  1. Indemnity and Release

You agree to indemnify, defend (at our request), and hold harmless Cloud + Mortar, and its affiliates, licensors, licensees, successors and assigns and each of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, partners and service providers (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all complaints, charges, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to: (a) your access to or use of the Services or any element or component thereof by you or any other person accessing the Services via your Account, email account(s), social media account(s) or ISP address (including negligent or wrongful conduct); (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of any third party right; and (d) your breach of these Terms and Conditions.

Without limiting anything set out above, you hereby release each of the Indemnified Parties from all damages, claims, demands, liabilities, actions and costs of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with these Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy and/or any use by you of the web site. California residents, you expressly waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” You also waive any and all benefits and rights that would otherwise accrue to you by reason of the provisions of any federal or state statute or principle of common law of any state of the United States, or any political entity, nation, or province or local law or regulation that may govern this release, which statute, regulation, law or principle provides in substance something similar to California Civil Code Section 1542.

  1.  Location of Service

Cloud + Mortar makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States. Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Services or any portion of the Services, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion.

  1. Arbitration

THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE MOST DISPUTES WITH CLOUD + MORTAR:

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, the use of the Services or the purchase of any Products that cannot be resolved informally between you and Cloud + Mortar or in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Cloud + Mortar are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or other intellectual property infringement.

Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms and Conditions. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than US$10,000.00 may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is US$10,000.00 or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Cloud + Mortar. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon each of us.

Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND CLOUD + MORTAR WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Cloud + Mortar are instead electing to have all claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. If any litigation should arise between you and Cloud + Mortar over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND CLOUD + MORTAR WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth below.

Confidentiality. No part of the procedures will be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order, or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information needed to enforce this arbitration agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Cloud + Mortar may bring an individual action in small claims court.

Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your agreement with Cloud + Mortar.
