​

5.    DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

5.1    Disclaimers. You understand and agree that the Services are provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Parasol, its parents, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, vendors and licensors (the “Parasol Entities”) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. The Parasol Entities make no warranty or representation and disclaim all responsibility and liability for: (a) the completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security or reliability of the Services; (b) any harm to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Services; (c) the operation or compatibility of the Services with any other application or any particular system or device; (d) whether the Services will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure or error-free basis; (e) the deletion of, or the failure to store or transmit, Your Content and other communications maintained by the Services; (f) any act or omission (including posted content) of any user on or through the Services;  and (g) any third-party website, third-party product, or third-party service listed on or accessible to you through the Services. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the Parasol Entities or through the Services, will create any warranty or representation not expressly made herein.

5.2    Limitations of Liability. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL THE PARASOL ENTITIES BE LIABLE (A) FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES), ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM, BASED ON OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGE OR LOSS WAS FORESEEABLE OR YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. SOME JURISDICTIONS (SUCH AS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS FOUND TO BE UNLAWFUL, VOID OR UNENFORCEABLE BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, THEN THE PARASOL ENTITIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES FINALLY AWARDED IN ANY MATTER ARISING FROM, RELATED TO OR CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00), OR THE AMOUNT YOU DONATED TO THE PARASOL ENTITIES, IF ANY, IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. 

5.3    Indemnification. By entering into these Terms and accessing or using the Services, you agree that you shall defend, indemnify and hold the Parasol Entities harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Parasol Entities arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of any term of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (b) your violation of any rights of any third party; (c) your access to or use of the Services; (d) Your Content; (e) your Sponsor Materials; (f) your negligence or wilful misconduct; or (g) any other action or inaction by you or anyone acting on your behalf, including any Sponsor.

6.    ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

6.1    Informal Process First.  You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the Parasol Entities, you will first contact Parasol and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, arbitration or any court action.

6.2    Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.  After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of Parasol’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim. You and Parasol agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and Parasol are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Parasol will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis.

6.3    Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, Parasol will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

6.4    Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to contact@parasolcooperative.org or to the U.S. mailing address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to Parasol within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Parasol also will not be bound by them.

7.    ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

7.1    SMS Messaging and Phone Calls.  The Services may allow us to contact you via telephone or text messages. You agree that Parasol may contact you via telephone or text messages at any of the phone numbers provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your use of the Services. 

7.2    Updating These Terms. We may modify these Terms from time to time in which case we will update the “Last Revised” date at the top of these Terms.  If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you, such as by email and/or by placing a prominent notice on the first page of the Website. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes.  The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms. Your continued access or use of the Services after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms.

 
7.3    Termination of License and Your Account. If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by Parasol and your permission to use the Services will terminate automatically. Additionally, we reserve the right to terminate access to the Services to any person, including you, or remove or block Your Content, at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason. If we delete your Account for any suspected breach of these Terms by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name. In the event of Account deletion for any reason, we may, but are not obligated to, delete any of Your Content. We shall not be responsible for the failure to delete or deletion of Your Content. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by Parasol or you. Termination will not limit any of the Parasol’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity. 

7.4    Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Parasol for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Parasol shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.

7.5    California Residents. If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

7.6    Export Laws. The Services are controlled and operated from the United States. The software contained in the Services is subject to United States export controls. No software for the Services may be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported in violation of any applicable laws or regulations. You represent that you are not (a) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and (b) listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

 

7.7    Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by Parasol but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of Parasol. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing.  No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect. The Services are operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws rules, and the proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to any of the same will be the arbitration venue set forth in Section 6, or if arbitration does not apply, then the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.
