Warranty Disclaimer

THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. YOU USE THE APPLICATION SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION WILL PROVIDE CONTINUOUS, PROMPT, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE.

Limitation of Liability and Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, METOLIUS, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICES PROVIDERS AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON UPON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

IN NO EVENT WILL METOLIUS' TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPLICATION OR MATERIALS EXCEED $100.

The exclusions and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Metolius and you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify Metolius, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Application.

Changes to these Terms of Use

Metolius reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If we change these Terms, we"ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms within the Application or by communicating with you directly.

Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

Subject to the exceptions described below, all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or any aspect of your relationship with Metolius, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court.

Arbitration is mandatory for the claims covered under this arbitration agreement. You agree that Metolius and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury, and that any arbitration will take place on an individual basis. You hereby waive the ability to participate in a class action. The parties agree that the panel will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement.

You and Metolius each retain the right to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of a party's trade secrets or intellectual property rights.

You will also have the right to litigate any other dispute that would otherwise be subject to this arbitration agreement if you opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending an email to info@metoliusaa.com or a letter to 12725 SW Millikan Way, Suite 300 Beaverton, OR 97005within 30 days after the date you first agree to these Terms. If you don't provide Metolius with a timely opt-out notice, this arbitration agreement applies.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (currently available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The panel will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the panel determines that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the panel will determine the location. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Metolius will contribute to your filing and hearing fees as the panel deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The panel's decision will follow these Terms (including the Limitation of Liability provision) and will be final and binding. The panel will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the panel. The award rendered by the panel may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
