  1. Disclaimers and Limitations on Liability

13.1 Disclaimers

GIBI DOES NOT PROMISE THAT THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT, SERVICE OR FEATURE OF THE SITE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE WILL PROVIDE SPECIFIC RESULTS. THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE DELIVERED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE” BASIS. ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. GIBI CANNOT ENSURE THAT ANY FILES OR OTHER DATA YOU DOWNLOAD FROM THE SITE WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR CONTAMINATION OR DESTRUCTIVE FEATURES. GIBI DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. GIBI DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR THE ACTS, OMISSIONS AND CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND/OR ANY GIBI SERVICES. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND ANY LINKED SITES. YOUR SOLE REMEDY AGAINST GIBI FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE, ANY CONTENT OR ANY SERVICE IS TO STOP USING THE SITE, ANY SUCH CONTENT OR ANY SUCH SERVICE. THIS LIMITATION OF RELIEF IS A PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

GIBI DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY LOST ANIMAL WILL BE FOUND.

The above disclaimer applies to any damages, liability or injuries caused by any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction of or unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use, whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence or any other cause of action.

13.2 Limitation of Liability

Except where prohibited by law, in no event will Gibi be liable to you for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental or punitive damages, including lost profits, even if Gibi has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, notwithstanding the other provisions of the Terms of Use, Gibi is found to be liable to you for any damage or loss which arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of the Site, any Content or any Service, Gibi’s liability shall in no event exceed the greater of (1) the total of any subscription or similar fees with respect to any service or feature of or on the Site paid in the six months prior to the date of the initial claim made against Gibi (but not including the purchase price for any Gibi hardware, software products and any support program), or (2) US$100.00. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

13.3 Indemnity

By using the Site, you agree to indemnify and hold Gibi, its officers, directors, shareholders, predecessors, successors in interest, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates, harmless from any demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made against Gibi by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site.

  1. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution Process

You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of the Site, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the United States and by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in San Mateo County, California, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.

Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of this Site, to the goods or services provided by Gibi, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend Gibi is liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (“Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in force at that time. The arbitration shall be venued in the state and federal courts of San Mateo County, California. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules or from a list of arbitrators provided by Gibi. Filing and other non-award costs will be paid for in equal shares by both parties, except that the fee to the arbitrator will be paid by the non-prevailing party. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand. Should any State or Federal law conflict with the above rules for resolving disputes or the AAA rules, such conflicting rules shall be severed from the enforceable rules and the enforceable rules shall survive and control the dispute resolution process. Any gaps left in the process due to severed rules shall be resolved at the discretion of the selected arbitrator.

Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in San Mateo County, California. The arbitrators shall not have the power to award damages in connection with any Dispute in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of an arbitration under this agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.

THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND GIBI WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE. IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL CLASS CLAIMS BE BROUGHT OR ADJUDICATED IN ARBITRATION. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using Gibi’s goods and services you consent to these restrictions.

Should a Dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and Gibi, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in San Mateo county, California. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees.

  1. Miscellaneous

You may not use or export or re-export any Content or any copy or adaptation of such Content, or any product or service offered on the Site, in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including without limitation United States export laws and regulations.

If any of the provisions of the Terms of Use are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies the intent of the Terms of Use, so that the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.

The Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Gibi with regard to your use of the Site, and any and all other written or oral agreements or understandings previously existing between you and Gibi with respect to such use are hereby superseded and cancelled.

Gibi’s failure to insist on or enforce strict performance of the Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver by Gibi of any provision or any right it has to enforce the Terms of Use, nor shall any course of conduct between Gibi and you or any other party be deemed to modify any provision of the Terms of Use.

The Terms of Use shall not be interpreted or construed to confer any rights or remedies on any third parties.

All Notices should be sent to legal@gibitechnologies.com.
