Representations and Warranties; Disclaimer.

Each Party represents and warrants that these Terms constitute a valid and binding obligation and are enforceable against it in accordance with these Terms. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES STATED IN THESE TERMS, ONE JOULE DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER IMPLIED BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION, AND ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, ONE JOULE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT (I) THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE ONE JOULE'S TECHNOLOGY, OR DELIVERABLES PROVIDED HEREUNDER (COLLECTIVELY, THE "MATERIALS") WILL OPERATE IN COMBINATION WITH ANY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE NOT PROVIDED BY ONE JOULE, (II) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (III) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE MATERIALS WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR (IV) ANY ERRORS IN THE MATERIALS WILL BE CORRECTED. THE MATERIALS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITH ALL DEFECTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR COMMUNICATIONS GIVEN BY ONE JOULE, ITS EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS WILL INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THE ABOVE WARRANTY OR CREATE ANY NEW OR ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES.

Liability.

EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM A PARTY'S FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: IN NO EVENT WILL (I) EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUES, DATA LOSS OR USAGE, OR LOSS OF OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND (II) EITHER PARTY'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR THEORY OF RECOVERY, EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100). To the extent any liability of a party cannot be disclaimed, excluded, or limited as aforesaid under applicable law, such liability shall be disclaimed, excluded, and limited to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

Miscellaneous Provisions.

1. Assignment.

Neither One Joule nor you may assign these Terms, the Agreement or any Subscription, in whole or in part, without written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that One Joule may assign these Terms, the Agreement or any Subscription without Customer's consent to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of One Joule related to the Services, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, operation of law, change in control or otherwise. Any assignment made in conflict with this provision shall be void. These Terms, the Agreement or any Subscription are binding upon and will inure to the benefits of each of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in these Terms is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the Parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or in respect of these Terms.

2. Waiver.

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that right unless expressly acknowledged and agreed to by both Parties in writing. A waiver of rights under these Terms will not be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party that is waiving the rights. Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a Party at law or in equity.

3. Severability.

If any provision of these Terms, or portion thereof, is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith amendments to these Terms to reflect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible. Such invalid provision or portion thereof will be severed from the remaining provisions, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of a Subscription and the provisions of these Terms, the provisions of these Terms shall govern, unless the applicable provision in the Subscription or any order(s) is expressly stated to supersede a conflicting provision in these Terms.

4. Force Majeure.

Neither One Joule nor you shall be in default if the failure to perform or delay in performing any obligation under these Terms (other than payment obligations) is caused by Force Majeure.

5. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

You agree that the Services shall be deemed solely based in New York; and the Services shall be deemed passive ones that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over One Joule, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than New York.

This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 USC §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Albany County, New York for any actions for which One Joule retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in these Terms, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Albany County, New York is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

6. Arbitration.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH RELIEF FROM ONE JOULE MAY BE SOUGHT.

For any dispute with One Joule, you agree to first contact us at info@1-joule.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally and amicably for sixty (60) days. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days informally, the Parties agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in New York County, New York, unless you and One Joule agree otherwise. If you are using the Services for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Services for non-commercial purposes:

i. JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS;

ii. the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney's fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and

iii. you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process.

Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing One Joule from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights.

7. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.

WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICES FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND ONE JOULE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
