3.1 Types of Content.

You hereby grant RF-SMART your irrevocable consent to such monitoring. In the event that RF-SMART monitors, pre-screens, refuses or removes any Content, you acknowledge that RF-SMART will do so for RF-SMART’s benefit, not yours.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY. During your access to the Services, we may disclose to you our or a third-party’s confidential and/or proprietary materials and information, including with respect to our or a third party’s software, hardware and services, pricing, contract terms and conditions, and potential transactions (“Confidential Information”). All materials and information disclosed by RF-SMART through the Services that is identified at the time of disclosure as confidential, and all other information that is not identified or marked as confidential but that you reasonably know or should have known was confidential, such as by the nature of its contents or the circumstances of its disclosure, shall be Confidential Information subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You will not, except as required by law or court order, use any Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever or disclose the Confidential Information to anyone. If you are an entity, you may disclose the Confidential Information only to those of your employees who need to know such information and who, prior to such disclosure, are made aware of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and caused to execute, or are already legally bound by, an agreement containing terms and conditions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement. In any event, you shall be responsible for any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any of your employees or any person you disclose Confidential Information. You shall maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence. The obligations in this Section 5 will not apply to any information that you can demonstrate: (1) is in or comes into the public domain without breach of this Agreement by you; (2) was in your possession prior to receipt from RF-SMART and was not acquired under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use; (3) is acquired by you from a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use to RF-SMART; or (4) is independently developed by you without using or referencing any Confidential Information as demonstrated by contemporaneous, written records. You may disclose Confidential Information as required by law or court order; provided that you provide us with prompt written notice thereof and use best efforts to limit disclosure. At any time, upon our request, you will return to us all Confidential Information in your possession, including all copies and extracts thereof.

8. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless RF-SMART, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, representatives, and licensors (collectively, the “RF-SMART Parties”) from and against any losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (1) Your Content; (2) your use of, or inability to use, the Services; (3) your violation or breach of this Agreement; or (4) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. However, RF-SMART reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with RF-SMART in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the RF-SMART Parties for such party’s fraud or willful misconduct. The provisions in this Section will survive any termination of this Agreement and/or your access to the Services.
9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS.
9.1 GENERAL. THIS IS AN AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES AND NOT FOR THE SALE OF GOODS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND WITH ALL FAULTS. THE RF-SMART PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARISING FROM USE OF THE SERVICES. RF-SMART PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR CONDITION THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE; OR THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. ANY CONTENT DOWNLOADED FROM OR OTHERWISE ACCESSED IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND YOU SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY, INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND ANY DEVICE YOU USE TO ACCESS COMPANY WEBSITES OR MOBILE APPLICATIONS, OR ANY OTHER LOSS THAT RESULTS FROM ACCESSING SUCH CONTENT.
9.2 THIRD PARTY CONDUCT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT RF-SMART PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD RF-SMART PARTIES LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES, AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY FROM SUCH THIRD PARTIES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. RF-SMART MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY USER CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE RF-SMART PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, INJURY TO PERSONAL OR BUSINESS REPUTATION, LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF PRODUCTION OR USE, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR LOSS OF DATA OR CONTENT, IN EACH CASE WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THE RF-SMART PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE RF-SMART PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU, IN THE AGGREGATE, FOR AN AMOUNT WHICH IS THE GREATER OF: (1) $100; OR (2) THE REMEDY OR PENALTY IMPOSED BY THE STATUTE OR LAW UNDER WHICH SUCH CLAIM ARISES. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND DAMAGES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN RF-SMART AND YOU. CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
11. TERM AND TERMINATION.
11.1 Term. This Agreement commences on the earlier to occur of (1) the date you first use the Services, or (2) the date when you accept the Services (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.
11.2 Termination of Services by RF-SMART. If you have materially breached any provision of this Agreement, or if RF-SMART is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Services is, or becomes, unlawful), RF-SMART has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you. You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in RF-SMART’s sole discretion and that RF-SMART shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account. RF-SMART shall have the right to terminate, disable, or cease providing the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason whatsoever.
11.3 Termination of Services by You. If you want to terminate the Services provided by RF-SMART, you may do so by (1) notifying us at any time, and (2) closing your Account.
11.4 Effect of Termination. Termination of the Services includes removal of access to, and barring of further use of, the Services, and the deletion of your password and your Account. RF-SMART will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, confidentiality, dispute resolution, and limitation of liability.
12. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement and any action or dispute arising out of or related thereto or to the Services will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Florida, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. The parties agree that this Agreement shall not be governed by the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) should UCITA or any similar legislation be in force or later enacted in any jurisdiction governing this Agreement. To the extent the parties are permitted to initiate litigation in a court, you hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of the State of Florida for any lawsuit filed there against you by RF-SMART arising from or related to this Agreement or the Services.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with RF-SMART and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
13.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, its negotiation, execution, formation, performance, or breach, or to your access or use of the Services, or to any aspect of your relationship with RF-SMART, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you or RF-SMART may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
13.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum. You and RF-SMART hereby stipulate that this Agreement and the Services involve and impact interstate commerce. In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services, such disputes and claims shall be resolved EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN DUVAL COUNTY, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, which arbitration shall be governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16), and judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. All arbitration proceedings shall be maintained in strict confidence.
13.3 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to: (1) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; and (2) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and RF-SMART. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. The parties’ mutual promises contained herein, including to arbitrate certain disagreements, rather than litigate them before courts or other bodies, provide consideration for each other for this entire clause. In any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services, each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.
13.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND RF-SMART HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. YOU AND RF-SMART ARE INSTEAD ELECTING THAT ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR REQUESTS FOR RELIEF SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 13.1 (APPLICATION OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT) ABOVE. AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT AND MUST FOLLOW THIS AGREEMENT AS A COURT WOULD. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW.
13.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR USER. IF A DECISION IS ISSUED STATING THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS SECTION’S LIMITATIONS AS TO A GIVEN DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THEN SUCH ASPECT MUST BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND BROUGHT INTO THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN JACKSONVILLE, DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA. ALL OTHER DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR REQUESTS FOR RELIEF SHALL BE ARBITRATED.
13.6 General. Except as provided in Section 13.5 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with RF-SMART.
14. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. The Services may contain links to third-party companies, websites, applications, platforms, integrations and advertisements for third parties (collectively, “Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services are not under the control of, and are not the responsibility of, RF-SMART. We partner with and provide these Third-Party Services only as a convenience and do not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Services. You use Third-Party Services at your own risk. When you leave our Services, this Agreement and our policies no longer govern. You should review applicable terms and policies, including our Privacy Notice and the applicable notices of any Third-Party Services, and make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.
15. COOPERATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. We reserve the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement or duly authorized regulatory authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose any content, data, information, the identity of anyone posting content or using the Services or publishing or otherwise making available any materials that are believed to violate this Agreement. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WAIVE, RELEASE AND HOLD THE RF-SMART PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY OPERATOR DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND/OR FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER RF-SMART OR LAW ENFORCEMENT OR DULY AUTHORIZED REGULATORY AUTHORITIES.
16. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
16.1 Assignment. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations hereunder are personal to you, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be void, and of no force or effect.
16.2 Force Majeure. RF-SMART shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, epidemics/pandemics, government shutdowns or actions, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
16.3 Notice. Where we require that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing us with a valid and current email address, and we will use that email address to send you notices under this Agreement and in connection with the Services. Notice sent to you via email shall be deemed delivered when sent. You are responsible for maintaining and providing us with your current email address for such purposes. When this Agreement requires you to provide RF-SMART with notice, such notice must be delivered to us using a reputable overnight courier with proof of delivery at the following address: Information & Computing Services, Inc., Attention: Legal, 3563 Philips Highway, Suite F-601, Jacksonville, Florida 32207. Such notice shall be deemed given when actually received by RF-SMART. You acknowledge and agree that your delivery of any communications or notices to RF-SMART using any manner other than as expressly set forth in this Section, including via email, shall constitute an informal communication and shall not constitute legal notice under this Agreement for any purposes.
16.4 Waiver and Severability. A party’s waiver of a breach of this Agreement or a party’s failure to exercise any right under this Agreement shall only be effective if in writing. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. However, if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision to any party or circumstance shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be reduced to such scope as is reasonable and enforceable if possible. Otherwise, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement and ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without it invalidating the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement or the application of the provision to the other parties or other circumstances.
16.5 Interpretation. The parties acknowledge and agree that titles and headings for particular paragraphs, sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted solely for reference purposes. As a result, section and paragraph headings, titles or captions should not be used to interpret or construe the terms of this Agreement. Each use of the term “shall” or “will” indicates a compulsory obligation. The parties intend the use of the term “and/or” in an ordered list to make the items in the ordered list both several and inclusive of each other, as the context requires. The use in this Agreement of the words “include” and “including” means “including, without limitation.” Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained in this Agreement, such specific language will not be deemed to limit, modify or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The use in this Agreement of the singular form of a definition or term also will denote the plural forms of such definition or term, and vice-versa, as in each case the context may require. This Agreement has been prepared in the English language only, which governs this Agreement and controls the construction and interpretation of this Agreement. RF-SMART is an independent contractor, and each party agrees that no partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship exists between the parties. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, whether express or intended.
16.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
17. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (DMCA) PROCEDURE
17.1 DMCA Complaints. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under United States Copyright Law. If you believe in good faith that a submission infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send RF-SMART a notice requesting that the submission be removed from the Services, or access to it be blocked. To be effective under the DMCA, any notification of claimed infringement must be in a written communication that includes substantially the following and must include a certification made under penalty of perjury:
• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, as well as information sufficient for RF-SMART to determine the legitimacy of the signature and the identity of the signatory;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site, including citation to the application copyright registrations where available;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit RF-SMART to locate the material, including a timestamp and visible identification of the material in a screenshot or comparable medium, with all metadata intact;
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit RF-SMART to contact the complaining party, including an email address, telephone number, and, if available, physical mail address;
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
