Foreign Users. LendSpace makes no representation that materials in this Website are appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you access this Website from outside the United States, please understand that this Website may contain references and/or links to products and services that are not available or are prohibited in your jurisdiction. Any user who is a resident of a foreign country agrees that (i) they have voluntary sought and established contact with LendSpace; (ii) they will not use, transmit, disseminate or upload any material, content, that would violate any applicable local, state or national laws or regulations of the foreign member’s country of resident; (iii) under no circumstance shall LendSpace be deemed liable under any laws other than the United States; (iv) his or her participation is governed by United States law and subject to the arbitration and venue provisions stated herein; and (v) consent to having their data processed in the United States.
Governing Law. This agreement will be construed, enforced and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (but excluding Section 1283.1 of the California Code of Civil Procedure), without regard to any conflict of law principles. The state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over all controversies in connection with this agreement, and you hereby consent to such exclusive and personal jurisdiction and venue. Any claim you may have against LendSpace must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. You agree to waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement and that each party has the right to seek attorneys’ fees in any proceeding.
Binding Arbitration. The parties agree to submit any dispute arising out of or in any way relating to this Site to binding arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Los Angeles, California, rather than a proceeding in a court of law. Any such arbitrator shall be knowledgeable in the subject area in which the dispute arises. All discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) days following the appointment of the arbitrator. Each party shall be entitled to representation by counsel, to appear and present written and oral evidence and argument and to cross-examine witnesses presented by the other party, provided that, where appropriate, the arbitrator may receive testimony via telephone, video or other electronic means of communication. The arbitration aware shall be in writing and the arbitrator shall provide written reasons for the award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce its rights hereunder shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs, including fees of the arbitrator and the AAA, incurred in the action or proceedings. In no event shall the arbiter award punitive or exemplary damages. The parties waive any right they may have to an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision and/or award. Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration, (iii) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to protect the unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary or confidential information; (iv) for any claims of infringement or misappropriation of LendSpace’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secrets; and (v) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. If any AAA rule conflicts with these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall control. By agreeing to arbitration, you agree that the parties are each waiving the right to file a lawsuit and the right to a trial by jury in any action in any way arising out of or related to this agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any party to the arbitration may at any time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notice of Claim. For all disputes you may have, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give LendSpace an opportunity to resolve the dispute by providing written notification to info@LendSpace.com and via postal mail to LendSpace, LLC, 15 Second St. Suite 414, Millennium Park Plaza, Guaynabo, PR 00968 stating (i) your name, (ii) your address, (iii) a written description of your claim, and (iv) a description of the specific relief you seek. If LendSpace does not resolve the dispute within 30 days after it receives your notification, you may pursue your dispute as set forth above.
No Class Actions. To the extent allowed by law, you and LendSpace each agree to waive any right to pursue disputes on a consolidated or class-wide basis; that is, to either join a claim with the claim of any other person or entity, or assert a claim in a representative capacity on behalf of anyone else in any lawsuit, arbitration, or other proceeding. You hereby understand that by agreeing to this class action waiver, you may only bring claims against LendSpace in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, this Agreement as a whole shall not be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, but only that provision of this Agreement that is unlawful, void or unenforceable shall be limited or eliminated from this Agreement. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between you and LendSpace is and shall be that of independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or used to create or imply any relationship of partners, joint venturers, or employer and employee, nor shall either party hold itself out as such. Neither party has any right or authority to incur, assume or create, in writing or otherwise, any warranty, liability or other obligation of any kind, express or implied, in the name of or on behalf of the other party, it being intended by both parties that each shall remain independent contractors responsible for its own actions. You may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or the license granted hereunder or delegate any of your duties specified herein, in whole or in part, without LendSpace’s prior written consent. Any attempt of assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be void, of no effect, and a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LendSpace may assign this Agreement in whole or in part. Moreover, LendSpace may delegate its rights and responsibilities or use contractors or agents to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.
Termination. LendSpace reserves the right at any time and on reasonable grounds, which shall include, without limitation, any reasonable belief of fraud, illegal activity, or actions or omissions that violate any term or condition of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement with you in order to protect its name, business, or goodwill and/or any other user. You acknowledge and agree that LendSpace shall have the sole right to determine in its reasonable discretion whether you are engaging in any unauthorized activity and/or violating any term or conditions of this Agreement.
