Under no circumstances will Anaress LLC be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on information obtained through the content on the sites. It is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice or other content available through the sites.

To the fullest extent permitted under law, Anaress LLC will have no obligation or liability (whether arising in contract, warranty, tort, including negligence, product liability, or otherwise) for any damages or liabilities, including direct, incidental, indirect, special, or consequential (including any loss of data, revenue or profit or damages arising from personal injury/wrongful death) arising with respect to your use of the sites, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
By using the Sites, you and Anaress LLC agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Terms, which includes any question regarding your use of the Sites or the existence, validity, interpretation, breach, or enforcement of these Terms or any part of them, except for disputes that qualify for small claims court or those related to Anaress LLC intellectual property (“Dispute”), both parties shall first attempt in good faith to settle such Dispute promptly by negotiation in accordance with the following procedure:
- Any party may provide written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute.
Both you and Anaress LLC agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim in any other dispute resolution proceedings against the other party.
If any dispute cannot be resolved by the above dispute resolution procedure, you agree that the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for such dispute will be decided by binding arbitration on an individual basis. Arbitration on an individual basis means that you will not have, and you waive, the right for a judge or jury to decide your claims, and that you may not proceed in a class, consolidated, or representative capacity. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to and finally determined by binding arbitration by jams (www.jamsadr.com) in accordance with its rules then in effect, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this provision. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties and the language of the arbitration shall be english. Any arbitral award made will be final and binding upon the parties and judgment on such award may be entered in any court or tribunal having jurisdiction thereof.
Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to and finally determined by binding arbitration by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) in accordance with its rules then in effect, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this provision. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties and the language of the arbitration shall be English. Any arbitral award made will be final and binding upon the parties and judgment on such award may be entered in any court or tribunal having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination will be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable.
