16. Arbitration and Governing Law
  • 16.1
    The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, or the Website shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association under the Consumer Arbitration Rules. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that you have the right to bring an individual claim against Intelekit in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction. But whether you choose arbitration or small-claims court, you may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against Intelekit any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.

  • 16.2
    By using the Website or the Service in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and the Company (except for matters that may be taken to small-claims court). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, and the arbitrator shall determine all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

  • 16.3
    Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against Intelekit (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Linn County, Iowa. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.

  • 16.4
    This Agreement, and any dispute between you and the Company, shall be governed by the laws of the state of Iowa without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

17. Indemnity by You

You agree to indemnify and hold Intelekit, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and its and their officers, agents, partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney's fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of or failure to comply with this Agreement (including any breach of your representations and warranties contained herein), any postings or Content you post on the Website or as a result of the Service, and the violation of any law or regulation by you. Intelekit reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Intelekit in connection therewith.

18. Notice

Intelekit may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to this Agreement, using any reasonable means now known or hereafter developed, including by email, regular mail, SMS, MMS, text message or postings on the Website.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of Intelekit to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that your online account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your profile or contents within your account terminate upon your death. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you may not make any representations or bind Intelekit in any manner.

20. Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement

During the Term and thereafter, Intelekit and You may be given access to Confidential Information from the other party in order to perform its obligations under this agreement. Each party shall hold the other's Confidential Information in confidence and, unless required by law, not make the other's Confidential Information available to any third party, or use the other's Confidential Information for any purpose other than the implementation of this agreement. Each party agrees to take no action, written, oral or otherwise which is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to harm or disparage Intelekit or its reputation or which would reasonable be expected to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to Intelekit or "Match the Fire". Intelekit shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent or remove any such disparaging actions, in addition to any other damages and fees at the cost of the offending party.

21. Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable to the other party for its inability or failure to perform, or delay in performing, any obligations under this Agreement caused by a Force Majeure Event. The party affected by the Force Majeure Event will notify the other party once its performance of its obligations under this Agreement is no longer prevented due to the Force Majeure Event.

22. Amendment

This Agreement is subject to change by Intelekit at any time. If you are a non-subscribing Member at the time of any change, the revised terms will be effective upon posting on the Website and your use of the Service after such posting will constitute acceptance by you of the revised Agreement. If you are a subscribing Member at the time of any change, the then-existing Agreement will continue to govern your membership until such time that you renew your subscription as contemplated by Section 10. If you continue your subscription, your renewal will constitute acceptance by you of the revised Agreement.
