- FONENTRY expressly disclaims any and all liability and will not be responsible for any damages or loss caused, or alleged to be caused, by the transmission of cardholder data prior to its encryption and receipt by server(s) owned or controlled by FONENTRY. The excluded damages will include, without limitation, damages resulting from fraud, embezzlement, theft, identity theft, or invasion of privacy. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will the FONENTRY parties’ aggregate liability, collectively, for all claims arising out of or related to this agreement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, exceed the commission fees actually paid by you during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the incident, all limitations of liability of any kind (including in this section and elsewhere in this agreement) apply with respect to both parties.
In no event will any FONENTRY parties have any liability for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, however caused, or for any lost profits, loss of use, data or opportunities, cost of data reconstruction, cost or procurement of substitute goods or services, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way connected with the services or third party offerings, including but not limited to the use or inability to use the services, any interruption, inaccuracy, error or omission, even if FONENTRY, its licensors or subcontractors have been previously advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.
The foregoing exclusions or limitations may not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
12. Intellectual Property Policy.
Any information and data submitted to the Services must not violate the intellectual property rights of third parties.
- FONENTRY will investigate and respond to notices of alleged infringement that are properly submitted.
13. Miscellaneous.
English law applies to this Agreement.
- Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of England without regard to conflicts of laws principles. The U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods will not apply. In the unlikely event we end up in a legal dispute, you agree we will first attempt to resolve it through this informal process.
- Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution. If you have any dispute with FONENTRY arising out of or relating to this Agreement, you agree to notify FONENTRY in writing with a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information, and FONENTRY will have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt within which to attempt to resolve the dispute to your reasonable satisfaction. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations over such thirty (30) day period under this informal process, either Party may pursue resolution of the dispute in accordance with the arbitration agreement below. If we can’t resolve a dispute after following the process above, then we must resolve through arbitration and not in court.
- Arbitration Agreement. All disputes arising out of or related to this agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and FONENTRY, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, that are not resolved pursuant to section 13 – Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution above will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court, and FONENTRY and you each hereby agree that any arbitration under this agreement will take place on an individual basis.
- Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any prior agreements between you and FONENTRY with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, between FONENTRY, on the one hand, and you or any Affiliate, on the other hand.
- Waiver and Severability. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement by FONENTRY will be effective unless in writing and signed by FONENTRY. No waiver by either Party of any breach or default hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.
- You may not assign, delegate or transfer this Agreement in whole or in part, without FONENTRY’s prior written consent. FONENTRY may assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of FONENTRY’s rights or obligations under this Agreement without restriction.
This explains how we can send each other notices in connection with this Agreement.
- Any notices provided by FONENTRY under this Agreement may be delivered to you within the Services or to the email address(es) we have on file for your account. You hereby consent to receive notice from FONENTRY through the foregoing means, and such notices will be deemed effective when sent if on a business day, and if not sent on a business day then on the next business day. Except as otherwise specified in the Agreement, any notices to FONENTRY under this Agreement must be delivered via first class registered mail, overnight courier, to the FONENTRY registered office. We are not liable for things that are out of our control like natural disasters.
- Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement (other than for delay in the payment of money due and payable hereunder) for causes beyond that Party’s reasonable control and occurring without that Party’s fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labour problems (other than those involving FONENTRY’s or your employees, respectively), computer attacks (by government/nation entities or otherwise) or malicious acts, such as attacks on or through the Internet, any Internet service provider, telecommunications or hosting facility. Dates by which performance obligations are scheduled to be met will be extended for a period of time equal to the time lost due to any delay so caused.
- Electronic Communications and Signatures. You agree to the use of electronic communication in order to enter into agreements and place orders, and to the electronic delivery of notices, policies and records of transactions initiated or completed through the Services. Furthermore, you hereby waive any rights or requirements under any laws or regulations in any jurisdiction that require an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
- Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement does not, and will not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and FONENTRY.
14. Arbitration Agreement.
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with FONENTRY and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Applicability of arbitration agreement. If a dispute of any kind arises with a FONENTRY Partner or Member, you agree to resolve that dispute with the applicable FONENTRY Partner or Member. For any dispute that you have with FONENTRY, we will make every reasonable effort to resolve any disagreements that you have with us. If those efforts fail, by using the FONENTRY platform, you agree that all disputes arising out of or related to this agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and FONENTRY, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, that are not resolved pursuant to the previous sentence will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that : –
- you or FONENTRY may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify; and
- you or FONENTRY may seek relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
- this arbitration agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this agreement or any prior to this version of this Agreement.
Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply Arbitration Act 1996 consistent with the laws of England and shall have exclusive authority to: –
- determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and
- resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.
- The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and FONENTRY. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
- You and FONENTRY are electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with FONENTRY.
