We reserve the right to discontinue the provision of the Services to you for any late payments.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO CONVEYOR FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 17 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

18. Confidentiality

All Confidential Information of the disclosing party shall not be used by the receiving party for any purpose other than as required to perform this Agreement or to exercise any rights granted to it under the terms of this Agreement.

The receiving party agrees to use all reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of and to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, the receiving party shall take at least those precautions that it takes to protect its own confidential information of similar type and sensitivity. The receiving party agrees (a) to hold the other party’s Confidential Information in the strictest confidence; (b) not to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party; provided, however, the receiving party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information (i) to its employees, contractors and professional advisors who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information, and are bound by an obligation of confidentiality no less protective than this Agreement (ii) as required by law in accordance with the following section.
‍

The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information if and only to the extent that such disclosure is required by any request or order of any governmental authority or by applicable law; provided, however, that the receiving party shall notify the disclosing party in writing of such requirement prior to disclosing and provide the disclosing party a reasonable opportunity to: (a) review the disclosure and to interpose its own objection to the disclosure or (b) seek a protective order or other appropriate relief.
‍

The receiving party will promptly return or destroy the Confidential Information, including all copies, documents and other manifestations containing any Confidential Information, to the disclosing party upon request or termination of this Agreement. All Confidential Information and all materials or other items embodying or disclosing any portion of the Confidential Information, including any copies or summaries thereof, shall be and remain the property of the disclosing party, or its customers or suppliers as the case may be.

21. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under this Agreement, then, unless another location is expressly specified in this Agreement, you and Conveyor agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within San Francisco, California for the purpose of litigating any dispute.

‍

22. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Conveyor in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Conveyor agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND CONVEYOR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 21(A), we both agree that nothing in Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Conveyor will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Conveyor.
Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Conveyor's address for Notice is:

Conveyor, Inc.

548 Market St

PMB 74941 

San Francisco, CA 94104-5401 

The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or Conveyor may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Conveyor must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Conveyor will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Conveyor in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, Conveyor will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Conveyor for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the preceding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. YOU AND CONVEYOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Conveyor agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications. If Conveyor makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Conveyor's address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Conveyor's address for Notice, in which case your account with Conveyor will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive.
Enforceability. If Section 21(F) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 20 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
