IN ANY EVENT, WE CANNOT COMPENSATE YOU FOR HARMS WE COULD NOT REASONABLY EXPECT FROM PROVIDING THE SERVICES TO YOU. IF YOU CAUSE HARM TO US OR VIOLATE THESE TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ASSUME, AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION, THE EXCLUSIVE DEFENSE AND CONTROL OF ANY SUCH CLAIM OR ACTION AND ALL NEGOTIATIONS FOR SETTLEMENT OR COMPROMISE, AND YOU AGREE TO FULLY COOPERATE WITH US IN THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH CLAIM, ACTION, SETTLEMENT, OR COMPROMISE NEGOTIATIONS, AS REQUESTED BY US. IN NO EVENT WILL YOU SETTLE ANY CLAIM OR ACTION WITHOUT OUR PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL. YOU AGREE NOT TO SUE US AS A RESULT OF OUR DECISION TO WITHHOLD APPROVAL OF OR REMOVE YOUR USER CONTENT, TO WARN YOU, TO REVOKE OR SUSPEND YOUR USER ACCOUNT, OR TO TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION DURING THE INVESTIGATION OF A SUSPECTED VIOLATION OR AS A RESULT OF OUR CONCLUSION THAT A VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS HAS OCCURRED.

26. Class Action Waiver

·         You will not bring or participate in a class action against us.

You hereby waive any right to commence or participate in any class action lawsuit against ILLUNO related to any claim, dispute, or controversy, and, where applicable, you hereby agree to opt out of any class proceeding against ILLUNO otherwise commenced ON OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

27. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

·         Disputes will be resolved by arbitration.

·         Claims must be brought within 1 year of the date it arose.

Any controversy or claim between you and Illuno arising out of or relating to: (a) these Terms or the breach thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services, or (c) any alleged violation of any federal or state or local law, statute or ordinance (each such controversy or claim, a “Claim”), shall be resolved exclusively by a binding arbitration administered by JAMS and held in New Castle, Delaware, USA. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator and arbitration shall be held in New Castle, Delaware but the parties may choose for themselves whether to appear in person, by phone, or through the submission of documents. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees. In arbitration, the parties give up their right to have their Claim decided by a judge or jury, and their Claim is instead decided by an arbitrator. Discovery rights and appellate rights in arbitration are more limited than in court. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award in writing, including all findings of fact and law upon which the award was made. Claims must be brought within one (1) year of the date the claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim, or cause of action will be barred forever.

YOU AND ILLUNO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ILLUNO AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF A CLAIM IMPLICATES THIS SECTION, AND IF THIS SECTION IS FOUND TO BE INVALID, UNENFORCEABLE, OR ILLEGAL BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, THEN SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ADJUDICATED BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF ANY CLAIM IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE, WHICH IS THE PLACE OF PERFORMANCE OF THESE TERMS.

28. Governing Law

·         The Terms are governed by Delaware law.

Delaware state law, the Federal Arbitration Act, and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms. Foreign laws do not apply. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New Castle, Delaware, USA to enforce these Terms. However, judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

29. Miscellaneous

·         These Terms (with the documents referenced in these Terms) are the entire agreement between you and Illuno.

·         Illuno will send you notices to your email on file with us, by mail, or by posting on the Services.

·         You may not assign these Terms to anyone else.

These Terms and the documents incorporated by reference herein are the entire agreement between you and Illuno and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, or agreements between you and Illuno about the Services. Illuno prefers to advise you if we feel you are not complying with these Terms and to recommend any necessary corrective action. However, certain violations of these Terms, as determined by Illuno, may result in immediate termination of your access to the Services without prior notice to you.

Illuno may send you notices related to the Services (such as updates to these Terms) via the Platform, to your email address on file, by regular mail, or by posting to the Services. You will be deemed to have received any notice sent to your Platform account or your email address on file at the time the notice is sent, whether or not you actually receive the notice. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current and to check your Platform account regularly.

Illuno’s failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such term. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the provision shall be amended to achieve as closely as possible the economic effect of the original term and all other provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Sections 3, 4, 9, 12 through 15, 22, and 24 through 30 shall survive any termination of these Terms. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without prior written consent of Illuno, but may be freely assigned by Illuno without restriction.
