14. Disclaimers

YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A WRITING BY US, OUR SERVICES AND ANY CONTENT THEREIN ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, PRIOS DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT OR FREE OF ERRORS, BUGS OR DEFECTS.

THE CONTENT AND MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TAX, LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, MEDICAL OR OTHER ADVICE AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY UPON THE CONTENT AND MATERIALS AS SUCH. YOU AGREE THAT PRIOS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND YOU ACCEPT EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY FOR, ANY AND ALL DECISIONS MADE OR ACTIONS TAKEN BASED ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE CONTENT AND MATERIALS PROVIDED BY PRIOS HEREUNDER.

THE CONTENT AND MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TAX, LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, MEDICAL OR OTHER ADVICE AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY UPON THE CONTENT AND MATERIALS AS SUCH. YOU AGREE THAT PRIOS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND YOU ACCEPT EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY FOR, ANY AND ALL DECISIONS MADE OR ACTIONS TAKEN BASED ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE CONTENT AND MATERIALS PROVIDED BY PRIOS HEREUNDER.

15. Disclaimer or Certain Damages; Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PRIOS PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY—WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE—FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, EVEN IF SOME OF THE PRIOS PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF THE PRIOS PARTIES FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $50.00 USD OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO USE OUR SERVICES.

The limitations set forth in this Section 15 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of the PRIOS Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read this Section 16 carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with PRIOS and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

No Representative Actions. You and PRIOS agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and PRIOS and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or PRIOS seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or PRIOS seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and PRIOS waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against PRIOS or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact PRIOS and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to PRIOS by email at legal@principles.com or by certified mail addressed to PRIOS, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., 25 Ford Road, Westport, Connecticut 06880. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and PRIOS cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Fairfield County, Connecticut or may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $5,000, unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules"). For purposes of this Section 16, you will be deemed a "consumer" if you use the Services for your personal, family or household purposes. The most recent version of the JAMS Rules is available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and PRIOS agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 16 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual&39;s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual&39;s use of the Services.

The arbitrator, PRIOS, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein, including the resolution thereof. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

You and PRIOS agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and PRIOS will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by PRIOS, PRIOS will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and PRIOS agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Connecticut and the United States sitting in Fairfield County, Connecticut have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and PRIOS will not have the right to assert the claim.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 16 by emailing us at legal@principles.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 17.

If any portion of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, then (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 16 or the parties&39; ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 16; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 16 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 16 will be enforceable.

17. Governing Law and Venue

Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. With respect to any other proceeding that is not subject to arbitration under these Terms and cannot be heard in small claims court, the state and federal courts located in New York, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction. You waive any objection to venue in any such courts.

18. Modifying and Terminating our Services

We reserve the right to modify our Services or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Services at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.

19. Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

20. Supplemental Terms; Entire Agreement.

We may supply different or additional terms in relation to some of our Services, and those different or additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. We will notify you of the existence of any new different or additional terms in accordance with these Terms. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict, unless the additional terms state otherwise. These Terms, as supplemented by any such different or additional terms referenced in this Section 20, set forth the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, of the parties with respect to the Services and the subject matter of these Terms.

21. Miscellaneous

The failure of PRIOS to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
