All notices which any party to these Terms may be required or may wish to give may be given by addressing them to the other party at: us-legal@traceair.net, for notices sent to TraceAir and, for notices sent to User, at the address currently maintained in TraceAir’s records by (a) personal delivery, (b) sending such notices by commercial overnight courier with written verification of actual receipt, (c) by email, effective (A) when the sender receives an automated message from the recipient confirming delivery or (B) one hour after the time sent (as recorded on the device from which the sender sent the email) unless the sender receives an automated message that the email has not been delivered, whichever happens first, but if the delivery or receipt is on a day which is not a business day or is after 5:00 pm (addressee’s time) it is deemed to be received at 9:00 am on the following business day, or (d) sending them by registered or certified mail. If so mailed or otherwise delivered, such notices shall be deemed and presumed to have been given on the earlier of the date of actual receipt or three (3) days after mailing or authorized form of delivery. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to these Terms shall be in the English language.
15.2 Governing Law and Venue. These Terms and the rights and obligations of the parties to and under this agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the United States and the State of California as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed in such State without giving effect to conflicts of laws rules or principles. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to these Terms. The parties further agree to waive and opt-out of any application of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), or any version thereof, adopted by any state of the United States in any form. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.3 below, TraceAir has the right to pursue equitable relief in the state and federal courts located in San Mateo County California, and User agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
15.3 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
(a) This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, 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) that may arise between User and TraceAir. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided to User (such as TraceAir’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever User also asserts claims against TraceAir in the same proceeding.
(b) This Provision provides that all disputes between User and TraceAir shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of these Terms constitutes a waiver of User’s right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). User may, however, opt-out of this Provision, which means User would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). BOTH USER AND TRACEAIR AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
(c) Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, User must first give TraceAir an opportunity to resolve the dispute, which is accomplished by emailing TraceAir at legal@traceair.net the following information: (1) User’s name, (2) User’s address, (3) a written description of the dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief User seeks. If TraceAir does not resolve the dispute within 45 days after receiving User’s notification, then User may pursue the dispute in arbitration. User may pursue the dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
(d) Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out. Notwithstanding the above, User or TraceAir may choose to pursue a dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) the dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) USER OPTS-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT USER FIRST CONSENTS TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). User may opt-out of this Provision by emailing TraceAir at legal@traceair.net the following information: (1) User’s name; (2) User’s address; (3) a clear statement that User does not wish to resolve disputes with TraceAir through arbitration. A decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on User’s relationship with TraceAir, but any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and User must pursue User’s dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
(e) Arbitration Procedures:
(f) Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any 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 for purposes of enforcement.
(g) Location of Arbitration. User or TraceAir may initiate arbitration in either the San Mateo County California or the federal judicial district that includes User’s billing address. In the event that User selects the latter, TraceAir may transfer the arbitration to San Mateo County California so long as TraceAir agrees to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines User incurs as a result of the transfer.
(h) Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. So long as User places a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, TraceAir will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, User will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that User incurs in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if User provides notice and negotiates in good faith with TraceAir as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that User is the prevailing party in the arbitration, User will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
(i) Class Action Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, 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) unless both User and TraceAir specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If User chooses to pursue the dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to User. Neither User, nor any other user of the TraceAir Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
(j) No Judge or Jury In Arbitration. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. User understands and agrees that by accepting this Provision, User and TraceAir are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, User and TraceAir might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that User would have if User went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
(k) 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 whose remainder 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.
(l) Continuation. This Provision shall survive the termination of these Terms and User’s discontinued use of the TraceAir Platform. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, TraceAir agrees that if it makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), User may reject any such change and require TraceAir to adhere to the language as of the date User entered into this Agreement if a dispute between TraceAir and User arises.
15. 4 Publicity. TraceAir has the right to reference and use User’s name and trademarks and disclose the nature of the Services provided hereunder in each case in TraceAir business development and marketing efforts, including without limitation TraceAir’s web site.
15.5 Export. The TraceAir Platform utilizes software and technology that may be subject to United States and foreign export controls. User acknowledges and agrees that the Services shall not be used, and none of the underlying information, software, or technology may be transferred or otherwise exported or re-exported to countries as to which the United States maintains an embargo (collectively, “Embargoed Countries”), or to or by a national or resident thereof, or any person or entity on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s List of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Table of Denial Orders (collectively, “Designated Nationals”). The lists of Embargoed Countries and Designated Nationals are subject to change without notice. By using the TraceAir Platform, User represents and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of an Embargoed Country or Designated National. The TraceAir Platform may use encryption technology that is subject to licensing requirements under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-774 and Council Regulation (EC) No. 1334/2000. User agrees to comply strictly with all applicable export laws and assume sole responsibility for obtaining licenses to export or re-export as may be required. TraceAir and its licensors make no representation that the TraceAir Platform is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Any diversion of the User Data contrary to law is prohibited. None of the User Data, nor any information acquired through the use of the TraceAir Platform, is or will be used for nuclear activities, chemical or biological weapons, or missile projects.
15.6 General. User shall not assign its rights hereunder, or delegate the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder, whether by merger, acquisition, sale of assets, operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of TraceAir. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence is null and void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties thereto. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms, these Terms may be amended or supplemented only by a writing that refers explicitly to these Terms and that is signed on behalf of both parties. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce rights. No waiver will be effective unless in a writing signed on behalf of the party against whom the waiver is asserted. If any of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable that term will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remainder of the Terms will remain in full force. The parties are independent contractors and nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating an agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or simultaneous understandings, representations, discussions, negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral. Except for User’s payment obligations hereunder, neither party shall be liable to the other party or any third party for failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms when such failure or delay is due to any cause beyond the control of the party concerned, including, without limitation, acts of God, governmental orders or restrictions, fire, or flood, provided that upon cessation of such events such party shall thereupon promptly perform or complete the performance of its obligations hereunder.

As between TraceAir and User, all right, title and interest in the Aggregated Statistics and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by TraceAir. User acknowledges that TraceAir will be compiling Aggregated Statistics based on User Data and information input by other customers into the TraceAir Platform and User agrees that TraceAir may (a) make such Aggregated Statistics publicly available, and (b) use such information to the extent and in the manner required by applicable law or regulation and for purposes of data gathering, analysis, service enhancement and marketing, provided that such data and information does not identify User or its Confidential Information.

NEITHER TRACEAIR NOR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES FOR LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE OR LOST BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, EVEN IF TRACEAIR OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LICENSING, PROVISION OR USE OF THE TRACEAIR PLATFORM, SUPPORT SERVICES OR THE RESULTS THEREOF. TRACEAIR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES.
12.2 Limits on Liability.

12.3 Essential Purpose. USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TERMS IN THIS SECTION 12 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND SHALL APPLY EVEN IF AN EXCLUSIVE OR LIMITED REMEDY STATED HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.
13.1 Term. The term of these Terms commence on the Effective Date and continues until the expiration or termination of all Subscription Term(s), unless earlier terminated as provided in these Terms or in an applicable separate agreement between User and TraceAir referencing these Terms
13.2 Termination for Cause. A party may terminate these Terms upon written notice to the other party in the event the other party (a) files a petition for bankruptcy or has a petition for bankruptcy filed against it that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing or admits its inability to pay its debts as they mature, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or ceases to function as a going concern or to conduct its operations in the normal course of business and such termination shall occur immediately upon notice; or (b) commits a material breach of any provision of these Terms and does not remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the other party or such other period as the parties may agree. In no event shall any termination relieve User of the obligation to pay any fees payable to TraceAir for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
13.3 Termination for Convenience. User shall have the right to terminate its use of the TraceAir Platform for convenience on at thirty (30) days prior written notice to TraceAir; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall User be entitled to any refund of any fees as a result of such termination.

Upon expiration or termination of these Terms, (a) User’s use of and access to the TraceAir Platform and TraceAir's performance of all Support Services shall cease; and (b) all fees and other amounts owed to TraceAir shall be immediately due and payable by User.

13.5 Survival. This Section and Sections 1, 2.3, 2.4, 5.2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.4, 14 and 15 shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
14.1 No Agency or Partnership. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms or User’s use of any part of the TraceAir Platform. User does not have any authority whatsoever to bind TraceAir in any respect. The parties agree that TraceAir is a technology company whose primary business is providing a platform upon which users can share medical imaging and data. Neither TraceAir nor any users of the TraceAir Platform may direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other, or create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other.
14.2 Disputes Between Users.
(a) Images, information and data posted on the TraceAir Platform are the property of the users who upload them. To the extent User is permitted to access other users’ images, information and/or data, such images, information and/or data are licensed to User by their owner and not by TraceAir. User’s interactions with individuals and/or organizations found on or through the TraceAir Platform, including User’s decision to use images, information and/or data provided by such individuals and/or organizations is User’s decision for which User alone is responsible. User understands and agrees that TraceAir does not and cannot make representations as to the suitability of (i) any images, information and/or data User may access via the TraceAir Platform; (ii) any individual User may decide to interact with on or through the TraceAir Platform and/or (iii) the accuracy or suitability of any advice, information, or recommendations made by any user.
(b) IF THERE IS A DISPUTE BETWEEN USERS OF THE TRACEAIR PLATFORM, OR BETWEEN ANY USER OF THE TRACEAIR PLATFORM AND ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY, USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT TRACEAIR IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO BECOME INVOLVED. IN THE EVENT THAT A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN USER AND ANY OTHER USER OR THIRD PARTY, USER HEREBY RELEASES TRACEAIR, ITS OFFICERS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, AND SUCCESSORS IN RIGHTS FROM ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND OR NATURE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO SUCH DISPUTES. IF USER IS A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, USER WAIVES CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §1542, WHICH SAYS: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
14.3 Intellectual Property Infringement.
TraceAir respects the intellectual property rights of others and encourages its users to do the same. Accordingly, TraceAir has a policy of removing User Data that violate intellectual property rights of others, suspending access to the TraceAir Platform (or any portion thereof) to any user who uses the TraceAir Platform in violation of someone’s intellectual property rights, and/or terminating in appropriate circumstances the account of any user who uses the TraceAir Platform in violation of someone’s intellectual property rights.
Pursuant to Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512 (the “Digital Millennium Copyright Act” or “DMCA”), TraceAir has implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims in accordance with such law.

Unless the notice pertains to copyright or other intellectual property infringement, the agent will be unable to address the listed concern. TraceAir reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the account or access of any user of the TraceAir Platform who is the subject of repeated DMCA or other infringement notifications.
15. 1 Notices. All notices which any party to these Terms may be required or may wish to give may be given by addressing them to the other party at: us-legal@traceair.net, for notices sent to TraceAir and, for notices sent to User, at the address currently maintained in TraceAir’s records by (a) personal delivery, (b) sending such notices by commercial overnight courier with written verification of actual receipt, (c) by email, effective (A) when the sender receives an automated message from the recipient confirming delivery or (B) one hour after the time sent (as recorded on the device from which the sender sent the email) unless the sender receives an automated message that the email has not been delivered, whichever happens first, but if the delivery or receipt is on a day which is not a business day or is after 5:00 pm (addressee’s time) it is deemed to be received at 9:00 am on the following business day, or (d) sending them by registered or certified mail. If so mailed or otherwise delivered, such notices shall be deemed and presumed to have been given on the earlier of the date of actual receipt or three (3) days after mailing or authorized form of delivery. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to these Terms shall be in the English language.
15.2 Governing Law and Venue. These Terms and the rights and obligations of the parties to and under this agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the United States and the State of California as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed in such State without giving effect to conflicts of laws rules or principles. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to these Terms. The parties further agree to waive and opt-out of any application of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), or any version thereof, adopted by any state of the United States in any form. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.3 below, TraceAir has the right to pursue equitable relief in the state and federal courts located in San Mateo County California, and User agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
15.3 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
(a) This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, 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) that may arise between User and TraceAir. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided to User (such as TraceAir’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever User also asserts claims against TraceAir in the same proceeding.
(b) This Provision provides that all disputes between User and TraceAir shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of these Terms constitutes a waiver of User’s right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). User may, however, opt-out of this Provision, which means User would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). BOTH USER AND TRACEAIR AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
(c) Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, User must first give TraceAir an opportunity to resolve the dispute, which is accomplished by emailing TraceAir at legal@traceair.net the following information: (1) User’s name, (2) User’s address, (3) a written description of the dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief User seeks. If TraceAir does not resolve the dispute within 45 days after receiving User’s notification, then User may pursue the dispute in arbitration. User may pursue the dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
(d) Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out. Notwithstanding the above, User or TraceAir may choose to pursue a dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) the dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) USER OPTS-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT USER FIRST CONSENTS TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). User may opt-out of this Provision by emailing TraceAir at legal@traceair.net the following information: (1) User’s name; (2) User’s address; (3) a clear statement that User does not wish to resolve disputes with TraceAir through arbitration. A decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on User’s relationship with TraceAir, but any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and User must pursue User’s dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
(e) Arbitration Procedures:
(f) Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any 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 for purposes of enforcement.
(g) Location of Arbitration. User or TraceAir may initiate arbitration in either the San Mateo County California or the federal judicial district that includes User’s billing address. In the event that User selects the latter, TraceAir may transfer the arbitration to San Mateo County California so long as TraceAir agrees to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines User incurs as a result of the transfer.
(h) Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. So long as User places a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, TraceAir will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, User will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that User incurs in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if User provides notice and negotiates in good faith with TraceAir as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that User is the prevailing party in the arbitration, User will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
(i) Class Action Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, 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) unless both User and TraceAir specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If User chooses to pursue the dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to User. Neither User, nor any other user of the TraceAir Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
(j) No Judge or Jury In Arbitration. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. User understands and agrees that by accepting this Provision, User and TraceAir are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, User and TraceAir might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that User would have if User went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
(k) 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 whose remainder 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.
(l) Continuation. This Provision shall survive the termination of these Terms and User’s discontinued use of the TraceAir Platform. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, TraceAir agrees that if it makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), User may reject any such change and require TraceAir to adhere to the language as of the date User entered into this Agreement if a dispute between TraceAir and User arises.
15. 4 Publicity. TraceAir has the right to reference and use User’s name and trademarks and disclose the nature of the Services provided hereunder in each case in TraceAir business development and marketing efforts, including without limitation TraceAir’s web site.
15.5 Export. The TraceAir Platform utilizes software and technology that may be subject to United States and foreign export controls. User acknowledges and agrees that the Services shall not be used, and none of the underlying information, software, or technology may be transferred or otherwise exported or re-exported to countries as to which the United States maintains an embargo (collectively, “Embargoed Countries”), or to or by a national or resident thereof, or any person or entity on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s List of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Table of Denial Orders (collectively, “Designated Nationals”). The lists of Embargoed Countries and Designated Nationals are subject to change without notice. By using the TraceAir Platform, User represents and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of an Embargoed Country or Designated National. The TraceAir Platform may use encryption technology that is subject to licensing requirements under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-774 and Council Regulation (EC) No. 1334/2000. User agrees to comply strictly with all applicable export laws and assume sole responsibility for obtaining licenses to export or re-export as may be required. TraceAir and its licensors make no representation that the TraceAir Platform is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Any diversion of the User Data contrary to law is prohibited. None of the User Data, nor any information acquired through the use of the TraceAir Platform, is or will be used for nuclear activities, chemical or biological weapons, or missile projects.
15.6 General. User shall not assign its rights hereunder, or delegate the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder, whether by merger, acquisition, sale of assets, operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of TraceAir. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence is null and void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties thereto. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms, these Terms may be amended or supplemented only by a writing that refers explicitly to these Terms and that is signed on behalf of both parties. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce rights. No waiver will be effective unless in a writing signed on behalf of the party against whom the waiver is asserted. If any of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable that term will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remainder of the Terms will remain in full force. The parties are independent contractors and nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating an agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or simultaneous understandings, representations, discussions, negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral. Except for User’s payment obligations hereunder, neither party shall be liable to the other party or any third party for failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms when such failure or delay is due to any cause beyond the control of the party concerned, including, without limitation, acts of God, governmental orders or restrictions, fire, or flood, provided that upon cessation of such events such party shall thereupon promptly perform or complete the performance of its obligations hereunder.
