terms, Vyne Legacy grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to access and use the Platform to fulfill your personal purposes.

6. Copyright Violations and the DMCA

It is our policy to expeditiously respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). This section describes the information that should be present in these notices and the take down procedure we follow with respect to allegedly infringing material. If we receive proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to these notices may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material and/or terminating or suspending users. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the provider of the allegedly infringing content so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to the DMCA. It is our policy to accommodate and not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect their copyrighted works that we determine are reasonable under the circumstances.

If you believe that any content on the Platform infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, you may send a written notification to our designated copyright agent (the “Designated Agent”), identified below, with the following information:

a.) A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, with sufficient detail so that we can identify the alleged infringing material;

b.)The URL or other specific location on the Platform that contains the alleged infringing material described in (a) above, with reasonably sufficient information to enable us to locate the alleged infringing material;

c.) Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address;

d.) The electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;

e.) A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

f.) A statement by you that the information contained in your notice is accurate and that you attest under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Desginated Agent:
Email:

To notify the provider of the allegedly infringing material to which we have removed or disabled access, we may forward a copy of your infringement notice, including your name and email address to the provider of the allegedly infringing material.

We may terminate users who, in our sole discretion, are deemed to be repeat infringers. Knowingly misrepresenting in a notification that material is infringing can subject you to damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by us or the alleged infringer. If you receive an infringement notification from us, you may file a counter notification pursuant with our Designated Agent pursuant to the DMCA. To file a counter notification, please provide our Designated Agent with the following information:

a.) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled;

b.) Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address;

c.) If you are in the United State, the following statement: "I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the [insert the federal jurisdiction in which you are located]." If you are not in the United States, the following statement “I consent to the federal jurisdiction where Vyne Legacy is located.”;

d.) The following statement: "I will accept service of process from [insert the name of the person who submitted the infringement notification] or his/her agent";

e.) The following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the affected material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled"; and

f.) Your signature, in physical or electronic form.

Upon receipt of valid counter notification, we will promptly provide the person who provided the original infringement notification with a copy of your counter notification and inform that person that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Further, we will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of your counter notice, unless Designated Agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original infringement notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Platform.

7. Public Forums

As part of the Platform, we may host message boards or User-generated content, reviews, and other interactive features or services through which the Users or other third parties can post or upload content or otherwise interact with the Platform (each, a “Forum”). We do not endorse any content posted in Forums, cannot guarantee the accuracy or authenticity of such content, and are acting only as a passive conduit for such content. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY FORUM CONTENT, OF ANY VARIETY, AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON.

Forums are Public: You acknowledge and agree that Forums are public spaces and that your participation in such Forums creates no expectation of privacy. Further, you acknowledge that any content you communicate in Forums may be seen and used by others. You understand that our staff, outside contributors, or other users connected with us may participate in Forums or other aspects of the Platform and may employ anonymous usernames when doing so. If you fail to comply with these Terms of Use you may be expelled from and refused continued access to Forums in the future. However, we are not responsible for content that you or others choose to communicate in Forums, or for your actions or the actions of other users. IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN A FORUM OR OTHERWISE ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Our Rights: You acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to do one or all of the following, at our sole discretion: (a) evaluate content you post to a Forum before allowing it to be posted on any Forum; (b) monitor Forum content; (c) alter, remove, reject, or refuse to post or allow to be posted, without notice to you, any User Content, for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that we shall have no obligation or liability to you for failure to do so or for doing so in any particular manner; and/or (d) disclose any content and the circumstances surrounding its transmission, to any third party in order to operate the Platform, to protect us, other Users and other visitors to the Platform, to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests, to enforce these Terms, or for any other reason or purpose we deem appropriate.

8. Third Party Content

Any statements, opinions or other information provided by third parties and made available on the Platform are those of the respective author(s) and not Vyne Legacy. We do not endorse, or guarantee the validity, accuracy, completeness or reliability of any opinion, advice, service, offer, statement or other third party content on the Platform. ANY CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE PLATFORM IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. WE HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY CONTAINED IN ANY VYNE LEGACY CONTENT, AND ANY TESTIMONIAL, DESCRIPTION, OR OPINION POSTED ON THE PLATFORM TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.

We may provide on the Platform, solely as a convenience to Users, links to websites, social media pages, mobile applications or other services operated by other entities. If you click these links, you will leave the Platform. If you decide to visit any external link, you do so at your own risk, and it is your responsibility to take all protective measures to guard against viruses or other destructive elements. We do not make any warranty or representation regarding, or endorse or otherwise sponsor, any linked sites or the information appearing thereon or any of the products or services described thereon. Links do not imply that we are legally authorized to use any trademark, trade name, logo or copyright symbol displayed in or accessible through the links; or that any linked site is authorized to use any of our trademarks, logos or copyright symbols.

We may maintain a presence on and link to social media websites, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest and Instagram, and others (collectively, “Social Media Pages”), to provide a place for people to learn more about us and the Platform, and to share experiences with the Platform. When you visit these Social Media Pages, you are no longer on the Platform, but rather a website operated by a third party. All comments, visuals and other materials posted by visitors to our Social Media Pages do not necessarily reflect our opinions, values or ideas. All visitors to our Social Media Pages must comply with respective social media platform’s terms of use.

YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, APPLICATIONS, SERVICES AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, DATA, ADVERTISING, PRODUCTS, OR OTHER MATERIALS ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH SUCH THIRD PARTIES, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE APPLICABLE TO SUCH SITES AND RESOURCES.

9. Interactive Chat and Chatbots

The Platform may provide chat functionality and live support to serve you better (“Chats”). Chats may allow you to speak to a human representative, a Chatbot (as defined below), or some combination of the three. You should review our Privacy Policy to learn how we treat information that could identify you gathered via a Chat. If you are signed in to a User Account while using a Chat, the Chat may link the User Account information with you or the Chat interaction. You may not impersonate or attempt to gain information regarding another individual via a Chat. Information provided via a Chat may be inaccurate, and Chats may not always be available or error-free. Chats may be provided by third parties, and you may be entering into a contractual agreement with those third parties when you use the Chat. You should refer to the applicable Chat and its hyperlinks to learn more.
Chatbots: Chats may use interactive, automated computer programs and similar technologies to provide customer service via the Chat (“Chatbots”). Chatbots often work by using “natural language processing” technology to understand your questions and inputs and respond to them with relevant information or follow-up inquiries. Our Chatbots typically identify that you are interacting with a computer program and not a human, sometimes by a “Powered by…” or a similar legend in the Chat or by setting up the Chat in such a way that its apparent that a Chatbot is used. Chatbots use technology to respond to your inputs without human intervention. Although Chatbots are automated, your inputs and responses may be viewed and accessed by our real people, possibly in real time. Be aware that some Chatbots may connect you to one of our human representatives.

10. Support

The Platform may provide features that enable you to get support, including through a chat feature, a support email address, or a telephone hotline. Information collected via these support methods is subject to our Privacy Policy. Be aware that communications may be monitored for quality assurance and other purposes. All information you provide to us for purposes of support is considered User Content.

11. Apps

Some portions of the Platform may be made accessible as mobile websites or other applications that you can download to your phone, tablet, television, or other devices (“App”) via a third-party service such as an application store. Your use of the third-party service may be subject to additional terms related to that service from the service provider (“App Store Provider”). WE ARE NOT LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR, AND MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO, ANY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OR ANY CLAIM OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE.

When you use one of our Apps, you are subject to additional terms from the App Store Provider. These terms may give us, and the App Store Provider, additional rights while posing additional obligations or restrictions on you. Please review such terms, you are solely responsible for reviewing and understanding those terms and ensuring you have the latest version.

If you downloaded an App from the Apple “App Store,” you are subject to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. If you downloaded an App from the “Google Play” store, you are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service available at: https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/index.html. If you used a different third-party service, check with the applicable App Store Provider to determine what additional terms may apply.

12. Text Message Marketing

BY PARTICIPATING IN A TEXT MESSAGE CAMPAIGN, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE DISPUTES, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OF THIS AGREEMENT AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE TERMS HEREIN, INCLUDING THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

You may be able to sign up to a text message marketing campaign on the Platform or through another method provided by us. You can opt out of any text message marketing program by replying STOP to the text message. You can reply HELP on many text message marketing programs to receive more information, including a customer contact number. Message and data rates may apply to any text message marketing program, and consent to a program is not required for any purchase. Text message marketing programs send automated reoccurring texts. Neither Vyne Legacy nor mobile carriers are liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You must notify us if you give up a telephone number that is subscribed to a text message marketing program or if the number is otherwise reassigned. To do so, or find out more information on our text message marketing programs, contact us. Our Privacy Policy applies to text message marketing programs.

13. Downloads

The Platform may allow you to download certain content. Vyne Legacy makes no representation that such download will be error or malware free or fit for a particular purpose. Certain downloads may be subject to a separate agreement either with Vyne Legacy or a third party, for example, an agreement with a mobile application store.

14. Termination

The Platform and these Terms are in effect until terminated by you or Vyne Legacy. We may terminate these Terms by notifying you using any contact information we have about you or by posting such termination on the Platform. You may terminate these Terms by providing written notice of termination, including your detailed contact information and your account information, to us using the information in the Contact Us section. In addition to any right or remedy that may be available to us under applicable law, we may suspend, limit, or terminate all or a portion of your access to the Platform and any related features at any time with or without notice and with or without cause, including without limitation, if we believe that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms. We may be protected for liability from these actions under the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230.

The provisions of these Terms concerning the protection of intellectual property rights, authorized use, user submitted content, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and disputes, as well as any other provisions that by their nature should survive, shall survive any such termination.

Upon any such termination, (i) you must destroy all content obtained from the Platform and all copies thereof; (ii) you will immediately cease all use of and access to Platform; (iii) we may delete or disable access to any of your User Content or Vyne Legacy content at any time; (iv) and we may, in our sole discretion, delete your User Account. You agree that if your use of Platform is terminated pursuant to this Agreement, you will not attempt to use Platform under any name, real or assumed, and further agree that if you violate this restriction after being terminated, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all liability that we may incur therefore. Your use of the Platform after termination will be a violation of this Section, which survives any termination.
Even after the termination of this Agreement or of your Account or access to the Platform, any User Content you have posted or submitted may remain on the Platform indefinitely.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty

WE DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE, VALIDITY, ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF THE CONTENT AVAILABLE ON THE PLATFORM OR ON ANY OTHER SITES LINKED TO OR FROM THE PLATFORM. DOWNLOADING OR OTHERWISE OBTAINING ANY CONTENT THROUGH THE PLATFORM IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE CONTENT OF THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOUR USE OF OUR PLATFORM IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

16. Limitation of Liability

WE AND ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES, DIVISIONS, AND RELATED ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS OUR AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASEES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, ANY VYNE LEGACY CONTENT, OR EXTERNAL LINKS ON THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR RELATED TO ERRORS, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DEFECTS, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, OR ANY COMPUTER VIRUS OR FAILURE.

RELEASEES WILL ALSO NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. RELEASEES ALSO SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACTS, OMISSIONS OR CONDUCT OF ANY USER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. REGARDLESS OF THE PREVIOUS SENTENCES, IF WE ARE FOUND TO BE LIABLE, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE ACTUAL TOTAL AMOUNT RECEIVED BY US FROM YOU OR THE LOWEST LIABILITY LIMITATION ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Vyne Legacy and all of our directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, assigns, and contractors harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, suits, actions, liabilities, judgments, losses, costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) or other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from (i) your breach of any provision of these Terms; (ii) your activities in connection with the Platform; or (iii) the User Content or other information you provide to us through the Platform. We reserve the right, at your 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 use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

18. Disputes, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO BE REPRESENTED BY A LAWYER IN ARBITRATION OR PROCEED WITHOUT ONE. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, or the Privacy Policy, shall be either determined by binding arbitration in Missouri before one arbitrator or submitted to small claims court in Missouri. If the arbitrator finds this location to be unreasonably burdensome to you, a new location may be selected or arbitration may be conducted over the phone, using video conferencing, or similar. You may be entitled to an in-person hearing near your place of residence. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of this Agreement, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.

No Class Actions: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS OR ARBITRATION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR MASS ARBITRATION. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Seeking Arbitration: If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to us, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to us must be addressed to: Vyne Legacy, 7171 W 95th St Ste. 501, Overland Park, KS 66212. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a written Notice to an email address you have previously provided to us, if available. We may also use any other means to contact you, including a message in your Account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by us, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or us may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. Arbitration forms can be downloaded from www.jamsadr.com. Except in the event of a Coordinated Claim (as defined below), if you are required to pay a filing fee, after we receive Notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000 or the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.

Hearing: If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. In the event that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, the arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator, unless extended by the arbitrator. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.

Award: In the event arbitration awards you damages of an amount at least $100 greater than our last documented settlement offer, we will pay your awarded damages or $2,500, whichever is greater.

Coordinated Proceedings: If 20 or more individuals initiate Notices of dispute with us raising similar claims, and counsel for the individuals bringing the claims are the same or are coordinated for these individuals ("Coordinated Claims"), the claims shall proceed in arbitration in a coordinated proceeding. Counsel for the individuals and counsel for Vyne Legacy shall each select five cases to proceed first in arbitration in a bellwether proceeding ("Test Cases"). The remaining cases shall not be filed in arbitration until the first ten have been resolved. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the Test Cases, each side may select another five cases to proceed to arbitration for a second bellwether proceeding. This process may continue until the parties have determined an objective methodology to make an offer to resolve each and every outstanding claim. A court will have authority to enforce this clause and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing of arbitration demands against Vyne Legacy. Individuals bringing Coordinated Claims shall be responsible for up to $250 of their filing fees or the maximum permissible under the applicable arbitration rules.

Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and we both agree that you or we may sue in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or in other scenarios where injunctive relief is appropriate. In the event a court or arbitrator having jurisdiction finds any portion of this Agreement unenforceable, that portion shall not be effective and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain effective. No waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of or default under this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

Confidentiality: The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

Governing Law and Rules: This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Missouri exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits. The parties adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement) with respect to any final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement.
