WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, (1) THAT THE PLATFORM OR ANY EMAIL WE SEND YOU IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS THAT MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY BECAUSE OF YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF OR BROWSING ON THE PLATFORM OR YOUR DOWNLOADING OF ANY MATERIALS, DATA, TEXT, IMAGES, VIDEO OR AUDIO FROM THE PLATFORM; OR (2) THAT THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, FUNCTIONS OR MATERIALS CONTAINED THEREIN WILL BE TIMELY, SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UP-TO-DATE OR UNINTERRUPTED.

20. Limitation of Liability
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WILL PHENOMETRIX (OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THE PLATFORM) BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS, USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, PLATFORM CONTENT, USER CONTENT OR ANY LINKED SITES, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS OR LINE OR SYSTEM FAILURE. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF PHENOMETRIX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. IN NO EVENT WILL PHENOMETRIX’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY (OR THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE PLATFORM, THE WEBSITE, THE APPS, OR THE PLATFORM (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY A CLIENT FOR PHENOMETRIX’S SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING ANY CLAIM.

21. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by, and must be construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States and the State of Texas applicable, without resort to any conflict of laws provisions. By using the Platform, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other countries or territories.
22. Dispute Resolution; Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
With respect to any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Platform or these Terms (including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy, the Informed Consent or the enforceability of this dispute resolution provision), Phenometrix and you agree to first negotiate in good faith and undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another in order to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution. If you and Phenometrix do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation within 60 days, then any unresolved controversy or claim will be resolved by either of the parties, by notice to the other, initiating binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) at www.adr.org to take place in Collin County, Texas or via remote attendance, if available. The arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator in Collin County, Texas or such other venue agreed to by the parties, including a remote arbitration, if available. The expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration determines that the expenses will be otherwise assessed, and the prevailing party may be awarded its attorneys’ fees and expenses by the arbitrator. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing information exchange will be limited to the reasonable production of relevant, non-privileged documents, carried out expeditiously. Both you and Phenometrix understand that you are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.
Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis and neither you nor Phenometrix will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under this agreement must be filed within one year in an arbitration proceeding, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary. The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred. If any other provision of this section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed, with the remainder of this section remaining in full force and effect.
You agree that Phenometrix is entitled to obtain preliminary injunctive relief to the extent allowed by law to enforce any of the terms of these Terms pending a final arbitral decision, and you and Phenometrix understand that you are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. Such disputes that are not handled by arbitration shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in the Eastern District of Texas and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
23. Access Outside the United States
If you are visiting the Platform from a location outside of the United States, be advised that your information may be transferred from your location through and to servers located in the United States or elsewhere. The data protection laws in the United States and in other countries may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the Platform or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States and in other countries.

24. Miscellaneous
You agree and understand that these Terms, together with any other applicable click-through agreements you may have entered into regarding our Platform, constitutes the entire agreement between Phenometrix and you regarding your use of the Platform, superseding any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us. In the event any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Phenometrix as a result of these Terms or your access to and use of the Platform. You further agree that these Terms and any other agreements referenced herein may be assigned by us, in our sole discretion, to a third party in the event of a merger or acquisition or otherwise. Our failure to enforce any provisions of these Terms or respond to a violation by any party does not waive our right to subsequently enforce any terms or conditions of the Terms or respond to any violations. Nothing contained in these Terms is in derogation of our right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Platform or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use.
