You waive all rights under section 1542 and any other federal or state statutes or laws of similar effect.

Governing Law; Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to its conflict of laws doctrine or to the conflict of laws doctrine of your actual state or country of residence.

Each party waives its right to a jury trial in proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement. All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless we agree otherwise, the court will not consolidate more than one person’s claims. Both parties acknowledge that each party is waiving the right to participate in a class action. You will not file a claim arising out of or relating to the Service or this agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.

In the event of a dispute between us arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in the City of Alexandria, VA, upon either party’s written request, by one (1) arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”). In the event of any conflict between the AAA Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

The parties agree that such arbitration shall be administered as follows:

(i) The English language shall be used as the written and spoken language for all matters with all references to arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be made in writing. (ii) The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, save in the event of fraud, manifest mistake or failure by the arbitrator to disclose any conflict of interest. (iii) The decision of the arbitrator may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction and may be executed against the person and assets of the losing party in any jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, such court includes any court that is authorized to make such an order by virtue of any treaty or legislation relating to the reciprocal enforcement of foreign arbitral awards or judgments. (iv) Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party from seeking or obtaining equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, whether before, during or after arbitration proceedings.

Modification and Waiver

We reserve the right to make changes to the Website, our Services, this Agreement and applicable policies and guidelines at any time. A waiver by Clowder of its rights hereunder will not be binding unless contained in a writing signed by an authorized representative of Clowder. Clowder's

non-enforcement or waiver of any provision on one (1) occasion does not constitute a waiver of such provision on any other occasions unless expressly so agreed in writing.

Severability

If any condition of this Agreement is deemed invalid, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that condition will be severed from this Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.
