Any release, disclaimer, or limitation stated elsewhere in this User Agreement is in addition to and shall not limit, restrict, or otherwise affect the scope or enforcement of any release, disclaimer, or limitation stated in this section.
This section is part of the basis of the bargain between you and AscentLogic and shall apply to all Claims (as defined in Section 16 – Dispute Resolution), even if we have been advised of the possibility of any such liability or damage and even if these remedies fail their essential purpose. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of limitations in this Section 14, so they may not apply to you.
You agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if we are found liable in any Claim (as defined in Section 16 – Dispute Resolution), our total liability to you or to any third party (whether jointly, severally, or individually) shall not exceed the amount paid by you to us in connection with the transaction giving rise to such liability. If no such amount was paid by you to us, our total liability under this section shall not exceed $100.
You agree that, except as otherwise specifically provided under Section 14(A)(1) – Limitation of Damages, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not under any circumstances have any liability whatsoever to you or any third party (whether jointly, severally, or individually) for any (a) damages or losses of any kind (known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, direct or indirect) arising out of or in any way related to any disclaimer provided in this User Agreement; (b) indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or (c) loss of use, data, opportunity, goodwill, reputation, profit, or revenue.
You hereby unconditionally release AscentLogic from any and all liability for any losses and damages (whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, and including attorney fees) arising out of or in any way related to any of the following: (a) your violation of or failure to perform any obligation under this User Agreement; (b) your use of any Third-Party Content; (c) our rejection or removal of your Custom Content; (d) our rejection of or refusal to accept any subscription (in whole or in part); (e) our cancelation or discontinuance (in whole or in part) of any Promotion; (f) any incorrect pricing; (g) any inaccurate or incomplete description of our Services; (h) your failure or refusal to keep your Account login information confidential; (i) our termination or suspension of your Account; (j) your cancelation of your Account; and (k) your improper use of our Services.
You acknowledge and agree that under this general release, you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the scope of this general release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist at the time you agree to this release.
If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which reads: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor 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."
You hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including court fees, attorney fees, travel expenses, and other related costs and expenses) incurred in connection with our efforts to obtain a stay or dismissal of any Claim (as defined in Section 16 – Dispute Resolution) from which you released us of liability under this Section 14(B) – General Release of Liability.
With respect to any judicial, administrative, or arbitration action, suit, claim, investigation, or proceeding (including any related appeal or review) (each a "Proceeding") brought by any third party against us (or any of our affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, and other representatives) (collectively "Indemnitees") and that arises out of (a) your use of our Services, (b) your violation of or failure to perform any obligation under this User Agreement, (c) any untrue representation or statement made by you in this User Agreement, or (d) your Custom Content (each a "Nonparty Claim"), you agree that you will indemnify and defend the Indemnitees from and against any amount (including any interest) awarded in or paid in settlement of a Proceeding (collectively "Losses") and any reasonable out-of-pocket expense (including court filing fees, court costs, arbitration fees, witness fees, and attorneys' and other professionals' fees and disbursements) incurred in defending a Proceeding or in any related investigation or negotiation (collectively "Litigation Expenses") arising out of such Proceeding, except to the extent that such Indemnitees negligently or intentionally caused such Losses or Litigation Expenses.
To assume the defense of a Nonparty Claim, you must notify the Indemnitee that you are doing so. Promptly thereafter, you shall retain to represent the Indemnitee in the Nonparty Claim with independent legal counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.
An Indemnitee is entitled to participate in the defense of a Nonparty Claim. An Indemnitee may defend a Nonparty Claim with counsel of its own choosing and without you participating if (a) you notify the Indemnitee that you does not wish to defend the Nonparty Claim, (b) by midnight at the end of the 10th day after the Indemnitee notifies you of the Nonparty Claim, you fail to notify the Indemnitee that you wish to defend the Nonparty Claim, or (c) representation of you and the Indemnitee by the same counsel would, in the opinion of that counsel, constitute a conflict of interest.
You shall pay any Litigation Expenses that an Indemnitee incurs in connection with defense of the Nonparty Claim before you assume the defense of that Nonparty Claim, except with respect to any period during which the Indemnitee fails to timely notify you of that Nonparty Claim. You will not be liable for any Litigation Expenses that an Indemnitee incurs in connection with defense of a Nonparty Claim after you assume the defense of that Nonparty Claim, other than Litigation Expenses that the Indemnitee incurs in employing counsel in accordance with Section 15(C) – Defense of a Nonparty Claim, which Litigation Expenses you shall pay promptly as they are incurred.
After you assume the defense of a Nonparty Claim, you may contest, pay, or settle the Nonparty Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee only if that settlement (a) does not entail any admission on the part of the Indemnitee that it violated any law or infringed the rights of any person or entity, (b) has no effect on any other claim against the Indemnitee, (c) provides as the claimant's sole relief monetary damages that are paid in full by you, and (d) requires that the claimant release the Indemnitee from all liability alleged in the Nonparty Claim.
You and AscentLogic agree that any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, or cause of action arising out of this User Agreement, your Account, your relationship with us, your use of or inability to use our Services (through our Website or otherwise), or any subscription you purchase to use our Services (collectively "Claim") will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this section. Please read this section carefully. This section affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how any Claim you and AscentLogic may have against each other is resolved.
Except where prohibited by applicable law, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, ANY CLAIM MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH CLAIM ACCRUED OR BE FOREVER BARRED. You agree that this limitations period is reasonable due to the nature of the transactions contemplated in this User Agreement.
To the extent not otherwise governed by federal law, this User Agreement and any Claim or Proceeding arising out of the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement or any party's rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Oregon or of any other jurisdiction) that would cause or result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Oregon.
We want to avoid litigation, and we hope you do, too. Therefore, if either party plans to pursue legal action, such party must first send (by certified or registered mail) a completed Notice of Dispute form to the other party. To initiate dispute resolution, you must request a copy of the Notice of Dispute form from AscentLogic. We will send a Notice of Dispute to you at the address associated with your Account or otherwise provided by you. All information called for in the Notice of Dispute must be provided. You should send your completed Notice of Dispute to us at the following address:
AscentLogic, LLC
14925 SW Barrows Rd.
Suite 109 - PMB-110
Portland, OR 97223
Email: support@ascentlogic.com
If the parties are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 60 days after the Notice is sent, you or AscentLogic may initiate arbitration under Section 16(D) – Agreement to Arbitrate.
You and AscentLogic agree that any Claim shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in state or federal court. You and AscentLogic agree that each waives any right to a jury trial under this Section 16(D) – Agreement to Arbitrate ("Agreement to Arbitrate").
YOU AND ASCENTLOGIC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ASCENTLOGIC OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIM AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT ANY OTHER PARTY.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the applicable law and terms of this User Agreement as a court would.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or in any way relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate (or any portion thereof), or of this User Agreement (or any portion thereof), including any claim that all or any portion of the Agreement to Arbitrate or this User Agreement is unenforceable.
The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different AscentLogic members but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same AscentLogic member to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitration of any Claim shall be held in Portland, Oregon and will be conducted and governed by the Arbitration Services of Portland ("ASP") under its rules and procedures (which are available on ASP's website), except as such rules and procedures are modified as follows:
The use of the word "arbitrator" in this provision shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over any arbitration. Rather, the ASP rules shall determine the number of arbitrators that may preside over any given arbitration conducted under this Agreement to Arbitrate.
In the event that ASP does not exist or is otherwise unavailable to conduct the arbitration, the Company may (in its sole discretion) select a replacement arbitration organization located in Multnomah County, Oregon.
A form for initiating any arbitration proceeding is available on ASP's website. In addition to filing such form with ASP in accordance with its rules and procedures, to initiate arbitration proceedings you must send a copy of the completed form by certified mail to AscentLogic at the following address:
AscentLogic, LLC
14925 SW Barrows Rd.
Suite 109 - PMB-110
Portland, OR 97223
Email: support@ascentlogic.com
In the event that AscentLogic initiates arbitration against you, AscentLogic will send a copy of the completed form to the address associated with your Account or otherwise provided by you. Any settlement offer made by you or AscentLogic shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate, Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the ASP's rules.
With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 16(D)(1) – Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief, if an arbitrator or court decides that any portion of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in Section 16(D)(1) – Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of this User Agreement (including all other provisions of Section 16 – Dispute Resolution) shall continue to apply.
If an arbitrator or court decides that the requirement set forth in Section 16(D)(2) – Arbitration Procedures that any arbitration under this User Agreement to Arbitration be held in Portland, Oregon is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply and any arbitration shall instead be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or AscentLogic may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
YOU MAY CHOOSE TO REJECT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ("OPT-OUT") BY MAILING ASCENTLOGIC A WRITTEN OPT-OUT NOTICE ("OPT-OUT NOTICE"). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE POSTMARKED NOT LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH YOU ACCEPT THIS USER AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND YOU MUST MAIL THE OPT-OUT NOTICE VIA CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN-RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO:
AscentLogic, LLC
14925 SW Barrows Rd.
Suite 109 - PMB-110
Portland, OR 97223
Email: support@ascentlogic.com
To opt-out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, you must request a copy of the Opt-Out Notice form from AscentLogic. You must then complete and submit the Opt-Out Notice form to AscentLogic by providing the information called for in the form. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can Opt-Out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you Opt-Out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of this User Agreement (including all other provisions of Section 16 – Dispute Resolution) will continue to apply to you. If you Opt-Out of this Agreement to Arbitrate, this has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with AscentLogic.
Notwithstanding any provision in this User Agreement to the contrary, you and AscentLogic agree that if AscentLogic makes any change (other than a change to any notice address or website link) to this Agreement to Arbitrate, that change shall not apply to any Claim that was filed in a legal action or proceeding against AscentLogic prior to the effective date of such change. The change shall apply to all other Claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and AscentLogic.
