Services is at your own risk, and governed by the applicable Third-Party Terms. You

related to the Service (“Support Services”). We are not required to provide Support

(or any part of the Service) and any Service features, with or without notice at any
time. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any
modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service or its features.

reason, at any time.
16. Disclaimer of Warranties
Your use of the Service is entirely at your own risk.
The Service is provided by CaseUp on an as-is basis. CaseUp expressly disclaims all
warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
CaseUp makes no warranty that: (i) the Service will meet your requirements, (ii) that operation of the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or (iii) the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate or reliable.
No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from CaseUp, or
through the Service creates any warranty regarding the Service not expressly stated in
this Agreement.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties,
the foregoing disclaimer will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We will endeavor to have our Service operate properly. However, as a service that relies
on third-party software, services, networks, and continuous Internet connectivity, we do
not guarantee that our Service will operate in an uninterrupted or error-free manner or
that it will always be available, free from errors, omissions, or malfunctions.
If we receive notice of any failure or malfunction, or we become aware of them by
ourselves, we will attempt to regain the Service’s availability as soon as reasonably
practicable. But such incidents will not be considered a breach of this Agreement.
17. Limitation of Liability
You expressly understand and agree that CaseUp is not liable for any direct, indirect,
incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including damages for loss of
profits, goods, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if CaseUp has been
advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from the use or the inability to
use the Service or any other matter relating to the Service, and without regard to
whether such damages, or claims of damages arise based in contract, tort, or otherwise.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the
liability of CaseUp and its affiliates will be limited to the fullest extent permitted
by law.
18. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold CaseUp and its affiliates, officers, agents, and
employees harmless from any claim, demand, loss, costs, or expense, including attorneys’
fees, made by any person or entity arising out of your violation of this Agreement,
state or federal laws or regulations, or any other person’s rights, including
infringement of any copyright or violation of any proprietary or privacy right. Under no
circumstances, including any negligent act, will CaseUp or its affiliates or agents be
liable for any damages of any kind that result from the use of, or the inability to use,
the Service.
19. Your Personal Information
Certain personal and other information that we collect, process, and share is subject to
our Privacy Policy. As a condition of using the Service, you agree to the terms of the
Privacy Policy, as it may be changed from time to time. Our Privacy Policy, which is
incorporated here by reference, is located at
https://caseup.io/privacy. You agree that
your use of the Service is subject to the Privacy Policy.
20. Disclosures Required by Law
We reserve the right to disclose any information, including personally identifiable
information about you, as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal
process, or governmental request. We reserve the right to fully cooperate with any law
enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the
identity of any user believed to be in violation of this Agreement.
By accepting this Agreement, you waive all rights and agree to hold us harmless from any
claims resulting from any action taken by us during or as a result of its investigations
or from any actions taken as a consequence of investigations by either CaseUp or law
enforcement authorities.
21. Legal Compliance
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or
that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country;
and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
22. Governing Law; Mediation; Jurisdiction
The Agreement, and all future agreements you enter into with us, unless otherwise
indicated on such other agreement, will be governed by the laws of the State of
California. This is the case regardless of whether you reside or transact business with
us, or any of our affiliates or agents, in the State of California or elsewhere. Unless
a dispute would be governed by the terms of Section
23
below, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the city of Los
Angeles, California, United States.
23. Binding Arbitration
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Service (each, a “Claim”)
will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court (except that you may
assert claims in small-claims court if your claims qualify). You agree that each Claim
must be brought individually.
YOU AND CASEUP AGREE THAT: (i) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS ACTION
BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (ii) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (iii) NO ARBITRATION MAY BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement and this
binding arbitration clause.
Arbitration is a process with no judge or jury – an arbitrator will review the arguments
in the dispute and award damages and other relief just like a court would. The
arbitrator must follow this Agreement as a court otherwise would. Court review of the
arbitration award is limited under the Federal Arbitration Act.
To start an arbitration, you must send an email to info@caseup.io describing your Claim
and requesting arbitration, or we may do the same by sending a written notice requesting
arbitration to your address. The proceedings will be conducted through JAMS, using their
Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. You can view these rules at jamsadr.com or
by calling 800-352-5267. The payment of the initial filing fees will be made by the
party filing the Claim, and any other filing and other fees will be apportioned as
directed by the JAMS rules. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California,
United States, unless the Parties agree to video, phone, or Internet connection
appearances.
Except as otherwise set forth below, you may seek any remedies available to you under
federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both
you and CaseUp will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information
that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the
arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given (including any attorneys’
fees and costs awarded), and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the
arbitrator’s decision is based.
Notwithstanding the terms of this Section, either of us may bring a lawsuit in court for
equitable relief, for any misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights, or for
any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of
privacy, or unauthorized use of the Service.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND CASEUP WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
You and CaseUp agree that if any portion of this Section is found illegal or
unenforceable, that portion will be severed, and the remainder of the Section will be
given full force and effect.
24. Security of Data Transmission and Storage
You acknowledge that the security of data transmissions cannot be 100% guaranteed, and
that there is a risk that data, including email, electronic communications, and personal
data, may be accessed by unauthorized third parties when communicated between you and
CaseUp or between you and other parties.
CaseUp and its affiliates and agents are permitted, but not obligated, to review or
retain your communications.
25. Hyperlinks
The Service may contain links to other sites and software applications (the “Linked
Services”). CaseUp does not control the Linked Services, and CaseUp and its affiliates
and agents make no representations whatsoever concerning the content, accuracy,
security, or privacy of those Linked Services. The fact that CaseUp has provided a link
to an external location is not an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship, or
affiliation with respect to such Linked Services, its owners, or its providers. There
are risks in using any information, software, or products found on the Internet, and
CaseUp cautions you to make sure you understand these risks before retrieving, using,
relying upon, or purchasing anything via the Internet. You agree that under no
circumstances will you hold CaseUp or its affiliates or agents liable for any loss or
damage caused by use of or reliance on any content, goods, or services available on
Linked Services.
26. Trademarks and Copyrights
The Service is owned by CaseUp and is protected by United States copyright laws and
international treaty provisions. All Service IP, including but not limited to all
Service content, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and icons are
proprietary to CaseUp, subject to any third-party rights in portions of the Service
licensed from third parties. Nothing contained in the Service should be seen as granting
any license or right to use any trademark displayed in the Service without the written
permission of CaseUp or such third party that may own the trademarks displayed in the
Service. Your use of the trademarks displayed in the Service, or any other content in
the Service, except as provided in this Agreement, is strictly prohibited.
Intellectual property displayed through the Service is either the property of, or used
with permission by, CaseUp. You are prohibited from using or authorizing the use of this
intellectual property unless specifically permitted under the Agreement. Any
unauthorized use of this intellectual property may violate copyright laws, trademark
laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, or other regulations and statutes.

27.7.
U.S. Government Rights.Each of the software components that
constitute the Service is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §
2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software
