To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Abalta and our officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively, the “Abalta Parties”) from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, expenses or costs (“Claims”) arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of our Services; (b) your Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct while using or in connection with our Services.

This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and Abalta or the other Abalta Parties.
Limitations of Liability
In no event will Abalta or its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates be liable to you or anyone else under any theory of liability- whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise- for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or special damages (including loss of use, loss of profits, loss of data or loss of life) arising out of or related to the Services or for any decision made or action taken by you while using the Services or in reliance on the information or materials provided on or available through the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
The total liability of Abalta and the other Abalta Parties, for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to one-thousand dollars USD ($1,000).
The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of Abalta or the other Abalta 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.
Release
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Abalta and the other Abalta Parties from any and all 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 you and any third party and the acts or omissions of third parties. You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Abalta and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or Abalta seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Abalta seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Abalta waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in San Diego, California in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Abalta agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Abalta and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and Abalta agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this section 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; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct 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. You and Company agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Company will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Company, Company will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Abalta agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in San Diego, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND ABALTA WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THE CLAIM.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this section. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must be delivered in writing to 3655 Nobel Drive, Suite 550, San Diego, CA 92122 and include your full name 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 the governing law and jurisdiction below.
Governing Law; Jurisdiction
These Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California and to submit any dispute, claim or action arising out of or related to your use of the Services or these Terms exclusively in such courts, and hereby waive any objections to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
Assignments
You may not assign or delegate any right or duty under these Terms or related to the Services without the prior written consent of Abalta. Any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be null and. We may assign any right or duty under these Terms or related to the Services without notice to you. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding on and will inure to the benefit of each of our respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
Waiver
No duty or breach of these Terms may be waived by our acts or omissions, except by an instrument in writing expressly waiving the duty or breach and signed by an authorized representative of Abalta. Any waiver (express or implied) by us of any duty or breach will not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent duty or breach.
