Infoverus Terms and Conditions

These Infoverus Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and Infoverus, LLC. (“Infoverus”, “us”, or “we”). These Terms govern your use of our websites, newsletters, content and any other products and services we provide (our “Services”). 

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A CLASS-ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN SECTION 8, which establish rules for how we will handle any dispute that may arise between us. This limits your ability to bring a claim against Infoverus in front of a judge and jury, and you should read it carefully.

These Terms incorporate our Infoverus Privacy Policy any other terms and conditions which we provide through or in connection with the Services, each of which are incorporated by reference.

8. You must not use robots, spiders, scripts, service, software or any manual or automatic device, tool, or process to create multiple newsletter subscriptions, multiple Event RSVPs, or multiple entries into our contests or sweepstakes, to fraudulently inflate “impressions” on the advertising delivered through our Services, or to otherwise engage in any activity that hinders Infoverus’ ability to provide the Services.

2. THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL INFOVERUS PARTIES TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR YOUR ACCESS AND USE OF OUR SERVICES OR CONTENT OR THESE TERMS, FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF FIFTY US DOLLARS (U.S. $50) OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO INFOVERUS FOR THE SERVICE(S) GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM(S) DURING THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT INCREASE THIS LIMIT. YOU AGREE THAT OUR SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS  WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS.

12. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state Ohio. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
13. Arbitration. THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ESTABLISHES HOW WE WILL RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ANY INFOVERUS PARTY. IT INCLUDES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND LIMITS THE TYPES OF RELIEF YOU CAN SEEK. YOU SHOULD READ IT CAREFULLY.
1. If you and Infoverus have a dispute related to our Services or this Agreement (a “Dispute”) we both agree to try to resolve it through Infoverus’  informal dispute resolution process (“Dispute Resolution Process”) before taking any other legal action permitted by this Agreement.
2. If you have a Dispute with Infoverus, you must initiate the Dispute Resolution Process by sending a notice of Dispute  to info@infoverus.com with your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution. If we have a Dispute with you, we will send a similar notice of Dispute to the email address we have on file for your Subscriber Account. If you do not have a Subscriber Account, we will send it to whatever email or physical address we can locate for you. 
3. You and Infoverus agree to work together in good faith to resolve the Dispute for at least 30 days. If, after 30 days of good faith negotiation, we do not reach a mutually acceptable resolution for the Dispute, then (and only then) may a party proceed with binding, individual arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement herein.
4. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 14, all claims between you and Infoverus not addressed through the Dispute Resolution Process will be resolved through binding, individual arbitration. The only exception is for: (a) claims involving intellectual property rights, (b) claims eligible to be brought in small claims court; or (c) claims related to your material violation of the Use Restrictions in Section 4 (collectively, “Excluded Claims”). 
5. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION MEANS THAT FOR ALL CLAIMS (EXCEPT THE EXCLUDED CLAIMS), YOU AND INFOVERUS ARE GIVING UP ALL RIGHTS TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO A JURY TRIAL. INSTEAD, WE WILL HAVE A HEARING BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.
6. YOU AND INFOVERUS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS (INCLUDING ANY EXCLUDED CLAIMS) AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, A FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR A CLASS ARBITRATION. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular Claim or remedy, and all appeals have been exhausted or the decision is otherwise final, then you and Infoverus agree that the precluded aspect of such a Claim or request for remedy shall be decided by bench trial (meaning a trial in front of a Judge only, without a jury) in the state or federal courts located in Arlington, Virginia only after all other claims and requests for remedy are arbitrated.
7. The parties agree that this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision is subject to, and will be governed and enforced under, the Federal Arbitration Act. All arbitrations must be filed with and administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at https://www.jamsadr.com. The demand must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration and must certify that the party has complied with the Dispute Resolution Process above. Fees will be paid in accordance with Jams rules, unless the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS' filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS. In that case, we will pay them for you. Arbitration demands must be filed within one year of the date the claim arose. Otherwise, the claim is waived. All arbitration will be held in Cleveland, Ohio unless the parties agree to arbitrate remotely.
8. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Infoverus. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have, including the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
9. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases. However, if any law firm or collection of collaborating firms files 25 or more arbitration demands asserting the same or substantially similar facts or claims, and seeking the same or substantially similar relief, within 180 days of the first such arbitration demand (a “Mass Filing”), Infoverus may elect (in its sole discretion) to combine the demands and proceed with arbitration under JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures, and you agree to such.
