Limitation of Liability

Anviz WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF Anviz HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND SITE CONTENT.

Disputes with Anviz

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of California without reference to conflicts of law rules. For any dispute relating to this Agreement, the Parties agree to the following:

• For the purpose of this provision “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Anviz regarding any aspect of your relationship with Anviz, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort, including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence, or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability, or scope of this provision, with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below.
• “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

For all Disputes, you must first give Anviz an opportunity to resolve the Dispute by mailing written notification of your dispute to Anviz. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Anviz does not resolve the Dispute within 60 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in mediation arbitration. If those alternative dispute resolutions fail to resolve the Dispute, you may then pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Binding Mediation

For all Disputes, you agree that Disputes may be submitted to a mediation with Anviz before JAMS with mutually agreed and selected single Mediator before Arbitration or any other legal or administrative proceedings.

Arbitration Procedures

You agree that JAMS will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this provision.

For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because the Services and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

The arbitrator may award relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties.

You or Anviz may initiate arbitration in County of San Francisco, California. In the event that you select the federal judicial district that includes your billing, home or business address, the Dispute may be transferred to the County of San Francisco California for Arbitration.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise agreed in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims such as a class action, consolidated action, or private attorney general action.

Neither you, nor any other user of the Site or Services can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding before any state or federal courts. You specifically agree that you waive your right for any and all Class Action proceedings against Anviz.

Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement you and Anviz are each waiving the right to a jury trial but agree to a trial before a judge as a bench trail.

Severability

If any clause within this provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this provision, and the remainder of this provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire provision will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Governing Law & Venue

The Federal Arbitration Act, California state law, and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms. 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 this Agreement. Except for Disputes subject to arbitration as described above, any disputes relating to these Terms or the Services will be heard in the federal or state courts located in County of San Francisco, California.

Other Terms

If any of these Terms is found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. Anviz’s failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such terms. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Anviz with respect to the Services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, or agreements between you and Anviz.

California Consumer Notice

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following consumer rights notice:  California residents may reach the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by post at 1625 North Market Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834 or by telephone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210 or Hearing Impaired at TDD (800) 326-2297 or TDD (916) 322-1700.
