You hereby assign all rights in any Feedback to ViralGains and, as applicable, waive any moral rights.

You also hereby grant to ViralGains worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable right and license to use, copy, publicly perform, and publicly display your trade name, trademark, and/or service mark in order to identify you on our website and in collateral marketing materials as a representative user of our Service.

18. Governing Law/Waiver of Injunctive Relief.

18.1 This Agreement and all aspects of the Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts governing contracts entered into and to be fully performed in Massachusetts (i.e., without regard to conflict of laws provisions) regardless of your location. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state or federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts.

18.2 You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to ViralGains are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which will irreparably harm ViralGains and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that ViralGains will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).

18.3 To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and ViralGains agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send your notice to ViralGains, Inc., One Marina Park Drive, 14th Floor, Boston, MA 02210, ATTENTION: LEGAL DEPARTMENT, with a copy to Jonathan Calla, Esq., Morse, Barnes Brown & Pendleton, P.C., CityPoint, 230 Third Avenue, 4th Floor, Waltham, MA 02451.

18.4 If you and ViralGains are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations within 30 days, either you or ViralGains may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) of JAMS, which is available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, ViralGains will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and ViralGains may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

18.5 You and ViralGains agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between ViralGains and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration will be joined with any other; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

18.6 You and ViralGains agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or ViralGains’ intellectual property rights; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.

19. Waiver/Severability.

19.1 The failure of ViralGains to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under them will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of ViralGains’ right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.

19.2 You and ViralGains agree that if any portion of this Agreement, except any portion of Section 18.6, is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which will continue to be in full force and effect. If Section 18.6 is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor ViralGains will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 18.6 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Boston, Massachusetts, and you and ViralGains agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

20. Miscellaneous

ViralGains operates and controls the Service from its offices in the United States. ViralGains makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available in other locations. The information provided on the Service is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject ViralGains to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Service from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify this Agreement. You may not assign this Agreement without ViralGains’ prior written consent. This Agreement (which includes any price listing and/or insertion order you have with us and the ViralGains Privacy Policy) contains the entire understanding of you and ViralGains, and supersedes all prior understandings between the parties concerning its subject matter, and cannot be changed or modified by you. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be given any legal import. Upon ViralGains’ request, you will furnish ViralGains any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with this Agreement. You agree that this Agreement will not be construed against ViralGains by virtue of having drafted it. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of this Agreement and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute this Agreement.

21. Statute of Limitations

You and ViralGains both agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or this Agreement (including the Privacy Policy) must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after such claim or cause of action arose or will be forever barred.
