If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
You agree to indemnify and hold BCC Research and its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from any charges, complaints, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expert fees) due to, arising out of or relating in any way to (1) any Content, (2) any violation by you of the Terms or any applicable rule, regulation or law, and (3) your access or use of the Services and/or the Content.
Your access to and use of the Services and Content shall comply with all applicable export laws of the United States, including, without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and the prohibitions and restrictions mandated by agencies of the United States government. Without limiting the foregoing, the Services and Content may not be exported or re-exported into (or to a resident or national of): (a) any country sanctioned by the United States government identified on the list published by the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, as such list may be updated from time to time; (b) any country, entity or person identified on any of the sanction lists, specifically designated nationals lists, denied party lists or entity lists published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of Treasury, as such lists may be updated from time to time; (c) any other country subject to United States embargo or UN Sanctions; or (d) or any other prohibited country, person, end-user or entity specified by the United States government. You will not use any Content for any purpose prohibited by these laws including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons proliferation, or the development of missile technology.
BCC Research will not be responsible for a breach of the Terms caused by any failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; an act of God; a pandemic; an electrical, internet, cellular network or telecommunication outage that is not caused by BCC Research; government restrictions (including the denial or cancelation of any export, import or other license); or another event outside the reasonable control of BCC Research.
If any provision of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be deemed ineffective in such jurisdiction but shall have no effect on the enforceability of the remaining provisions.
The Terms and your use of the Content and Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to conflict of laws principles or other provisions which might result in the application of laws other than the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will not apply to the Terms.
You further agree that any claims or causes of action arising out of or related to the Terms, the Content or the Services, along with the Information contained therein, shall be submitted to arbitration as provided below within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or such claim or cause of action shall be forever barred.
The courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (state and federal) will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes or actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties hereby waive all claims of immunity from such jurisdiction. Venue for any action brought arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be in the State Court in Suffolk County, Massachusetts or in the United States District Court for the District of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
For the purposes of the Terms: (a) the term "Dispute" will mean any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to: (i) the Terms, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, applicability or validity of the Terms; or (ii) any other dispute arising out of or relating to the relationship between BCC Research and you; (b) the term "Company Group" will mean BCC Research, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, beneficiaries, assignees, successors in interest, and any third party which provides products or services purchased from or distributed by BCC Research; and (c) the term "User Group" will mean you and those in privity with you, such as your affiliates, employees, partners, contractors, agents, family members and beneficiaries.
No member of Company Group or User Group will submit any Dispute (defined below) to any court of law. Company Group and User Group hereby forfeit their right to file and litigate a lawsuit in a court of law relating to any Dispute. User Group understands that, in the absence of this paragraph, User Group would have had a right to litigate disputes through a court, including the right, if any and subject to the rules of User Group's jurisdiction, to litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action basis, and that User Group has expressly and knowingly waived those rights and agreed to resolve any Disputes through binding arbitration in accordance with the Terms. This arbitration provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq.
Company Group and User Group may each provide the other party with written notice of its intention to initiate arbitration with respect to any Dispute. If Company Group and User Group do not amicably resolve or settle the Dispute in writing within thirty (30) days after such notice, the notifying party will have the right to submit such Dispute to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") for binding resolution. Any such Dispute will be resolved exclusively and finally by the AAA. The AAA's Commercial Rules will govern the arbitration proceeding. Company Group and User Group will agree upon another arbitration forum if AAA ceases all of its operations. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator and will be limited solely to the Dispute between Company Group and User Group. The arbitration, or any portion of it, will not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will not be conducted on a class-wide or class action basis.
Company Group and User Group will confer after service of written notice of arbitration to select a single agreed-upon arbitrator to adjudicate the Dispute. If Company Group and User Group are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the AAA will assign an arbitrator. Any decision or award rendered in such arbitration proceeding will be final and binding on Company Group and User Group, and judgment may be entered thereon only in the State or Federal courts in Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
In the arbitration, the arbitrator will apply the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding its conflict of law principles. The arbitrator will not have the right to award treble damages or punitive damages. The location of the arbitration will be in Boston, Massachusetts, and the arbitration will be conducted in the English language.
