Each provision below applies to the  maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

THE SERVICES AND ALL INCLUDED CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS  AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR  IMPLIED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE TRACTIQ ENTITIES  SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS  OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY AND  COMPLETENESS, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE, FITNESS FOR A  PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY  WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. THE  TRACTIQ ENTITIES FURTHER DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO YOUR  ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY RELATED CONTENT. YOU  ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR SUCH  CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. 

Limitation of Liability 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE TRACTIQ ENTITIES  BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY ARISING OUT OF  OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, THE SITE, ANY WEBSITES  LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES. WITHOUT  LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU AGREE THAT THE TRACTIQ ENTITIES SPECIFICALLY  WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,  

INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT  NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN, SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS  OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS  OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY  TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF  THE TRACTIQ ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES  OR SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND THE SITE IS  AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

 

TRACTIQ’S TOTAL LIABILITY HEREUNDER FOR DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED  THE AGGREGATE SUM OF THE PAYMENTS MADE TO, OR THAT ARE PAYABLE TO, TRACTIQ FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS. 

Indemnification 

You agree to fully indemnify, defend and hold the TractIQ Entities and their directors,  officers, employees, consultants and other representatives harmless from and against  any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and other expenses or  fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly relate to or arise  out of or from (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) any claim of infringement  or misappropriation of intellectual property or other proprietary rights including, but  not limited, to your use of Third Party Content; (c) your use of the Services including any  investment, purchase, sale or any financial decisions you make or consider based upon  data inferred or directly derived from the Services or otherwise relating to the Services;  and/or (d) your negligent or willful misconduct. 

Dispute Resolution 

If you have a dispute with TractIQ, you agree to promptly contact us at  support@tractiq.com to attempt in good faith to resolve the issue informally first. If we  are not able to resolve the dispute informally, then the below provisions of this section  will govern any legal dispute between us that relates to these Terms or the Services. 

  1. Binding Arbitration. You and TractIQ agree that any dispute, claim or controversy  arising out of or relating to these Terms or relating to the Services (collectively,  the “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party  retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of  competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement,  misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets,  patents, or other intellectual property rights. THIS MEANS THAT YOU AND  TRACTIQ BOTH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring a claim against TractIQ in “small  claims” court, instead of by arbitration, but only if the claim is eligible under the  rules of the small claims court and is brought in an individual, non-class, and  non-representative basis, and only for so long as it remains in the small claims  court and in an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis. 

  1. Class Action Waiver. You and TractIQ agree that any proceedings to resolve  Disputes will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated,  or representative action. This means that you and TractIQ both agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding.  Further, unless you and TractIQ agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any  Disputes may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not  preside over any form of class action proceeding. 
  2. Arbitration Administration and Rules. The arbitration will be administered  in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration  Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the  “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution”  section. (The AAA Rules are available at http://www.adr.org or by calling the AAA  at 1-800-778-7879). 

Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate the arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA  Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to  practice law in the State of Texas and will be selected by the parties from the  AAA’s roster of arbitrators with relevant experience. If the parties are unable to  agree upon an arbitrator within 7 days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration,  then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. 

  1. Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and TractIQ agree otherwise, the site of the arbitration shall be in Austin, Texas. If your claim does not exceed USD$10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of  documents you and TractIQ submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing  and the arbitrator then determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim  exceeds USD$10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA  Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a  reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited  nature of the arbitration. Hearings may be conducted by telephone or video  conference, if requested and agreed to by the parties. 
  2. Arbitrator’s Decision and Governing Law. The arbitrator shall apply Texas law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will render  an award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the  arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award of  damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with the “Disclaimers and  Limitations of Liability” section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or  injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide  relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. 
  3. Fees. Each party’s responsibility to pay the arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will depend on the circumstances of the arbitration and are set forth in the AAA Rules.

Severability; Waiver 

If it turns out that a particular provision of these Terms is not enforceable for any reason  or to any extent, such unenforceability will not affect or render invalid any other terms,  and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law. If  you do not comply with these Terms, and we do not take immediate action, this does  not indicate that we relinquish any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the  future). 

Force Majeure 

We are not liable by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of our obligations  on account of events beyond the reasonable control of a party, which may include  denial-of-service attacks, a failure by a third-party hosting provider or utility provider,  strikes, shortages, riots, fires, acts of God, war, terrorism, and governmental action. 

Entire Agreement 

The then-current Terms, including (a) any related policies and terms referenced in these Terms and (b) any additional terms we provide or agree to with you, are the entire  agreement between you and TractIQ regarding the Services. These Terms may not be  modified without the consent of a duly authorized representative of TractIQ, and will supersede and prevail over any terms or conditions you may include with any purchase  order or other transaction document or communication with us, regardless of whether  TractIQ signs them or fails to object to them. This “Entire Agreement” section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with TractIQ.
