  4. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY EVEN IF YOUR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FAIL WITH RESPECT TO THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Article 15. Litigation and Arbitration

  1. Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to an unbiased third party designated by the parties to the controversy, who agree in advance to comply with the ruling, decisions, award or judgment after a hearing at which all parties to the controversy have an opportunity to be heard. YOU AND AM AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH GIVING UP OUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT in connection with any Dispute (defined below), and that our rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY.
  2. You and AM agree that any disputes arising out of, or related to, the Website, the Service, this Agreement and/or any policies or practices of AM (a “Dispute”) will be subject to FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, with the exception of privacy disputes involving Users/Members from the European Union (“E.U.”), Switzerland, or the European Economic Area (“EEA”), which are subject to the dispute resolution process set forth in our Privacy Policy. Notwithstanding the above, AM is always interested in attempting to resolve any Disputes by amicable and informal means, and we encourage You to contact us at support@affluencematch.com before resorting to arbitration.
  3. YOU AND AM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEITHER OF US WILL BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE WITH THE OTHER PARTY. Further, neither You nor AM agrees to class arbitration or any arbitration where a person brings a dispute as a representative of other person(s).
  4. You agree that AM may bring actions on its Members’ behalf, including you, where its rights may be implicated.
  5. If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute by informal means, the arbitration of Disputes will be administered by a third-party arbitrator not affiliated with AM, in accordance with commercial arbitration rules, and if deemed appropriate by the arbitrator, any supplementary procedures for consumer disputes.
  6. Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against AM/Affluence Match (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in the Netherlands. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for such purposes.
  7. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the date in which the incident giving rise to the Dispute occurred. Failure to file an arbitration claim as described above within the applicable limitation period constitutes a waiver of such claim and serves as a complete bar to any claim based on any Dispute, with the exception of privacy disputes brought by E.U. and Swiss Users/Members pursuant to the E.U.-U.S. and U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield Program (see appended Privacy Policy).
  8. This Agreement, and any Dispute between You and AM, excepting E.U.-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. privacy disputes as noted above, shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
  9. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date You first accepted the terms of this Section by emailing support@affluencematch.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include Your full name and clearly indicate Your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, You are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with the choice or law, forum and venue provisions herein.
  10. This section providing for arbitration of claims does not apply to Commercial Use and competitor violations as described above.
  11. Any claim under this Agreement, whether arbitrated or not, are governed by Dutch law and may be brought only in the state or federal courts in the Netherlands.

Otherwise Stated: If You decide You want to sue us for any reason, You will have to bring Your claim in Arbitration, not a court, unless You opt-out of binding arbitration in the required time-frame. There is a time limit of when You can bring Your claim. We are based in the Netherlands and You will be governed by and have to bring Your claim in the Netherlands.

Article 16. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AM, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and subsidiaries from and against any claims, actions, or demands, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising from Your use of the Website, the Service, or Your breach of the terms of this Agreement (including any breach of Your representations and warranties contained herein), any postings or Content You post on the Website or as a result of the Service, and the violation of any law or regulation by You. You, and Your estate in the case of Your death, further agree that this indemnification provision covers all third-party claims, actions or demands, including those filed by Your spouse, children, or family. AM reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You, in which event You will fully cooperate with AM in connection therewith.

Otherwise Stated: You agree to defend us and hold us harmless for Your use of the Website and any breach by You of the agreement terms or any violations of any law or regulation by You. This indemnification covers all claims, actions, or demands made by anyone.

Violation of this Agreement may cause AM irreparable harm, and You therefore agree that AM will be entitled to seek extraordinary relief in court, including but not limited to temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that AM may have for a breach of this Agreement.
  2. This Agreement, accepted upon use of the Website and further affirmed by becoming a Member of the Service, the Privacy Policy appended herewith and also located on the Website, and any applicable payment, renewal, and additional Service terms, comprise the entire agreement between You and AM regarding the use of the Website and/or the Service, superseding any prior agreements between You and AM related to Your use of the Website or Service (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of this Agreement).
  3. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, this Agreement will survive termination of Your registration to the Service.
  4. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
  5. The failure of AM to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
  6. You agree that Your online account is non-transferable and all of Your rights to Your profile or contents within Your account terminate upon Your death.
  7. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and You may not make any representations or bind AM in any manner.

Article 19. Special E.U.-Swiss Terms

If You are a consumer in the E.U. or Switzerland or EEA , we don’t exclude or limit any liability for gross negligence, intent, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence or willful misconduct.

If we cause damage to You and you’re a consumer in the EEA, AM’s liability will be limited to foreseeable damages arising due to a breach of material contractual obligations typical for this type of agreement. AM is not liable for damages that result from a non-material breach of any other applicable duty of care. This limitation of liability won’t apply to any statutory liability that cannot be limited, to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or willful misconduct, or if and to exclude our responsibility for something we have specifically promised to You.
