7. Disclaimers. The services provided by ICU are provided “AS IS”, without warranty of any kind to Subscriber or any third party, including, but not limited to, any and all implied warranties, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of (a) merchantability, (b) fitness for particular purpose, (c) effort to achieve purpose, (d) quality, (e) accuracy, (f) non-infringement, (g) title, (h) marketability, (i) profitability, (j) suitability, and (k) any type arising from course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade. Subscriber agrees that any efforts by ICU to modify its goods or services will not be deemed a waiver of these limitations, and that any ICU warranties will not be deemed to have failed of their essential purpose. Subscriber further agrees that ICU will not be responsible to Subscriber or any third party for any loss of profits, loss of use, interruption of business, or any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind under this Agreement or otherwise, even if ICU was advised to the possibility of such damages. In no event will ICU’s aggregate liability under this Agreement or ICU’s performance hereunder exceed the amounts paid by Subscriber in the 12-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to such claim. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, and, as such, some portion of the above limitation may not apply to Subscriber. In such jurisdictions, ICU’s liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
8. Choice of Law; Binding Arbitration; Venue.
(a) Subscriber and ICU agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the parties’ performance hereunder will be determined by mandatory binding arbitration. Subscriber agrees that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision and that Subscriber and ICU are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class or multi-party action. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of this Agreement. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Agreement, and as administered by the AAA. Subscriber and ICU agree that this Agreement involves interstate commerce and is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
(b) Subscriber and ICU agree that (i) any claims seeking to enforce, protect, or determine the validity or ownership of any intellectual rights, and (ii) any claims related to allegations of theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of the ICU Website are not subject to mandatory arbitration. Instead, Subscriber and ICU agree that these claims (including but not limited to claims for injunctive or equitable relief) will be exclusively decided by courts of competent jurisdiction in the state courts in the County of St. Louis, Missouri, USA and the federal courts in St. Louis City, Missouri, USA, and that applicable Missouri and/or Federal law will govern, without regard to choice of law principles.
(c) Subscriber and ICU agree that each may bring claims against the other only in Subscriber’s or ICU’s individual capacity, and not as a class member or in any representative capacity or proceeding. Further, no arbitrator may consolidate any other person’s claims with Subscriber’s or ICU’s claims, and no arbitrator may otherwise preside over any form of a multi-party or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable in any way, then this entire section, except for section 9(b), will be null and void. In such case, all claims must be exclusively decided by courts of competent jurisdiction in the state courts in the County of St. Louis, Missouri, USA and the federal courts in St. Louis City, Missouri, USA, and applicable Missouri and/or Federal law will govern, without regard to choice of law principles. In no event may the arbitrator award declaratory or injunctive relief.
(d) Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within one year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission, or default giving rise to the claim; and there will be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitations period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
9. General. This Agreement supersedes any prior subscriber agreement between Subscriber and ICU relating to use of the ICU Website and such matters. If any provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid by any law, rule, order or regulation of any government or by the final determination of any state or federal court, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
10. Knowing Consent and Authority to Consent. The parties knowingly and expressly consent to the foregoing terms and conditions. Each party is authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of its respective party.
