At either party’s request, the arbitrator shall give a written opinion stating the factual basis and legal reasoning for his or her decision. The arbitrator shall have the authority to determine issues eligible for arbitration and to award damages consistent with those permissible herein, but will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in these Terms and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive, exemplary, or any other damages that are specifically excluded under these Terms. The arbitrator may, in their discretion, assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party) against any party to a proceeding. Any party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. The parties, their representatives, and any other participants shall hold the existence, content, and result of arbitration in confidence. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language and take place in Davidson County, TN and each party irrevocably submits to such exclusive jurisdiction and waives any objection based on improper venue or forum non conveniens.

Also, the provisions of this arbitration section are enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction.

CHARGES AND TERMINATION
You agree that You will owe and are responsible for fees set forth in Your applicable Service Agreement and subject to such terms. Company may terminate access to the Site and Services pursuant to your Service Agreement. Company shall not be liable to you or any third party for termination. Should you object to any provision of the Terms or any subsequent modifications thereto, your only recourse is immediately to: (a) terminate use of the Site; and (b) notify Company of termination. Upon termination of access to the Site, your right to use the Site shall immediately cease. Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Site, the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice.

MISCELLANEOUS
Notices to be given or submitted pursuant to these Terms shall be in writing and directed to the address or email on file or otherwise provided to the other party in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (c) if it is delivered by email. The parties acknowledge that they are acting as independent contractors who are solely responsible for their own actions or inactions and that no joint venture, franchise, partnership, agency, or other relationship shall be created or implied by these Terms. If any court of competent jurisdiction adjudges any provision of these Terms to be to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable, but shall not affect any other term or provision of these Terms or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that there may be no adequate remedy at law for any material breach of these Terms, which breach may result in irreparable harm to the Company, and therefore, upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Company is entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against you (and, if applicable, your officers or employees) without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages, in addition to whatever remedies Company might have at law. These Terms constitute the sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Except for our right to make changes to these Terms as expressly stated above, these Terms may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing by non-preprinted agreements clearly understood by both parties to be an amendment and signed by each party hereto. No waiver by the Company of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Company. In addition, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from these shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The English language version of these terms will be the version used when interpreting or construing these terms.
