You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and our licensees and third-party services providers and our and their respective officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, partners, affiliates, service providers, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of this Agreement, including but not limited to Member Contributions, any use of the Services other than as expressly authorized in this Agreement or your use of any information obtained from the Services.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to this Agreement and any dispute or claim arising from the Website and this Agreement (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, this Agreement or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware, in each case located in the City and County of Wilmington, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of this Agreement in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

19. Mediation/Arbitration

Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be decided by mediation or binding arbitration. Such mediation or arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation or Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of this Agreement, with Arlington, Virginia, as the designated locale. A demand for mediation shall be filed in writing with the other party and with the American Arbitration Association, and shall be made within a reasonable time after the dispute first arises, and in no event after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such Disputes would be barred by the applicable statute of repose or limitations. If a dispute is not resolved through mediation, then a dispute shall be resolved through arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is held invalid or for any reason, unenforceable including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations, then such provision shall be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that matches, as closely as possible, the original provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

20. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by us of any term or condition set out in this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by us to assert a right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
