To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the SmartPedal Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, debts or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs) arising out of or related to your violation of the Terms of Use.

You agree not to settle any such claim without prior written consent from the legal department of SmartPedal. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

 

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

You and we each agree to attempt to resolve any claim, dispute or controversy between us (including disputes involving any of the SmartPedal Parties) whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use (a “Dispute”) through face-to-face negotiation with persons fully authorized to resolve the Dispute or through mediation utilizing a mutually agreeable mediator, rather than through litigation. If you and we are unable to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation within a reasonable time after written notice from one party to the other that a Dispute exists, the Dispute will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, which can be reviewed at any time at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator mutually acceptable to the parties or, if the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, selected pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration hearing shall take place in Contra Costa County, California. The arbitrator shall base its award on the Terms of Use and will follow the law and judicial precedents of the State of California and federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act) as applicable. The arbitrator shall render its award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which the award is based. Any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitration award. The existence or results of any negotiation, mediation or arbitration will be treated as confidential except to the extent necessary to enforce the ruling. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and we will have the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, although the merits of the underlying Dispute will be resolved in accordance with this Section.

 

20. CLASS-ACTION WAIVER

You and we each agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any Dispute between us (including a Dispute involving any of the SmartPedal Parties), whether in arbitration, in court, or otherwise, will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and that neither you nor we will seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which you or we act or propose to act in a representative capacity. You and we further agree that no arbitration or proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another arbitration or proceeding without the prior written consent of you, SmartPedal, and all parties to any such arbitration or proceeding.

 

21. GOVERNING LAW

The Terms of Use, and any claim, Dispute or controversy relating to the Terms of Use, are governed by the laws of California, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction, and by applicable federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act. Any action or proceeding relating to the Terms of Use must be brought in a federal or state court located in Contra Costa County, California, or the Northern District of California, and you and we irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property or confidential information.

 

22. FOR U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS

Apps are a “commercial item,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (OCT 1995), and more specifically is “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (SEPT 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (JUNE 1995), the Apps are provided to U.S. Government End Users only as a commercial end item and with only those rights as are granted to all other customers pursuant to the terms and conditions herein.

 

23. GENERAL PROVISIONS

The Terms of Use constitute the final, complete, and exclusive agreement between you and SmartPedal regarding the Resources and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and communication, whether written or oral. The right and obligations of the Terms of Use are personal to you. Any attempt by you to assign, transfer or delegate the Terms of Use shall be null and void without the express signed written permission of SmartPedal. If any provision of the Terms of Use is unenforceable, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. All waivers by SmartPedal will be effective only if in a signed writing. Any waiver or failure by SmartPedal to enforce any provision of the Terms of Use on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Any notice to you may be provided by email to the address that you registered with SmartPedal. The section headings in the Terms of Use are included to help make the agreement easier to read and have no binding effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, unless otherwise barred by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your purchase or use of the Resources must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or is forever barred.
