Limitations of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will: (a) Ardeco, its affiliates or their respective shareholders, directors, members, partners, officers, employees, agents, representatives, licensors, service providers, successors, assigns, and other personnel (collectively, “Ardeco parties”), be liable to you for any indirect, consequential, special, or incidental damages incurred by you, under any theory of liability and however it may be caused, even if foreseeable, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of goodwill or reputational harm, data loss, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use, or inability to use, the site, any websites linked to it, any materials or other content on the site or such other websites or any services or items obtained through the site or such other websites; and (b) the aggregate liability of the Ardeco parties to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the use of or any inability to use any portion of the site or otherwise under these terms, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to $100. This limitation includes, but is not limited to, any damage or harm caused by inaccuracy of the data or services provided (or your reliance on such data or services), changes to the site, permanent removal of content from the site (including user-provided content), or breaches of these terms by you. The foregoing does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Site, and you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless any Ardeco Party from and against every claim brought by a third party, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (a) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Site; (b) your violation of any portion of these Terms, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms, or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (d) any dispute or issue between you and any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
Dispute resolution
If you have any dispute with Ardeco in relation to these Terms of Use, you must (a) notify Ardeco of the dispute by emailing a description of the dispute to info@ArdecoGlobal.com (the “Dispute Notice”) and (b) cooperate with Ardeco or its authorized representative to resolve the dispute. Within fifteen (15) days of Ardeco receiving your Dispute Notice, you and Ardeco each agree to attempt to resolve the dispute by negotiation.
​
If the dispute is not satisfactorily resolved by negotiation between you and Ardeco after the 15-day period (or, where both you and Ardeco agree to a longer period, that longer period), the dispute will be referred to and resolved by binding arbitration. Such arbitration will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered: (i) by a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) that is mutually agreed upon by you and Ardeco (or if such agreement cannot be reached, an arbitrator appointed by the AAA); (ii) in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in force at the time; and (iii) in Fort Myers, Florida. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. Judgement on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ARDECO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
During resolution of any dispute in accordance with this Section, these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect. Neither you nor Ardeco may commence any court proceedings without first complying with this Section. However, nothing in this Section denies Ardeco the right to seek injunctive relief in a court of law in relation to any dispute arising under these Terms of Use.
If this Section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 13 will govern any action arising out.
