any direct, indirect, incidental, common law, statutory,
regulatory, consequential, compensatory, punitive, or special
damages arising out of or in any way connected with your

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE SITE AND ANY CONTENTS, MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. XTEND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against
all losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including attorney
fees, arising out of or relating to use of the Site by you,
any other person accessing the Site using your username and
password, any violation by you of these Terms, or from our
termination of your access to or use of the Site. Such
termination will not affect either party’s rights or
obligations, which accrued before the termination. The
provisions of these Terms apply for the benefit of Xtend and
its officers, directors, employees, and agents. Each of these
individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and
enforce those provisions directly against you on its own
behalf.
13. [Reserved]
14. Alternative Dispute Resolution
Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim between us arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you or we (1) may elect to assert claims in, or transfer claims to, small claims court if your or our claims qualify, and (2) bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, including with respect to temporary restraining orders. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law shall apply to this arbitration agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages). At least 30 days before beginning an arbitration proceeding, you must send an individualized letter personally signed by you, and identifying yourself by name and address, detailing your legal claims, the requested relief and requesting arbitration to Chief Legal Officer, 13865 Sunrise Valley Drive, Herndon, Virginia 20171 by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS or USPS express mail (signature required). We will do the same; except in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail to the last known address. Within 30 days of such notice, either party may respond to the letter with a request for an informal dispute resolution conference between the parties by video, with counsel present if the party is represented, and the parties agree to so conduct such conference personally and individually in good faith before initiating arbitration. All applicable claims or filing limitations period shall be tolled during the pendency of this pre-arbitration notice period. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its applicable rules unless otherwise stated herein. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You and we also agree to delegate the issue of arbitrability to a court of competent jurisdiction, rather than to the arbitrator. If you are a prevailing party, you may seek reimbursement of your fees and costs. However, we may seek our attorney’s fees and costs if the arbitrator finds your claims to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or otherwise not satisfying Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. There will be only one arbitrator, not a panel, unless the parties agree otherwise. You and we also agree that, if more than one dispute arises against a party regarding the same or substantially similar issues filed by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a ninety (90) day period, our respective claim(s) will be arbitrated in a coordinated fashion such that JAMS shall (1) administer the arbitration demands together; (2) appoint one arbitrator for the coordinated demands (unless the parties agree otherwise); and (3) issue one set of filing and administrative fees due per side, one procedural calendar, and one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the provisions of this paragraph, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of this paragraph and process. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by us. This arbitration agreement will survive termination of the agreement.
Enforceability. If this arbitration agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, by either a court or by JAMS (or another chose arbitral forum), then the entire arbitration agreement shall be null and void and either party may elect to proceed with the dispute in court. The parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction in Section 15 (“Miscellaneous”) shall govern the claim.
Jury Trial and Small Claims Court. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, including with respect to temporary restraining orders.
Class Action Waiver. Regardless of arbitrability, we each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings or lawsuits, whether in arbitration or in a court of law, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, or representative action. Therefore, you waive all rights to bring claims on behalf of a class of persons; however, you may still bring an individual claim for public injunctive relief and in small claims court. Nothing in this provision, however, should operate to prevent the parties from settling claims on a class-wide basis or otherwise coordinating claims filed in arbitration.
15. Miscellaneous
You represent and warrant that you possess the legal right and
ability to enter into these Terms and to use the Site in
accordance with these Terms. You represent and warrant that
you shall comply with all laws and regulations that apply to
your access and use of the Site, including any applicable
national laws that prohibit the export or transmission of
technical data or software to certain territories or
jurisdictions. Xtend reserves the right to seek all remedies
available at law and in equity for violations of these Terms,
including the right to remove your account and any contents
generated by you on the Site, to block your access to the
Site, or to block IP addresses. These Terms shall be governed
in all respects by the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, without regard to its provisions relating to
conflict of laws. You and Xtend agree to submit to the
personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and
federal courts located within Fairfax County, Virginia to
resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or
arises in connection with these Terms and the Site (and any
non-contractual disputes and/or claims relating to or arising
in connection with it) and that is not subject to mandatory
arbitration under Section 14 (“Alternative Dispute
Resolution”) above. The failure of Xtend 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. You
agree that regardless of any statute, regulation, or law to
the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or
related to 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.
