In no event shall we be liable for any damages whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, general, special, compensatory, consequential, and/or incidental, arising out of or relating to the conduct of you or anyone else in connection with the Platform, including, without limitation, bodily injury, emotional distress, and any damages resulting in any way from communications, climbing Sessions, or general meetings with Members or persons you may otherwise meet through the Climbfind Platform. As such, you agree to take reasonable precautions and exercise the utmost personal care in all interactions with any individual you come into contact with through the Platform, particularly if you decide to meet such individuals in person and for a climbing Session. You understand and agree that you download or otherwise obtain material or data through the use of our Platform at your own discretion and risk, and that you will be solely responsible for any damages to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of such material or data.
12.2 Limitation of Liability. You agree that in no event shall Climbfind be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if Climbfind has been advised of the possibility of such damages), arising out of or in connection with our Platform or this Agreement or the inability to use our Platform (however arising, including negligence), arising out of or in connection with third parties, or arising out of or in connection with your use of our Platform.
13.Dispute Resolution
13.1Process. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve through negotiation any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the documents it incorporates by reference, your use of our Platform or Content, Your Information, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or your participation in a Session (whether the dispute, claim or controversy is due to or arising out of you attendance at, participation in, or the actions of you or other users at a Session). In the event that the dispute, claim or controversy is not resolved by these negotiations, the matter will be submitted to mediation services, for mediation pursuant to Section 13.3, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to arbitration for a final and binding arbitration pursuant to Section 13.4. Nonetheless, legal action taken by Climbfind to collect any fees and/or recover damages for, or obtain an injunction relating to, our Website operations, intellectual property or our Platform, shall not be submitted to mediation or arbitration, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Climbfind. In addition, Climbfind may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a Court of competent jurisdiction to protect the rights or property of Climbfind pending the completion of arbitration.
13.2Negotiation. Either party may initiate negotiations by providing written notice in letter form to the other party, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The recipient of such notice will respond in writing within fifteen (15) business days with a statement of its position on and recommended solution to the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved by this exchange of correspondence, then representatives of each party with full settlement authority will meet in person or otherwise at a mutually agreeable time and place within thirty (30) business days of the date of the initial notice in order to exchange relevant information and perspectives, and to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation pursuant to Section 13.3.
13.3Mediation. Either party may commence mediation by providing to the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with one another in selecting a mediator from a panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or its employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case.
13.4Arbitration. The parties agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement that are not resolved by their mutual agreement by negotiation or mediation under Sections 13.2 and 13.3, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration. Either party may commence the arbitration process called for in this Agreement by filing a written demand for arbitration with the arbitrator, with a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the arbitrator’s rules and provisions in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration. The parties will cooperate with the arbitrator and with one another in selecting an arbitrator from a panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs.
13.5Enforcement. The provisions of Sections 13.3 and 13.4 may be enforced by any Court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.
13.6Notice; Waiver. By agreeing to this Agreement you have, except as otherwise specified in Section 13.1, decided by negotiation, neutral mediation and/or neutral arbitration as provided in this Section 13, that you are giving up any rights you might possess to have those matters litigated in a court or jury trial. Also, by agreeing to this Agreement you are giving up your judicial rights to discovery and appeal except to the extent that they are specifically provided for under this Agreement. If you refuse to submit to arbitration after agreeing to this provision, you may be compelled to arbitrate under federal or state law.
