21.5.        Warranty: DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY:  THE SITES AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, GOCOLLECT  DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, COMPATIBILITY OR NONINFRINGEMENT; OR THAT THE SITES AND SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, FREE OF VIRUSES AND OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, ACCURATE, ERROR FREE OR RELIABLE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL GOCOLLECT  OR ITS SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE INVESTORS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING LICENSORS) (COLLECTIVELY, THE “GOCOLLECT  PARTIES”), BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SITES AND SERVICES (INCLUDING ANY INFORMATION, SITES AND SERVICES OR SERVICES ADVERTISED IN, OBTAINED ON OR PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITES AND SERVICES), WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF THE GOCOLLECT  PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US RELATED TO THE SITES AND SERVICES OR $50 (WHICHEVER IS LESS).

YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE GOCOLLECT  PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS) AND OTHER LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITES AND SERVICES. GOCOLLECT  RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT OUR OWN EXPENSE, TO EMPLOY SEPARATE COUNSEL AND ASSUME THE EXCLUSIVE DEFENSE AND CONTROL OF ANY MATTER OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION BY YOU.

THESE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS DO NOT AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER OR PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER THE LAW IN YOUR USUAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE.

12.6        Choice of Law: This agreement is governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles.

12.7        Choice of Forum: You agree that any action at law or equity arising out of or related to the Terms and Conditions will be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States of America.  You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating such action.

12.8        Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver: You and GoCollect agree to arbitrate all disputes between you and GoCollect arising under the Terms, except disputes relating to the enforcement of GoCollect’s or its licensors’ intellectual property rights.  “Dispute” includes any dispute, action or other controversy between you and us concerning the Sites and Services or these Terms, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute or regulation or other legal or equitable basis.

In the event of a dispute, you or GoCollect must send to the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute to GoCollect, LLC, _____________________(address), Attention: Legal/Arbitration Notice. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you.  You and GoCollect will attempt to resolve a dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent.  After sixty (60) days, you or we may commence arbitration. 

If you and GoCollect do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final and binding except for a limited right of appeal under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act.  YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.  Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes.  Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online.  The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place and be held in Charlotte, North Carolina.  For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States of America, and you and GoCollect agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located there, in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither you nor GoCollect will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity.  No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration.

12.8        Enforcement: GoCollect reserves the right to take steps that we believe are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce and/or verify compliance with any part of the Terms. You agree that we have the right, without liability to you, to disclose any registration data and/or account information to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or a third party, as we believe is reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce and/or verify compliance with any part of the Terms (including but not limited to our right to cooperate with any legal process relating to your use of the Sites and Services and/or a third-party claim that your use of the Sites and Services is unlawful and/or infringes such third party's rights).

12.9        Entire Agreement: This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and GoCollect with respect to the Sites and Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, terms or conditions, oral or written, between you and GoCollect.

12.10        Severability: If any provision of the Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

12.11        Survival: The provisions of the Terms, which by their nature should survive the termination of the Terms, shall survive such termination.

12.12        Waiver: No waiver of any provision of the Terms by GoCollect shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. GoCollect’s failure to assert any right or provision under the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

12.13        Equitable Remedies: You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms and Conditions to GoCollect are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm GoCollect and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that GoCollect shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you.

You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Sites and Services, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of the Sites and Services or any content or other material used or displayed through the Sites and Services and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages, limited by Section 7 (if any).

12.14        Force Majeure: GoCollect shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of GoCollect, including without limitation any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or cause beyond GoCollect’s control such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
