You understand and agree that neither the third party nor any other party involved in this payment processing for us will be liable for any damages as a result of our failure or the third party’s failure to provide these services.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms and other agreements, rules, and policies incorporated by reference to these Terms including, without limitation, our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us. It supersedes any prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between you and us regarding the subject matter contained in these Terms.
ARBITRATION
We both agree to give the other party prompt written notice of any claim, controversy, or dispute arising under or related to these Terms, and we both agree to engage in good faith discussions to resolve the matter. If those discussions fail to resolve the matter promptly, either party may request the other to participate in mediation before a mutually agreed mediator. All negotiations during this process are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of evidentiary rules. Any controversy, claim, or dispute that is not resolved through the procedures set forth above within 60 days (or such longer period as the parties may agree) will be resolved by arbitration before a sole arbitrator who is an attorney, under the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision and award of the arbitrator will be final and binding, and the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will be held in the metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri area (or any other place agreed upon at the time by the parties). Each of us will pay our own attorneys’ fees. A party may at any time seek an injunction or other equitable relief in aid of arbitration. The arbitrator will not have authority to award punitive damages or other damages inconsistent with the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the rules of the American Arbitration Association, the provisions of this Agreement will govern. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not as a class or collective action. The interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this class action waiver may only be determined by a court and not an arbitrator.
GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement is governed by the internal laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflicts of law principles, and all claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement, including any breach, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, will likewise be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, excluding its conflicts of law principles.
MISCELLANEOUS
All of our remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. Our failure to exercise any remedy or enforce any portion of the Terms will not operate as a waiver of any remedy or of the right to enforce any portion of these Terms at any later time.
If any provision of the Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
These Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may transfer, assign or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.
You are responsible for compliance with all applicable regulations and laws.
No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms or use of the Site.
