14. TECHNICAL MALFUNCTIONS

You will not hold MetaMatch or its partners responsible for: any incorrect, invalid or inaccurate entry information; human errors; technical malfunctions; failures, including public utility or telephone outages; omissions, interruptions, latency, deletions or defects of any telephone system or network, computer online systems, data, computer equipment, servers, providers, or software (including, but not limited to, software and operating systems that do not permit an entrant to participate in the Service), including without limitation any injury or damage to any entrant’s or any other person’s computer equipment relating to or resulting from participation in the Service; inability to access the Site, or any web pages of MetaMatch; theft, tampering, destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries and/or images of any kind; data that is processed late or incorrectly or is incomplete or lost due to telephone, computer or electronic malfunction or traffic congestion on telephone lines or transmission systems, or the Internet, or any Service provider’s facilities, or any Site for any other reason whatsoever; typographical, printing or other errors; or any combination thereof.

MetaMatch and any partners are also not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected or stolen entries.

26. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT:

Any controversy or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in any way relating to the Terms of Service, with the exception of those controversies or claims specifically excluded in the following paragraph, shall be settled by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in connection with its rules. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held within a fifty mile radius of Union City, NJ 07087

You and MetaMatch agree that the following types of disputes are not subject to this binding arbitration provision: (1) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of either any of your intellectual property rights or MetaMatch’s intellectual property rights; and (2) any claim for injunctive relief.

The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1.800.778.7879.

In addition, you and MetaMatch agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND METAMATCH 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. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: 3312 Hudson Ave, Union City, NJ 07087

The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Service. Otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, METAMATCH also will not be bound by them.

METAMATCH will provide 60-days’ notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 60th day, and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 60th day.

27. Forum Selection

For any dispute not subject to arbitration, or where no election to arbitrate has been made, you and MetaMatch agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located within a fifty mile radius of Union City, NJ 07087. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

28. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY AND TERMS

The failure of MetaMatch to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.

29. ASSIGNMENT

The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be assigned by MetaMatch without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms of Service shall be deemed void. In addition, you agree that to the fullest extent permissible by law, no third party shall have any rights to bring claims arising out of this Terms of Service on your behalf or to claim for themselves rights that are afforded to you under this agreement.

30. NO AGENCY

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship of any kind exists between you and MetaMatch. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY SUBMITTING USER CONTENT TO METAMATCH, NO CONFIDENTIAL, FIDUCIARY, CONTRACTUALLY IMPLIED OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED BETWEEN YOU AND METAMATCH.

31. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Site or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
