YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE PROPERTIES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROPERTIES AND ANY SUPPORT OR OTHER SERVICES THAT MAY BE PERFORMED OR PROVIDED BY OR RELATED TO THE PROPERTIES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND WE HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTIES AND ANY RELATED SERVICES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, OF TITLE, AND OF NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY US OR OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Limitation on Liability.
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LEGATO BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER, MOBILE DEVICE OR OTHER EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROPERTIES, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES (OTHER THAN AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN CASES INVOLVING PERSONAL INJURY OR AS SET FORTH IN A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US GOVERNING YOUR PURCHASE OF ONE OF OUR PRODUCTS) INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PROPERTIES EXCEED $100.00. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Limitation on Time to File Claims.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PROPERTIES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. 22. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including actual attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to your misuse of the Properties or your breach of these Terms. 23. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Governing Law. (a) PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. EVERY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND/OR THE PRIVACY POLICIES OR A BREACH THEREOF (A “DISPUTE”) WILL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION. (b) These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. You and Legato hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit and attorn to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts, for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms. (c) This Section 22(c) through Section 22(i) is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and us relating to the Properties, these Terms, and/or the Privacy Policies, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, you and Legato each waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Arbitration Agreement includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms and/or the Privacy Policies, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Each party’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. (d) You and Legato agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Legato agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory 9 relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). (e) Legato is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly by emailing our customer experience team at: support@legatohearing.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Legato should be sent to Legato Audio, Inc., Attention: Legal Department, 14 Milliston Road #212, Millis, MA 02054, Millis, MA 02054. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Legato and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, Legato or you may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Legato or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Legato is entitled. (f) Arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator through National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) under its operative Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM Rules”), available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If the arbitration is filed with a different arbitration provider than the one required by this Arbitration Agreement, that provider shall immediately dismiss the arbitration demand. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Boston, Massachusetts. If the parties are unable to agree on a location within Boston, Massachusetts, the determination shall be made by NAM. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the NAM Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. However, a court has exclusive authority to rule on Section 22(d), including any claim that Section 22(d) is unenforceable, illegal, void, or voidable, or that it has been breached. Any challenges related to this Arbitration Agreement in court must be brought in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions under the NAM Rules or applicable federal or state law, against all appropriate represented parties and counsel. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court. Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) by a court in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. An arbitration award shall have no preclusive effect in another arbitration or court proceeding involving Legato and a different individual. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Legato agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the NAM Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the NAM Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. (g) Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by NAM’s Fees for Disputes Where One of the Parties Is a Consumer, available at www.namadr.com/rescources /rules-fees-forms/, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Legato will pay the portion of the initial case opening fees (if any) that exceeds the filing fee to file the case in a court of competent jurisdiction embracing the location of the arbitration. Payment of all other filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by NAM Rules. If the arbitrator finds 10 that you cannot afford to pay the filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the applicable arbitration provider, Legato will pay them for you, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or asserted in bad faith. You and Legato agree that arbitration should be cost-effective for all parties and that any party may engage with NAM to address the reduction or deferral of fees. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the NAM Rules, or by statute. (h) All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. (i) If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than Section 22(c) above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 22(c) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply. 24. Severability and Waiver. Except as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement, if any provision of these Terms is illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision will be amended to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original provision and all other provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. 25. Force Majeure. We will not be liable for any delays or non-performance of our obligations arising out of causes not within our reasonable control, including, without limitation, actions or decrees of governmental authorities, criminal acts of third parties, earthquakes, flood, hurricanes, ice storms and other natural disasters, epidemic, war, terrorism, acts of God, or fire. 26. Amendment. Except as set forth in Section 4 above titled “Changes to the Terms,” no change, consent, or waiver under these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement is sought. 27. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, these Terms are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and/or heirs, executors, administrators, affiliates, and legal representatives, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer on any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms. If (and only if) you are accessing and using the Application in connection with an iOS-based product, you acknowledge and agree that Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and Apple’s subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance of these 11 Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary hereof. 28. Coordination with Apple Minimum Terms. If (and only to the extent) you are accessing and using the Application in connection with an iOS-based product (the “Apple App”), then the additional terms and conditions of this Section 27 apply to you. These Terms are concluded between you and Legato only, and not with Apple. You and Legato each acknowledge that Legato, and not Apple, is responsible for the Apple App and the content thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms.
