IF YOUR USE OF THE SITE, SERVICES, WEBHOSTINGM CONTENT OR USER CONTENT RESULTS IN THE NEED FOR SERVICING OR REPLACING EQUIPMENT OR DATA, WEBHOSTINGM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE COSTS.

You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless WebHostingM and its directors, officers, staff, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and WebHostingM affiliates (and its directors, officers, staff, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns) (collectively, the “WebHostingM Parties") against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the WebHostingM Parties or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments (“Claims") related directly or indirectly to or arising out of:
13.1 In the interest of resolving disputes between you and WebHostingM in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and WebHostingM agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WEBHOSTINGM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
13.2 Despite the provisions of Section 15.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to:
13.3 Any arbitration between you and WebHostingM will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting WebHostingM.
13.4 A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice"). WebHostingM's address for Notice is:
WebHostingM c/o TECPRESSO (US) Inc, 1007 N Orange St, Fl 4, Wilmington DE 19801
WebHostingM, c/o AegisHawk LLC, 8735 Dunwoody Place Suite 5556 Atlanta, GA 30350
The Notice must:
The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or WebHostingM may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or WebHostingM must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, WebHostingM will pay you the highest of the following: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; or (b) the last written settlement amount offered by WebHostingM in settlement of the dispute before the arbitrator's award; (c) $USD300
13.5 If you commence arbitration under these Terms, WebHostingM will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $100, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the State of Delaware, but if the claim is for $100 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address.
If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse WebHostingM for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.
Regardless of how the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
13.6 YOU AND WEBHOSTINGM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Further, unless both you and WebHostingM agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
13.7 If WebHostingM makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to WebHostingM's address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to WebHostingM's address for Notice, in which case your account with WebHostingM will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately before the changes you rejected will survive.
13.8 If Section 15.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 13 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
The titles and headings of this Agreement are for convenience and ease of reference only and shall not be utilized in any way to construe or interpret the agreement of the parties as otherwise set forth herein. Each covenant and agreement in this Agreement shall be construed for all purposes to be a separate and independent covenant or agreement.
If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision (or portion of a provision) of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions (or portions of provisions) of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be found to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
In the event there is a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Universal Terms of Service Agreement regarding your participation in WebHostingM Reseller Program, the provisions of Universal Terms of Service Agreement shall control.
