No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Serious Mlerm, 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 may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
You expressly understand and agree that Serious Mlerm 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 Serious Mlerm 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.
You hereby expressly and irrevocably waive, and agree never to assert any claims against any Third-Party Platform that you may have under any theory of law or equity anywhere in the world, in connection with rights licensed under this Agreement, your possession or use of the Service, or the content of the Service. Any claims arising out of the Service are subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and may be brought only against Serious Mlerm, as described in Sections 16. and 17. below.
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 Serious Mlerm and its affiliates will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Serious Mlerm 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 Serious Mlerm 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.

Serious Mlerm reserves 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. Serious Mlerm reserves the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing Serious Mlerm to disclose the identity of any user believed to be in violation of this Agreement.

Governing Law; Mediation; Jurisdiction
The Agreement, and all future agreements you enter into with Serious Mlerm, 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 Serious Mlerm, or any of its affiliates or agents, in the State of California or elsewhere. Unless a dispute would be governed by the terms of Section 17. below, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the city of San Francisco, California, USA.
For EU users only: In the event of a dispute relating to the interpretation, performance, or validity of this Agreement, an amicable solution can be sought before any legal action. You can file your complaint with Serious Mlerm by sending a message via email to not.the.boulder@gmail.com. In case of failure, you can, within one year of the failed request, have recourse to an Alternative Dispute Resolution procedure by filing an online complaint on the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution website: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage. In the event that out-of-court dispute resolutions fail, the dispute may be brought before the competent courts.
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 SERIOUS MLERM 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 not.the.boulder@gmail.com 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 San Francisco, California, USA, 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 Serious Mlerm 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 SERIOUS MLERM WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
You and Serious Mlerm agree that if any portion 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.
Miscellaneous Terms
Agreement Revisions. This Agreement may only be revised in writing by Serious Mlerm, or by Serious Mlerm’s publication of a new version on the Service.
Force Majeure. Serious Mlerm is not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of Serious Mlerm, including without limitation any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or cause beyond Serious Mlerm’s control such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Serious Mlerm as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Service.
Assignment. Serious Mlerm may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign the Agreement without Serious Mlerm’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment by you will be null and void.

Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any litigation is brought by either party in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation will be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that Serious Mlerm would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we will be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Serious Mlerm with respect to the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Serious Mlerm with respect to the Service.
