Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AUDIOEYE, ITS AFFILIATES, THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AUDIOEYE PARTIES“) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE PLATFORM, ANY OFFERINGS OR CONTENT, OR ANY OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, FOR (1) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST REVENUES, AND LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, EVEN IF AUDIOEYE AND/OR ANY OF THE AUDIOEYE PARTIES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, (2) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM OR ANY OFFERING OR CONTENT, OR (3) THE COST OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY.

Pricing schedules can be referenced at https://www.audioeye.com/plans-and-pricing.

IN LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING, YOU ARE ADVISED TO MONITOR YOUR USAGE.

AudioEye may also terminate any Order (or portion thereof) if access to an Offering under that Order is discontinued by AudioEye, either in general or through the Platform through which you placed your Order for such Offering. In the alternative, AudioEye may replace such Offering with any similar or comparable Offering then offered by AudioEye at the then-existing rate for such Offering. If AudioEye continues to provide you with access to any discontinued Offering, AudioEye may charge you additional fees associated with the continued provision of such discontinued Offering.

We also reserve the right to suspend or limit your access to the Platform or any Offering(s) for any reason or no reason in our sole discretion. During any such suspension, you may not access or use the Platform or any such Offering(s) or any related Content.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. IT PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH MANDATORY ARBITRATION WITH A FAIR HEARING BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY OR THROUGH A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Arbitration Terms. You agree that any dispute or claim arising out of or in any way relating to these Terms or the Platform or any Offerings (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration as specified in this Section.

Arbitration Procedures. Before commencing arbitration, you must first present any claim or dispute to us in writing to allow us the opportunity to resolve the dispute. If the claim or dispute is not resolved within 60 days, you may request arbitration by serving a completed Commercial Demand for Arbitration Form on us and the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“). You can contact the AAA at 800-778-7879 or www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be conducted by the AAA in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and, when deemed appropriate by the arbitrator, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, except as expressly set forth in these Terms. There shall be one arbitrator who will be a licensed attorney or a former judge and will have at least 10 years of legal experience in the resolution of commercial disputes. The arbitrator shall be chosen by written mutual agreement of the parties. If, after 7 days, you and we are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the state of Arizona, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions. All face-to-face proceedings shall take place in an agreed-upon location in Phoenix, Arizona.

Award. Arbitration is final and binding. In making any award, the arbitrator will be restricted by the “Limitation of Liability” provision in these Terms and will not have jurisdiction to make an award to any party to the arbitration contrary to the “Limitation of Liability” provision. You expressly agree that the rulings of the arbitrator, including any award, shall be binding, non-reviewable and non-appealable.

Confidentiality. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Any party shall have the right to prevent any actual or threatened breach of this confidentiality provision by temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive or declaratory relief.

Costs of Arbitration. The party requesting arbitration must pay the applicable AAA filing fee. Each party shall pay its own expenses of the arbitration, including the expense of its own counsel, witnesses, and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. If any party files a judicial or administrative action asserting a claim that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully stays such action or compels arbitration, the party filing that action must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred in seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Waiver of Jury and Class Action and Other Representative Proceeding

THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THERE SHALL BE NO JURY TRIAL OR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, OR RIGHT TO ANY OTHER PROCEEDING TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY COURT. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE IS PERSONAL TO THEM, AND ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL ONLY BE RESOLVED BY AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. NEITHER PARTY AGREES TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ARBITRATION WHERE A PERSON BRINGS A DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR PERSONS. NEITHER PARTY AGREES THAT A DISPUTE CAN BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OUTSIDE OF ARBITRATION, OR ON BEHALF OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR PERSONS. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A DISPUTE MAY ONLY BE RESOLVED THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND SHALL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, A CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Governing Law and Venue

The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under these Terms, and any dispute of any nature that might arise between you and AudioEye, will be governed by the Laws of the State of Arizona, USA, as such laws apply to contracts between Arizona residents performed entirely within Arizona, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Subject to the Dispute Resolution Section above, each party will bring any action or proceeding arising from or relating to these Terms exclusively in a federal or state court located in Phoenix, Arizona. You irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any such courts in any such action or proceeding brought in such courts by AudioEye.
