SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF OR LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATIONS ON THE APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 
  22. Limitations and Exclusions of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will WiseOx or our affiliates, licensors or service providers be liable for the following, regardless of the theory of liability or whether relating to or arising out of these Terms of Service, the Service, your Subscription, or otherwise, even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such damages: (a) you or your End Users’ inability to use the Services; (b) loss or corruption of data or interrupted or loss of business; (c) cost of substitute goods or services; (d) personal injury or property damage; (e) loss of revenue, profits, goodwill or anticipated sales or savings; or (f) indirect, incidental, exemplary, special or consequential damages.

YOU HEREBY WAIVE, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND YOUR END USERS, ANY RIGHT TO COMMENCE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AGAINST WISEOX RELATED TO ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY, AND, WHERE APPLICABLE, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO OPT OUT OF ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AGAINST WISEOX OTHERWISE COMMENCED.
  26. Arbitration Agreement. This section affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for the resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. Any controversy or claim between you and WiseOx arising out of or relating to: (a) these Terms or the breach thereof, (b) your access to or use of the Services, or (c) any alleged violation of any federal or state or local law, statute or ordinance by you (each such controversy or claim, a “Claim”) shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the Arbitration Service of Portland (“ASP”), or its successor. Either party may commence the arbitration process called for in these Terms by filing a written demand for arbitration with ASP, with a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of ASP’s procedural rules in effect at the time of filing the demand for arbitration and will be held exclusively in Deschutes County, Oregon, USA. The parties will cooperate with ASP and with one another in selecting an arbitrator from ASP’s panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally in its costs. This section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered. Each party hereby consents to service of process by certified mail.
  27. Governing Law. These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Oregon without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts located in Deschutes County, Oregon. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. 
  28. Geographic Restrictions. The Services and WiseOx Content are based in the State of Oregon in the United States. You acknowledge that you may not be able to access portions or certain features of the Services and WiseOx Content outside of the United States and that access thereto may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you or your End Users access the Services and WiseOx Content from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws.
  29. Modifications to Terms of Service. WiseOx reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time, effective upon posting.  You can tell when changes have been made to these Terms by referring to the “Effective Date” legend on top of this page.  WiseOx will provide you with advance notice of a major change.  For example, WiseOx may (a) require that you reaccept the updated version of these Terms, (b) send you an electronic notification advising of the update to these Terms, or (c) include a notice on our Services.  WiseOx does not ordinarily provide advance notice of a minor change. You or your End Users’ continued use of the Services after these Terms have been updated (and after advance notice for a major change) indicates your agreement and acceptance of the updated version of these Terms.
  30. Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms of Service is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to accomplish, as nearly as possible, the objective thereof, or severed from the document if and solely to the limited extent such construction is not possible, and the remaining portion of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms of Service, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without WiseOx’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and WiseOx as a result of these Terms or your or your End Users’ use of the Services. WiseOx’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Service will not be deemed a waiver of that or any other provision of these Terms.
