INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our suppliers, subsidiaries, parent companies, licensors, and licensees, and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees and agents harmless from all allegations, judgments, awards, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and costs of litigation arising out of or based on (a) Submissions or Content you submit, post to or transmit through the Service, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of the Agreement, and (d) any conduct, activity or action which is unlawful or illegal under any state, federal or common law, or violates the rights of any individual or entity, engaged in, caused by, or facilitated in any way through the use of Service.

DISPUTES, GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Service or any service provided by us, will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify, and further excluding our claims against you arising from rental of equipment to you (as further addressed below). The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement, and shall be used in any arbitration 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 this Agreement as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following address: 21 High Street, Suite 303, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845.

Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

You and we agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and we agree that parties have each waived any right to a jury trial.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

With regard to any equipment which is rented to you or which is rented on your behalf, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, arbitration will not apply to our claims arising from failure to pay any amount due and/or any failure to return equipment when due, clean and in good condition. We may bring such a claim in any court having jurisdiction over you. You will pay all costs of collection, including without limitation, our attorney fees and costs. Please see our Rental terms for additional details and requirements for rented equipment.

To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in New York, New York. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN NEW YORK.

POLICIES FOR CHILDREN
The Service are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. You must be over the age of 13 to use the Service or order any products from us. In the event that we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided personally identifiable information to us, we will delete the child’s information in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Please see the Federal Trade Commission’s website (www.ftc.gov) for more information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230(d), as amended, we hereby notify you that parental control protections are commercially available to assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. More information on the availability of such software can be found through publicly available sources. You may wish to contact your Internet Service Provider for more information.

The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
