Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT SHALL GPV OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS OR INFORMATION PROVIDERS HAVE ANY LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR ANY INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THE SERVICES FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, USE, OR DATA, IN EACH CASE ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY, INCLUDING UNDER WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH GPV IS AWARE OF OR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
GPV’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS ($250).
INDEMNIFICATION
You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GPV, its directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, attorneys, independent contractors, providers, subsidiaries, and affiliates, from and against any and all claim, loss, expense or demand of liability, including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred, in connection with your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of or inability to use the Services. GPV reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to your indemnification. You will not, in any event, settle any claim or matter without the written consent of GPV.
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the GPV Entities, you will first contact GPV and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action.
Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of GPV’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration. You and the GPV agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under the Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to the Terms, you and GPV are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and GPV will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, GPV will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to privacy@gpv.com or to GreatPoint Ventures, 744 Montgomery St, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94111, Attention: Operations Director. The notice must be sent to GPV within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, GPV also will not be bound by them.
