17.2 No Waiver. Our failure to enforce at any time any provision of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy does not waive our right to do so later. And, if we do expressly waive any provision of these Terms, our Acceptable Use Policy, that does not mean it is waived for all time in the future. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by you and us to be legally binding.
17.3 Assignment. You will not assign or otherwise transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms will be null and void. R3M3MB3R.com LLC may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without consent. Subject to this Section 17.3, these Terms will be binding on both you and R3M3MB3R.com LLC and each of our successors and assigns.
17.4 Relationship. You and R3M3MB3R.com LLC are independent contractors in the performance of each and every part of these Terms. Nothing in these Terms is intended to create or shall be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship or a partnership, agency, joint venture, or franchise. You and R3M3MB3R.com LLC will be solely responsible for all of our respective employees and agents and our respective labor costs and expenses arising in connection with our respective employees and agents. You and R3M3MB3R.com LLC will also be solely responsible for any and all claims, liabilities or damages or debts of any type that may arise on account of each of our respective activities, or those of each of our respective employees or agents, in the performance of these Terms. Neither you nor R3M3MB3R.com LLC has the authority to commit the other of us in any way and will not attempt to do so or imply that it has the right to do so.
17.5 Unenforceability. Except as described in Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitrate), if any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and, in any event, the rest of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

No oral or written information or advice given by R3M3MB3R.com LLC, its agents or employees will create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of the warranties in these Terms. Any purchase order document or similar document provided by you shall be construed solely as evidence of your internal business processes, and the terms and conditions contained thereon shall be void and have no effect with regard to these Terms between you and R3M3MB3R.com LLC and be non-binding against R3M3MB3R.com LLC even if signed by R3M3MB3R.com LLC after the date you accept these Terms.
17.8 Force Majeure. No failure, delay or default in performance of any obligation of a party shall constitute an event of default or breach of these Terms to the extent that such failure to perform, delay or default arises out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without negligence of such party, including action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority; fire; strike, lockout or other labor dispute; flood, terrorist act; war; riot; theft; earthquake and other natural disaster. The party affected by such cause shall take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of any such cause.
17.9 Government Terms. We provide the Services, including related software and technology, for ultimate federal government end use solely in accordance with these Terms. If you (or any of your End Users) are an agency, department, or other entity of any government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Services, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data, software, and manuals, is restricted by these Terms. All other use is prohibited and no rights other than those provided in these Terms are conferred. The Services were developed fully at private expense.
17.10 Governing Law and Venue. The enforceability and interpretation of Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be determined by the Federal Arbitration Act (including its procedural provisions). Apart from Section 18, these Terms will be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflicts of laws and principles that would cause laws of another jurisdiction to apply. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Except as provided in Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitration), any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall be instituted in either the state or federal courts of Canton, Georgia, and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
18. Agreement to Arbitrate
18.1 We Both Agree to Arbitrate. If a dispute cannot be resolved through our Customer Support Team, you or any of your affiliates on one hand and R3M3MB3R.com LLC and any of R3M3MB3R.com LLC’s affiliates on the other hand, all agree to resolve any dispute relating to these Terms or in relation to the Services by binding arbitration in Canton, Georgia, or in another location in Georgia that we have both agreed to.
This applies to all claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one of the exceptions below in Section
18.2 (Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate). It also applies even after you have stopped using your R3M3MB3R.com LLC account(s) or closed it. If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that, too.
Pursuant to this Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitrate), you understand that you and your affiliates and R3M3MB3R.com LLC and its affiliates are giving up the right to have a judge and/or jury resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.
18.2 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. You and your affiliates on one hand, and R3M3MB3R.com LLC and its affiliates on the other hand, agree that we will go to court to resolve disputes relating to:
- Your, your affiliates’, R3M3MB3R.com LLC’s or R3M3MB3R.com LLC’s affiliates’ intellectual property (e.g., trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents); or
- Your violation of our Acceptable Use Policy or E-mail Policy.
Also, any of us can bring a claim in small claims court either in Canton, Georgia, or the county where you live, or some other place we both agree on, if it qualifies to be brought in that court. In addition, if any of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of us can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). Any of us may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
18.3 Details of Arbitration Procedure. Prior to filing any arbitration, both parties jointly agree to seek to resolve any dispute between us by mediation conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), with all mediator fees and expenses paid equally by the parties. If mediation is not successful, either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding with AAA. You can look at AAA’s rules and procedures on their website http://www.adr.org or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be governed by the then-current version of AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) and will be held with a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules. To the extent any thing described in this Section 18 conflicts with the Rules, the language of this Section 18 applies. Each of us will be entitled to get a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party and to take a reasonable number of depositions. All such discovery will be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. This Section 18 does not alter in any way the statute of limitations that would apply to any claims or counterclaims asserted by either party. The arbitrator’s award will be based on the evidence admitted and the substantive law of the State of Georgia and the United States, as applicable, and will contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award will provide in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for such award. The arbitrator will not be entitled to modify these Terms. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding on the parties. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
18.4 Class Action Waiver. Both you and your affiliates, on one hand, and R3M3MB3R.com LLC and its affiliates on the other hand, agree that any claims or controversies between us must be brought against each other on an individual basis only. That means neither you and your affiliates on one hand nor R3M3MB3R.com LLC and its affiliates on the other hand can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s or entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). And, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other R3M3MB3R.com LLC customers, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers. If a court decides that this Section 18.4 (Class Action Waiver) is not enforceable or valid, then the entire Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be null and void (i.e., go away). But, the rest of the Terms will still apply.
