WE MAKE NO, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY AND/OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM THAT: (A) OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS OR (B) THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVER(S) THAT MAKE THE WEBSITE AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

15. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITIES
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SETH MEDIA OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, FEES, COSTS, OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PRIVACY POLICY, THE PRODUCTS, OR YOUR OR A THIRD PARTY’S USE OR ATTEMPTED USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY PRODUCT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SETH MEDIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, FEES, COSTS, OR CLAIMS.

IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH ABOVE, SETH MEDIA IS FOUND LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY, SETH MEDIA’S LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WILL BE LIMITED TO GBP £500.00. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SETH MEDIA WAS AWARE OF OR ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES OR SUCH CLAIMS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH SETH MEDIA ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF (LEAD OR OTHERWISE) OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES), AND MUST FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THESE CONDITIONS OF USE AS A COURT WOULD.
a. General
Arbitration is a method of resolving a “Claim” without initiating a lawsuit. A “Claim” refers to any dispute between you, Seth Media, or any involved third party relating to your account, your use of the Website, your relationship with Seth Media, these Terms, or the Privacy Policy. This includes any and all claims concerning your use or attempted use of the products, any act or omission by Seth Media or any third party related to your use or attempted use of the products, and any communications from Seth Media or any third party on Seth Media’s behalf. Either you, Seth Media, or any involved third party may pursue a Claim. Seth Media agrees to final and binding confidential arbitration should it have any Claims against you. Similarly, you agree to final and binding confidential arbitration should you have any Claims against Seth Media. By agreeing to arbitrate, you waive the right to go to court and agree instead to submit any Claims to final and binding confidential arbitration. You further agree that all claims must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, that only individual relief is available, and that claims from more than one customer cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer. This arbitration provision outlines the terms and conditions of our agreement to final and binding confidential arbitration and is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended, or for international arbitration, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (“UNCITRAL”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) a representative action for public injunctive relief under California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.), Unfair Competition Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.), and/or False Advertising Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17500 et seq.) must be arbitrated on a class basis, (b) if the above clause is deemed invalid or unenforceable, a representative action for public injunctive relief under California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.), Unfair Competition Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.), and/or False Advertising Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17500 et seq.) may be brought in the state, provincial, or federal courts located in the capital city of the state or province of your residence on a class basis, and (c) any claims other than those for public injunctive relief must be arbitrated on an individual, non-class basis as otherwise set forth in this section.
b. Exceptions
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as an exception to final and binding confidential arbitration, both you and Seth Media retain the right to pursue any claim that falls within the jurisdiction of a small claims court and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis, including overdue account matters within the small claims court’s jurisdiction. Seth Media will not demand arbitration for any individual claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court, provided that the claim remains pending in that court.
The following claims shall not be subject to final and binding arbitration and must be adjudicated only in the state, provincial, or federal courts located in the capital city of the state or province of your residence: (i) an action by Seth Media relating to the infringement or validity of our proprietary rights, including, but not limited to, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets, or patents; or (ii) an action by Seth Media for temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, or other provisional relief, against you for breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. You expressly agree to refrain from bringing or joining any claims excluded from final and binding arbitration under this subsection “b” in any representative or class-wide capacity, including but not limited to, bringing or joining any claims in any class action or class-wide arbitration. Small claims matters may be filed in any small claims court with personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the parties. For all other matters excluded from final and binding arbitration by this subsection “b,” the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state, provincial, and federal courts located in the capital city of the state or province of your residence and forever waive any challenge to said courts’ jurisdiction and venue.
c. Required Pre-Dispute Procedures
Before initiating any Claim against the other party, you and we agree to first contact the other with a written description of the dispute, which shall include all relevant documents and information, as well as the proposed resolution. You may send the written description of any dispute you have with us by certified mail to Seth Media AS, Smestadveien 8D, 0376 Oslo, Norway, Attn: Legal Department. Seth Media will respond to you by letter at the billing address you provided or at the email address you provided. You agree to negotiate with Seth Media or its designated representative in good faith regarding your problem or dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of the written dispute, we agree to the dispute resolution provisions outlined herein.
d. Commencing Arbitration
You and Seth Media agree to commence any arbitration proceeding within one (1) year after the Claim arises (the one-year period includes the required pre-dispute procedures set forth above). Any arbitration proceeding commenced after one (1) year shall be forever barred.
e. Arbitration Location
If the amount in dispute is $500 or less, the arbitration may be conducted by telephone or by written submissions. Otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted by videoconference unless Seth Media agrees to arbitrate in another forum requested by you.
f. Organisation, Rules and the Arbitrator
We each agree that any and all Claims, other than those exempted under subsection “b” above, shall be submitted to final and binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”). Either party may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration to the ICDR and providing a copy to the other party within the time period set forth in subsection “d” above. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, chosen in accordance with the Rules of the ICDR, International Dispute Resolution Procedures, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration. The ICDR’s Rules are available at www.icdr.org. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall also have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether any dispute or Claim is arbitrable. The arbitrator shall further have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether this arbitration agreement can be enforced against a non-signatory to this agreement and whether a non-signatory to this agreement can enforce this provision against you or Seth Media.
g. Fees
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the ICDR’s Rules.
h. Governing Law and Award
The arbitrator shall follow the substantive laws of Norway without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Any award rendered shall include a confidential written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the FAA or UNCITRAL, as applicable. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
i. Enforceability
This provision survives the termination of your account or relationship with Seth Media, as well as bankruptcy, assignment, or transfer. If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable (i.e., unenforceability would permit arbitration to proceed as a class or representative action), then this entire arbitration provision shall be rendered null and void and shall not apply. If a portion of this arbitration provision (other than the class action waiver) is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall remain in full force and effect.
j. Miscellaneous
Failure or delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any particular Claim will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims, provided that all Claims must be brought within the one-year limitation period set forth above. This provision constitutes the entire arbitration agreement between you and Seth Media and may only be modified in writing by Seth Media.
k. Amendments
Seth Media reserves the right to amend this arbitration provision at any time. Your continued use of the Website, purchase of a product on or through the Website, or use or attempted use of a Seth Media product constitutes your consent to such changes.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH BINDING, FINAL, AND CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU PURCHASE, USE, OR ATTEMPT TO USE A PRODUCT PURCHASED ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE (WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST) BY WRITING TO US VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AT SETH MEDIA AS, Smestadveien 8D, 0376 Oslo, Norway, ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. FOR YOUR OPT-OUT TO BE EFFECTIVE, YOU MUST SUBMIT A SIGNED WRITTEN NOTICE IDENTIFYING ANY PRODUCT YOU PURCHASED, USED, OR ATTEMPTED TO USE WITHIN THE 30 DAYS AND THE DATE YOU FIRST PURCHASED, USED, OR ATTEMPTED TO USE THE PRODUCT. IF MORE THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS HAVE PASSED, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO OPT OUT OF THIS PROVISION AND YOU MUST PURSUE YOUR CLAIM THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
17. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seth Media, its parent, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, and affiliates, and their respective partners, officers, directors, agents, representatives, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns, and employees, from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, demands, and costs of any kind, including, but not limited to, reasonable solicitors’ fees, arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with or related to: (1) your breach of these Terms, the documents they incorporate by reference, or the Agreement; (2) your breach of any representations or warranties in this Agreement; or (3) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
