User’s indemnity obligations as set forth in this Section 12 will not extend to any claim, suit, or proceeding for which (a) the indemnified party fails to promptly notify the indemnifying party of the claim, (b) the indemnified party fails to promptly give the indemnifying party sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that such indemnifying party may not agree without the indemnified party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) to any settlement that imposes any obligations upon or admits any wrongdoing on the part of the indemnified party, or (c) the indemnified party fails to promptly provide the indemnifying party reasonable cooperation in such defense or settlement.
13.1 No Consequential Damages. NEITHER ASKMOS NOR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, SHALL BE LIABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE), FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT.
13.2 Dollar Cap. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ASKMOS’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE), EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
13.3 Exclusions. NO LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER THROUGH THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, A CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES, OR OTHERWISE APPLIES TO EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY.
13.4 Application. THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF THIS SECTION 13 APPLY EVEN IF THE LIABLE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE, AND EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IF APPLICABLE LAW LIMITS THE APPLICATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13, THE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER SUCH LAW.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW ANY CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND ASKMOS IS RESOLVED.
14.1 Governing Law and Venue. THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. THE PROPER VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE SAME WILL BE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
14.2 Arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator, or panel of arbitrators, instead of a judge or jury. Court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of the agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except those issues relating to: (a) arbitrability, (b) the scope or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate in this Dispute Resolution section, or (c) the interpretation of the paragraph entitled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”, shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought without the posting of a bond), any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of the Agreement shall be finally settled in San Francisco County, California, in English, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction.
14.3 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND ASKMOS AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ASKMOS AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ASKMOS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

15.1 International Users. The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Mos intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. The Services are controlled and offered by Mos from its facilities in the United States of America. Mos makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

15.2 Changes to the Service. Mos continually strives to improve its products and services, and reserves the right to improve or modify the Service and its features in any manner and at any time, including during the Term, at its sole discretion, provided however that such modifications will not materially reduce the functionality of the Service to User.
15.3 Waiver. A party’s failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect its right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
15.4 Interpretation. Use of paragraph headers in the Agreement is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
15.5 Assignment. The Agreement, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Mos’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

Each party will send notices made pursuant to the Agreement in writing by postal delivery or a reputable international courier service, in either case with all postage and delivery fees pre-paid and a delivery confirmation required, to the address provided for such party on an applicable Plan Purchase Agreement, or to such updated address as the party provides by notice in accordance with this Section. Notice will be deemed given when received by the other party, or when delivery is refused. User questions or communications regarding Mos, the Service, or the Agreement can be sent to support@mos.com but will not serve as notice under the Agreement.
15.7 Relationship Between the Parties. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venturer, agent, legal representative, employer, contractor, or employee of the other.
15.8 Force Majeure. To the extent caused by hurricane, earthquake, other natural disaster or act of God, terrorism, war, labor unrest, epidemic, pandemic, general failure of the Internet or of communications systems, or other forces beyond the performing party’s reasonable control (collectively, “Force Majeure”), no delay, failure, or default, other than User’s failure to make payments when due, will constitute a breach of the Agreement. The time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the duration of the Force Majeure event. The performing party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the delays, to notify the other party promptly, and to inform the other party of its plans to resume performance.
15.9 Injunctions. Each party agrees that breach of this Agreement would cause the injured irreparable injury for which monetary relief would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedies available, the injured party will be entitled to injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond or other security. This Section shall not be taken to limit either party’s right to injunctive relief related to breach of a section of the Agreement not listed in this Section.
