LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF CULTURAL DISTRICT OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OWNERS AND AGENTS ARE OR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR MATERIALS OR FUNCTIONS ON THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU OF CULTURAL DISTRICT AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OWNERS OR AGENTS FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE), EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO CULTURAL DISTRICT, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING THE SITE. Any cause of action arising from or in connection with this Agreement shall be asserted within one (1) year of the date upon which such cause of action accrued, or the date upon which the complaining party should have reasonably discovered the existence of such cause of action, whichever is later.

You acknowledge and agree that the above limitations of liability, together with the other provisions in this Agreement that limit liability, are essential terms and that Cultural District would not be willing to grant you the rights set forth in this Agreement but for your agreement to the above limitations of liability.

YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH ABOVE WILL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
 

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cultural District and its information providers, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors, and licensees, and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and other representatives (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims and expenses (including attorneys' reasonable fees) incurred by the Indemnified Parties and arising directly or indirectly out of or from (a) your breach of any provision of this Agreement; (b) any allegation that any User Generated Content or other materials you submit to us or transmit to the Site infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party; and/or (c) your activities in connection with the Site. You agree to use your best efforts to cooperate with us in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you.
 

APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTES

This Agreement and the resolution of any dispute that is related to this Agreement, your use of the Site or the products or services you purchase through the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is subject to applicable copyright and intellectual property laws, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

Any such dispute will be solely and finally settled in Pennsylvania by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (collectively, "AAA Rules"). A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties. The non-prevailing party in the arbitration shall pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s) and the costs of arbitration and the enforcement of any award rendered therein, including the attorneys' fees and expenses of the prevailing party. The arbitrator’s award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. However, to the extent that, in the view of the Cultural District you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate the Cultural District’s intellectual property rights, the Cultural District, or as applicable, a Member Organization, may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of Pennsylvania, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

The arbitrator will not, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must be with written explanation and remain confidential.

If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration be permitted). For purposes of this section, this Agreement and related transactions are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).
