You understand and agree that you are personally responsible for your behavior in connection with the Service. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us, our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and other partners and employees and any third-party information or content providers to the Service, harmless from any loss, liability, claims, demands, damages and costs (including, but not limited to direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of (i) your use or misuse of the Service by you or any other person using your Membership Account; (ii) any violation or breach of this Agreement; or (iii) any violation of any of the rights of any other third-party.

11. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence; Waiver; Severability.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you, a Member, and us with respect to the Website and the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and us with regard to the Website and Service. To the extent of any conflict or ambiguity between the “Website Terms”, “Service Terms”, or any other terms and conditions as posted on the Website, the order of precedent for Members of the Service shall be: (i) the “Service Terms”, (ii) the “Website Terms”, and (iii) the other terms and conditions as posted on the Website, and each of the aforementioned parts of the Agreement shall govern in such order, but solely to the extent of any conflict or ambiguity. The failure to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement by us shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed to be substituted with a valid, enforceable provision which most closely reflects the original intent of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

12. Comments.

If you have any comments or questions about the Service, please contact us at [email protected] or by telephone at +423 231 4601.

13. Miscellaneous

If any part of the Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.

No failure or delay in enforcing any provision, exercising any option, or requiring performance, shall be construed to be a waiver of that or any other right in connection with the Agreement.

No action arising out of this Agreement or your access to or use of our Website and/or the Service, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose) and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law.

You may not assign, by operation of law or otherwise, any rights or delegate any duties under the Agreement to any third party without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment lacking such consent will be void at its inception. We may assign all or part of its rights and/or delegate all or part of its duties under the Agreement to any party, at any time, and in our sole discretion, upon notice of assignment by posting such notice on our Website.
