1.Contractual Relationship

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access or use, from within the United States and its territories and possessions, of the multi-sided digital marketplace platform (“SPDY Marketplace Platform”) and any related content or services (collectively, the “Services,” as more fully defined below in Section 3) made available in the United States and its territories and possessions by SPDY Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, “SPDY”). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONSTITUTE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND SPDY. In these Terms, the words “including” and “include” mean “including, but not limited to.”

By accessing or using the Services, you confirm your agreement to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. These Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements with you regarding the use of the Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, these Terms do not supersede or otherwise impact the enforceability of any agreements you may have with SPDY or its subsidiaries regarding providing contractor services or receiving contractor services (e.g., the Platform Access Agreement, the Technology Services Agreement and/or any similar agreements). To the extent (but only to the extent) any agreement you may have with SPDY regarding driving, delivering and/or providing transportation and/or delivery services conflicts with these Terms, those agreements (and not these Terms) will prevail.

SPDY may immediately terminate these Terms or any Services with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to the Services or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND SPDY CAN BE BROUGHT, INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (SEE SECTION 2 BELOW). PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BELOW CAREFULLY, AS IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES WITH SPDY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION (AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2 BELOW). BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.

Supplemental terms may apply to certain options or offers available through the Services, such as policies for a particular service event, program, activity, or promotion. Such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in connection with the applicable option or offer. Supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, the Terms for the purposes of the applicable option or offer. Supplemental terms shall prevail over these Terms in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable option or offer.

SPDY may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If SPDY makes changes, it will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through the Services, or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless SPDY says otherwise in its notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of the Services after SPDY provides such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using the Services.

SPDY’s collection and use of personal information in connection with the Services is described in SPDY’s Privacy Notice located at https://SPDY.com/privacy/notice/.

2.Arbitration Agreement

By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against SPDY on an individual basis in arbitration as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against SPDY, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against SPDY by someone else. For the avoidance of doubt, this precludes you from bringing or participating in any kind of any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, representative or other kind of group, multi-plaintiff or joint action against SPDY.

(a) Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and SPDY.

Except as expressly provided below in Section 2(b), you and SPDY agree that any dispute, claim or controversy in any way arising out of or relating to (i) these Terms and prior versions of these Terms, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, scope, waiver, or validity thereof, (ii) your access to or use of the Services at any time, (iii) incidents or accidents resulting in personal injury that you allege occurred in connection with your use of the Services, whether the dispute, claim or controversy occurred or accrued before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, or (iv) your relationship with SPDY, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and SPDY, and not in a court of law. This Agreement survives after your relationship with SPDY ends.
You acknowledge and agree that you and SPDY are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to bring or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any class, purported class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall include any claims brought by or against any third-parties, including but not limited to your spouses, heirs, third-party beneficiaries and assigns, where their underlying claims are in relation to your use of the Services. To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to this agreement brings claims against the Parties; those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

(b)Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; (ii) individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment occurring in connection with your use of the Services; and/or (iii) injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
Such claims may be brought and litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction by you on an individual basis only. On an individual basis means that you cannot bring such claims as a class, coordinated, consolidated, collective, or representative action against SPDY. For the avoidance of doubt, this precludes you from bringing claims as or participating in any kind of any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, representative or other kind of group, multi-plaintiff or joint action against SPDY and no action brought by you may be consolidated or joined in any fashion with any other proceeding. Where your claims are brought and litigated to completion on such an individual basis in a court of competent jurisdiction, SPDY agrees to honor your election.

The parties’ agreement not to require arbitration in these limited instances does not waive the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement as to any other provision (including, but not limited to, the waivers provided for in Section 2(a), which will continue to apply in court as well as in arbitration), or the enforceability of this Agreement as to any other controversy, claim or dispute.

(c)Rules and Governing Law.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are applicable, unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to a dispute, you and SPDY agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties to be bound by the provisions of the FAA for all purposes, including, but not limited to, interpretation, implementation, enforcement, and administration of this Arbitration Agreement, and that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue regarding the interpretation or enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state where you reside when you accept these Terms.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to incidents or accidents resulting in personal injury (including but not limited to sexual assault or harassment claims) that you allege occurred in connection with your use of the Services, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the incident or accident occurred.

(d)Process.

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and SPDY each agree to notify the other party in writing of any dispute and to attempt to negotiate an informal resolution. Notice of the dispute must include the party’s name, preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. Notice to SPDY must be sent to SPDY Technologies, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 251 Valencia Avenue, #14-0216, Coral Gables, FL 33114. Neither party shall initiate arbitration until 30 days after the notice is sent. Engaging in this pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification process is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal resolution process required by this paragraph.

Initiating Arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a party must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration and file the Demand with AAA as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). A party initiating an arbitration against SPDY must send the written Demand for Arbitration to SPDY Technologies, LLC., Attn: Legal Department, 251 Valencia Avenue, #14-0216, Coral Gables, FL 33114, or serve the Demand on SPDY’s registered agent for service of process, c/o SPDY Technologies, LLC. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney licensed to practice law in the state where the arbitration is conducted. The Arbitrator will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator after a good faith meet and confer effort, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

(e)Location and Procedure.

Unless you and SPDY otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and SPDY submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

(f)Arbitrator’s Decision.

The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you may seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent permitted under applicable law. SPDY will not seek, and hereby waives all rights SPDY may have under applicable law to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if SPDY prevails in arbitration.

(g) Fees.

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

(h)Severability and Survival.

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

3.The Marketplace Platform & Services

SPDY operates a multi-sided digital marketplace platform that is offered in a number of forms, including mobile and/or web based applications (“Applications”). Among other things, the SPDY Marketplace Platform enables you to receive: (i) services rendered by SPDY that facilitate your connection to independent third party providers, including Contractor providers (“Third Party Providers”), for the purchase of services or goods, such as air conditioner sale and repairs, electrical sales and repairs, plumbing sales and repair, from those Third Party Providers; and (ii) any related content or services, including payment processing and customer support. The SPDY Marketplace Platform and the SPDY content or services described in this Section are collectively referred to as “the Services”. Unless otherwise agreed by SPDY in a separate written agreement with you, the Services are made available solely for your personal, noncommercial use.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN CONTRACTOR SERVICES FROM THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS THROUGH THE USE OF THE SPDY MARKETPLACE PLATFORM AND SERVICES DOES NOT ESTABLISH SPDY AS A PROVIDER OF CONTRACTOR SERVICES OR AS A TRANSPORTATION. SPDY IS NOT A LICENSED CONTRACTOR IN ANY JURISDICTION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND USE OF THE SPDY MARKETPLACE PLATFORM IS ONLY OPEN TO REGISTERED USERS OF THE SPDY MARKETPLACE PLATFORM AND NOT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, INCLUDING CONTRACTOR PROVIDERS ARE NOT ACTUAL AGENTS, APPARENT AGENTS, OSTENSIBLE AGENTS, OR EMPLOYEES OF SPDY IN ANY WAY.

YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY SAFETY RELATED EFFORT, FEATURE, PROCESS, POLICY, STANDARD OR OTHER EFFORT UNDERTAKEN BY SPDY, IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY (WHETHER REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE REGULATIONS OR NOT), IS NOT AN INDICIA OF AN EMPLOYMENT, ACTUAL AGENCY, APPARENT AGENCY, OR OSTENSIBLE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP WITH AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY DRIVER.

License.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SPDY grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable license to: (i) access and use the Applications on your personal device solely in connection with your use of the Services; and (ii) access and use any content, information and related materials that may be made available through the Services, in each case solely for your personal, noncommercial use.

SPDY will not warn you that you have left the Services or that you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website, destination, or third-party service provider. You use all links in third party websites and advertisements at your own risk as these are not part of the Services and are not controlled by SPDY. You acknowledge that different terms of use and privacy policies may apply to your use of such third-party services and content. SPDY does not endorse such third- party services and content and in no event shall SPDY be responsible or liable for any products or services of such third-party providers.

You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is between you and SPDY and not with the App Store and that SPDY is responsible for the provision of Services as described in this Agreement. However, if you downloaded the Application from the Apple App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple shall have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. This Agreement incorporates by reference Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, for purposes of which, you are “the end-user.” In the event of a conflict in the terms of the Licensed Application End User License Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will control.

Ownership.

The Services and all rights therein are and shall remain SPDY’s property or the property of SPDY’s licensors. Neither these Terms nor your use of the Services convey or grant to you any rights in or related to the Services except for the limited license granted above.

You agree that you will not use SPDY’s trademarks, service marks, or trade dress or any similar names, marks, or trade dress (“SPDY’s Marks”), aside from use incidental to your use of the Services, without express, written permission from SPDY.

4.Access and Use of the Services

User Accounts.

In order to use most aspects of the Services, you must register for and maintain an active personal user Services account (“Account”). You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (if different than 18), to obtain an Account, unless a specific Service permits otherwise. You cannot register for or maintain an Account if you have previously been banned from accessing or using the Services. Account registration requires you to submit to SPDY certain personal information, such as your name, address, mobile phone number and age, as well as at least one valid payment method supported by SPDY. For more information regarding SPDY’s use of your personal information, please see our Privacy Notice currently available at https://privacy.spdy.com/policy/. You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account, including a valid phone number, address and payment method. Your failure to comply with these Terms (including policies and supplemental terms) including, without limitation, your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired payment method on file, may result in your inability to access or use the Services. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account, and you agree to maintain the security and secrecy of your Account username and password at all times.

User Requirements and Conduct.

SPDY may, in SPDY’s sole discretion, permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to SPDY through the Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Content”). Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to SPDY, you grant SPDY a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and SPDY’s business and on third party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant SPDY the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content, nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content, nor SPDY’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

You agree to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by SPDY in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. SPDY may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, and remove User Content, at SPDY’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.

User Feedback.

As SPDY respects your rights to your ideas, please do not submit any confidential ideas, information, or suggestions in any form to SPDY or any of its affiliates. For any ideas, information, or suggestions you do submit, regardless of what your communication regarding your submissions says, you understand that your submissions are voluntary and the following terms shall apply to your submissions: (i) your submissions and their contents will automatically become the property of SPDY, without any compensation to you; (ii) SPDY has no obligation to review your submissions; (iii) SPDY may implement and distribute any portion of your submissions and their contents for any purpose in any way, without any compensation to you; and (iv) SPDY has no obligation to keep your submissions confidential.

Network Access and Devices.

You are responsible for obtaining the data network access necessary to use the Services. Your mobile network’s data and messaging rates and fees may apply if you access or use the Services from your device. You are responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware or devices necessary to access and use the Services and Applications and any updates thereto. SPDY does not guarantee that the Services, or any portion thereof, will function on any particular hardware or devices. In addition, the Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.

5.Payment

You understand that use of the Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive (“Charges”). SPDY will enable your payment of the applicable Charges for services or goods obtained through your use of the Services. Charges will include applicable taxes where required by law. Charges may include other applicable fees, product return fees, and cancellation fees. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand or due to other marketplace factors and that all such charges will be disclosed prior to your acceptance of the services.
All Charges and payments will be enabled by SPDY using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which you will receive a receipt. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that SPDY may use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by SPDY.
As between you and SPDY, SPDY reserves the right to establish or adjust Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time. SPDY will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Certain users may from time to time receive promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. Promotional offers and discounts are subject to change or withdrawal at any time and without notice. You may elect to cancel your request for Services at any time prior to the commencement of such Services, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee on a Third-Party Provider’s behalf.
With respect to Third Party Providers, Charges you incur will be owed directly to Third Party Providers, and SPDY will collect payment of those charges from you, on the Third-Party Provider’s behalf as their limited payment collection agent, and payment of the Charges shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third-Party Provider. In such cases, you retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third-Party Provider for services or goods received by you from such Third-Party Provider at the time you receive such services or goods, and Charges you incur will be owed to the Third-Party Provider. SPDY will consider in good faith any request from a Third-Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service or good. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate a Third-Party Provider, if applicable, for the services or goods obtained in connection with your use of the Services. There also may be certain Charges you incur that will be owed and paid directly to SPDY or its affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, SPDY does not charge a fee for a user to access the SPDY Marketplace Platform, but retains the right to charge users a fee or any other Charge for accessing Services made available through the Marketplace Platform.
If you think a correction should be made to any Charge you incurred, you must let SPDY know in writing within 30 days after the Charge took place or SPDY will have no further responsibility and you waive your right to later dispute the amounts charged.

Disclaimer.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” SPDY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, NOT EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, SPDY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE REGARDING THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR GOODS REQUESTED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

SPDY DOES NOT CONTROL, ENDORSE OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY USER CONTENT OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR LINKED TO BY THE SERVICES. SPDY CANNOT AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Limitation of Liability.

SPDY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RELATED TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE NEGLIGENCE (EITHER ACTIVE, AFFIRMATIVE, SOLE, OR CONCURRENT) OF SPDY, EVEN IF SPDY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
SPDY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LIABILITY OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF: (i) YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; OR (ii) ANY TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER, EVEN IF SPDY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SPDY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND SPDY’S REASONABLE CONTROL. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS PROVIDING CONTRACTING SERVICES REQUESTED THROUGH SOME SPDY SERVICES MAY OFFER PEER-TO-PEER CONTRACTING SERVICES AND MAY NOT BE PROFESSIONALLY LICENSED OR PERMITTED.

THE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION DO NOT PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, SPDY’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THIS PROVISION SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT ON SPDY’S CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION SET FORTH BELOW.

Indemnity.

You agree to indemnify and hold SPDY and its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, losses, liabilities, costs, damages, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), arising out of or in connection with: (i) your use of the Services or services or goods obtained through your use of the Services; (ii) your breach or violation of any of these Terms; (iii) SPDY’s use of your User Content; or (iv) your violation of the rights of any third party, including Third Party Providers.

This Choice of Law provision applies only to the interpretation of these Terms and is not intended to create any other substantive right to non-Florida to assert claims under Florida law or bring claims in Florida courts whether that be by statute, common law, or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to incidents or accidents resulting in personal injury (including but not limited to sexual assault or harassment claims) that you allege occurred in connection with your use of the Services, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts in the State in which the incident or accident occurred, notwithstanding that other courts may have jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter, and except as may be otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement above or in supplemental terms applicable to your region, to the extent permitted by law.
