Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL FORTIFIED, ITS SUPPLIERS, or AFFILIATES, OR THEIR respective OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES in the Website, (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF the Website, (IV) ANY TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM the Website, (V) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE, WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE, (VI) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF User’s USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE Website, AND/OR (VII) THE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION PURSUANT TO these Terms, in each case WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT FORTIFIED IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE Applicable JURISDICTION.
IF ANY EXCLUSION, DISCLAIMER OR OTHER PROVISION CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS IS HELD TO BE INVALID FOR ANY REASON BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, AND FORTIFIED, OR ONE OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES BECOMES LIABLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT COULD OTHERWISE BE LIMITED, SUCH LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE WILL NOT EXCEED in the aggregate THE greater of the AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID by User to Fortified (if any) OR One hundred Dollars ($100.00 USD). BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO User. IF User is DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE Website, OR WITH ANY portion OF these TErms, User’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE Website.
IF User is A RESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY, TO THE EXTENT NEW JERSEY LAW PROHIBITS THE LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN these terms, SUCH LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO User.
Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to User’s use of the Website, these Terms, or User’s use of Content made available through or on the Website must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or it shall forever be barred, notwithstanding any statute of limitations or other law to the contrary.

Disputes; Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Tennessee, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Any claim or dispute between User and Fortified that relates to or arises in whole or in part from these Terms shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Tennessee, provided, that User hereby agrees that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or User’s use of the Website or any information, materials or services User obtains from Fortified requires that such claim be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators in Tennessee, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as then in effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. Punitive and consequential damages may not be awarded under these Terms.
BECAUSE THE USE OF THE Website REQUIRES THE ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES EXISTING BETWEEN THE PARTIES, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATORS’ DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE IF SUCH PARTY WENT TO COURT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL, MAY BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
The award of the arbitrators may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereby consents (i) to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Tennessee for any action (a) to compel arbitration, (b) to enforce any award of the arbitrators, (c) at any time prior to the qualification and appointment of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim or provisional equitable remedies, or (d) to enforce Fortified’s intellectual property rights under these Terms, and (ii) for service of process in any such action by registered mail or any other means provided by law. Should this Section be deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, it shall be severed and the parties agree that sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in the state or federal courts in Tennessee.
Miscellaneous
Fortified may assign its rights and duties under these Terms without notice to User. User may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of Fortified, and any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Fortified’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms, as revised from time to time by Fortified, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter in these Terms and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, as to such subject matter. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to Fortified.
