THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Unauthorized Exposure or Disclosure: To the extent permitted by law and in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement to AmTrust, User agrees to defend indemnify, and hold harmless AmTrust including its agents, servants, employees, officers, directors, advisers, and shareholders regarding any actual or alleged unauthorized exposure to or disclosure of information or materials the User listed or sent, or did not send, on or through AmTrust’s systems to other users, the general public or any other person or entities who was not intended to receive or view such information.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction: All matters relating to User’s use of the Services or User’s obligations assumed under this Agreement and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction). Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to User’s use of the Services or User’s obligations assumed under this Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the City of New York. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Arbitration: Any dispute or claim arising from or relating in any way to User’s use of the Services or User’s obligations assumed under this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Service as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., Attn: Legal Department. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator
fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. WE ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT YOU OR WE MAY BRING SUIT IN COURT TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Claims Against AmTrust: If any claim, suit, action, arbitration proceeding or other proceeding is commenced or brought against or involving AmTrust or its agents, employees, officers, directors, advisers, and shareholders arising or allegedly arising out of User’s actions including, but not limited to, User’s use of the Services or User’s obligations assumed under this Agreement, then User shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AmTrust and its agents, servants, employees, officers, directors, advisers, and shareholders from and against all costs, liabilities, judgments, settlement amounts, losses, damages, expenses, including all attorneys’ fees, resulting from or arising out of or allegedly resulting from or arising out of any such claim, suit, action, arbitration proceeding or other proceeding.
Breach of Agreement: If User’s breach of any obligation(s) or enforcing the terms of this Agreement causes AmTrust including its agents, servants, employees, officers, directors, advisers, and shareholders to incur any costs, liabilities, judgments, settlement amounts, losses, damages, or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, then User shall reimburse AmTrust for all such costs, liabilities, judgments, settlement costs, losses, damages, expenses, including attorneys’ fees.
