IN NO EVENT WILL SIGNiX, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, THE WEBSITE, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES OR ANY SERVICE OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES, RELIANCE ON ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT AND HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF SIGNiX KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT SUCH DAMAGES MIGHT ARISE, AND EVEN IF DIRECT DAMAGES DO NOT SATISFY A REMEDY.

SIGNiX’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AND WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) $100; OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO SIGNiX FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

7. Your Agreement to Indemnify SIGNiX

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold SIGNiX, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) to third parties arising out of or relating to your use of the Website or Service, including without limitation your use of third-party services, your violation of these Terms, and your use of the Service in a manner that is not expressly authorized in these Terms.

8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue.

Except for any issue concerning the enforceability related to Section 9, below, all matters arising from or relating to our Service, or these Terms (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of such state or any other jurisdiction). For any matter that is not or cannot be arbitrated pursuant to Section 9, below, venue shall be in courts located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. You hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction of such courts, and you hereby waive any defenses of lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction and improper venue related to the validity, enforceability, damages, and injunctions that may result from breach of these Terms.

9. Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with SIGNiX, to the extent allowed by law, and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

9.1 Class Action Waiver. You and SIGNiX agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Service is personal to you and SIGNiX, and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding.

9.2 Arbitration of Disputes; Waiver of Jury Trial. Except for small claims disputes in which you or SIGNiX seek to bring an individual action in small claims court or disputes in which you or SIGNiX seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and SIGNiX waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Service resolved in court.

Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against SIGNiX or relating in any way to the Service, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the claim informally, by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) by email to legal@SIGNiX.com. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and SIGNiX cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth in the first paragraph under this Section 9.2, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator.

Arbitration proceedings will be held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules is available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason. You and SIGNiX agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce, and that the enforceability of this Section 9 will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of whether the matter may be arbitrated. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

The arbitrator, SIGNiX, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments, and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

You and SIGNiX agree that, for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and SIGNiX will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by SIGNiX, we will pay all JAMS fees and costs except that you are responsible for your attorney’s fees. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce these Terms shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.

You and SIGNiX agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Tennessee and the United States sitting in Hamilton County, Tennessee have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

9.3 Limitation on Time to File Claim. Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that neither you nor SIGNiX will have the right to assert the claim.

9.4 Enforceability of Section 9. If any portion of this Section 9 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 9 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 9; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. If any part of this Section 9 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 9 will be enforceable.

10. Reasonable Use Policy

Our Reasonable Use Policy, set forth below, is designed to provide you with guidance regarding acceptable use of the Service.

Certain of our products and services may permit an unlimited or unspecified number of users or digital signatures, notarizations, notary seals, third-party authentications per transaction, or other components of the Service. We expect you to use the Service in a reasonable manner and will determine reasonable usage based on (a) any historical usage volume; (b) average usage of customers of roughly the same size in the same industry; and (c) the service plan and number of licenses for which you have contracted.

We may determine, in our sole discretion, that any abnormal or excessive usage exceeds reasonable usage in violation of this Section 10, in which case we will first contact you to discuss permitted use and service plan options. We reserve the right to invoice you for any continued excessive usage following SIGNiX’s provision of the initial notice describing your excessive usage. All invoices will reflect SIGNiX’s thencurrent fees. You acknowledge and agree to this Reasonable Use Policy and further agree that SIGNiX may take additional action, including but not limited to suspension of your access to and use of the Service, should excessive usage continue without payment.

11. Support

If you have questions about the content of a document or transaction, or are unsure why you are receiving it, you should contact the party who sent it to you. If you have legal questions about a document or transaction, you should consult with an attorney. If you need assistance using the Service or have any questions about these Terms, you may email customersupport@SIGNiX.com or call 877-890-5350.

12. No Waiver

No waiver by SIGNiX of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of SIGNiX to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, the Electronic Communication and Signature Disclosure, and our Privacy Policy, together with any service agreement or other agreement to which you and SIGNiX are parties, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and SIGNiX with respect to the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Service. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense these Terms to anyone else and any attempt to do so is in violation of this Section 14 and will be null and void.

15. Relationship

Nothing in the Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between the you and SIGNiX. Neither party has the authority to bind the other party or to assume or create any obligation on the other party's behalf, nor to represent to a third party that it has such authority.
