10. Disclaimers 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR USE OF OUR SITES, INCLUDING ANY SPECIFIC DRAGOS TECHNOLOGY IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A WRITING BY US, OUR SITES AND ANY CONTENT THEREIN, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, DRAGOS DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SITES OR THE INCLUDED DRAGOS TECHNOLOGY ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT OR ERROR-FREE. WHILE DRAGOS ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR USE OF OUR SITES AND ANY CONTENT THEREIN SAFE, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SITES OR SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SITES. 

11. Limitation of Liability 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) DRAGOS AND THE OTHER DRAGOS PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY—WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE—FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITES, THE UNDERLYING DRAGOS TECHNOLOGY, OR ANY CONTENT OR MATERIALS CONTAINED IN OR ACCESSED THROUGH THE SITES, EVEN IF DRAGOS OR THE OTHER DRAGOS PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (B) THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF DRAGOS AND THE OTHER DRAGOS PARTIES FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $50.00. 

THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR THE FRAUD OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF DRAGOS OR THE OTHER DRAGOS PARTIES OR FOR ANY OTHER MATTERS IN WHICH LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. ADDITIONALLY, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 

12. Release 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Dragos and the other Dragos Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” 

13. Transfer and Processing Data 

In order for us to provide our Sites, you agree that we may process, transfer and store information about you in the United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law. 

14. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration 

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Dragos and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial. 

No Representative Actions. You and Dragos agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Sites is personal to you and Dragos and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. 

Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or Dragos seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Dragos seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Dragos waive the right to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Sites resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against Dragos or relating in any way to the Sites, including disputes or claims relating to privacy and data protection, you agree to first contact Dragos and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Dragos by email at legal@dragos.com or by certified mail addressed to “Dragos, Inc., Attn: Legal Department – Arbitration Notice, 1745 Dorsey Road, Suite R, Hanover, MD 21076.” The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and Dragos cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Anne Arundel County, MD or may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $1,000.00, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason. 

You and Dragos agree that these Terms and your use of the Sites affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 14 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. 

The arbitrator, Dragos, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. 

The parties will share all JAMS fees and costs for any arbitration. You and Dragos agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Maryland and the United States sitting in Anne Arundel County, MD have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. 

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms,the Sites must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Dragos will not have the right to assert the claim. 

You have the right to opt-out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 14 by sending us a letter addressed to “Dragos, Inc., Attn: Legal – Arbitration Opt-Out, 1745 Dorsey Road, Suite R, Hanover, MD 21076.” In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 15. 

If any portion of this Section 14 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 14 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 14; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 14 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 14 will be enforceable. 

15. Governing Law and Venue 

Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Sites will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Delaware, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Maryland and the United States, respectively, sitting in Anne Arundel County, MD. 

16. Modifying and Terminating our Sites 

We reserve the right to modify our Sites or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Sites at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Sites at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Sites. 

17. Severability 

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. 

18. Export Restrictions. 

Any Dragos Technology and all underlying information and technology downloaded or viewed from or through the Sites (collectively the “Software or Technical Data“) by you may be subject to U.S. export controls, including the Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. Appx. §§ 2401 et seq.) and the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR“, 50 C.F.R. Parts 730-774), and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You are responsible for complying with all trade regulations and laws both foreign and domestic. Except as authorized by law, you agree and warrant not to export or re-export the Software or Technical Data to any county, or to any person, entity, or end-user subject to U.S. export controls, including without limitation persons or entities listed on the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Export Administration’s Denied Parties List and the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals. You further represent and warrant that no U.S. federal agency has suspended, revoked, or denied your export privileges. 

19. Forward-Looking Statements 

The Sites may contain express or implied forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations of management. Any such statements are neither promises nor guarantees but are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including scientific, business, economic and financial factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in these forward-looking statements. Dragos assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements and such statements are current only as of the date they are made. 

20. Miscellaneous 

These Terms, along with T&C or any applicable agreement, including those applicable to the relevant Dragos Technology provided by Dragos constitute the entire agreement between you and Dragos relating to your access to and use of our Sites. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, Sections 5-19 survive termination of these terms. The failure of Dragos to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically. These Terms may not be transferred, assigned or delegated by you, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, and any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation without such consent will be void and without effect. We may freely transfer, assign or delegate these Terms or the Sites, in whole or in part, without your prior written consent. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California consumers are entitled to the following specific consumer rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 N.
