Disclaimer of Warranty

Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. The site is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Inflect expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. Inflect makes no warranty that:

• the Services will meet your requirements;

Limitation of Liability

You understand and agree that Inflect will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or damages for loss of profits including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if Inflect has been advised of the possibility of such damages), whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, resulting from:

• the use or the inability to use the Services;
• your access, use, creation of, or interaction with any Content or Optimized Content;

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration

Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section of the Terms is referred to in these Terms as the "Arbitration Agreement." You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Inflect, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Website or Services, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify.

Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Inflect are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

Opt-Out Procedure. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this section, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must be mailed to us at the Notice Address provided below and must include: (a) your name, (b) your postal address, (c) your email address, and (d) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration.

Termination

You agree that Inflect, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Services and remove and discard any content within the Services, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Inflect believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms.
