UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WILLFULNESS OR NEGLIGENCE, SHALL EARLY BIRD, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ASSIGNS OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, RESULTING, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM: (1) ANY INFORMATION OR CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE; (2) YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, USE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION OR CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE, DISRUPTIONS, ERRORS, DISCLOSURES OF COMMUNICATIONS, INACCURACIES, MISTAKES, DEFECTS, LOSSES, DELETIONS, NONDELIVERY OF INFORMATION, DELAYS OR TERMINATIONS IN TRANSMISSION OR OPERATION, OR ANY OTHER FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE; (3) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE WEBSITE’S SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; (4) PERSONAL OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OR INJURY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, ARISING FROM YOUR VISITATION OF, ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE WEBSITE; (5) ANY MALICIOUS CODE WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE; (6) YOUR BREACH OF ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO YOUR REPRESSENTATIONS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, AGREEMENTS AND WARRANTIES MADE HEREIN; (7) ANY INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE WEBSITE AND YOUR OTHER SERVICES, COMPUTERS, DEVICES, OR SOFTWARE; AND/OR (8) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS ON THE WEBSITE OR IN ANY CONTENT POSTED TO OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE, OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, COMMUNICATED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STATUTE, CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY OF RECOVERY, AND WHETHER OR NOT EARLY BIRD IS OR WAS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN ALL JURISDICTIONS. FURTHER, YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EARLY BIRD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONTENT POSTED OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE BY YOU OR ANY OTHER USER OF THE WEBSITE, NOR THE OFFENSIVE, DEFAMATORY, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ACCOMPLISHED ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM ANY OF THE FOREGOING RESTS, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SOLELY AND COMPLETEY WITH YOU.
You hereby release Early Bird, its assigns, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers, and directors from any and all liability arising out of or in any way related to your use of, access to, or visitation of the Website.
INDEMNIFICATION. You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Early Bird, its subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, licensors, service providers, content providers, employees, agents, officers, directors, and contractors (the “Indemnified Parties” or an “Indemnified Party”) for any loss, damages or claim, including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs, of the Indemnified Parties’ that are caused by your: (1) access of, use of, of visitation of the Website; (2) conduct on or through the Website, including, but not limited to your posts, uploads or other communications on, to, or through the Website; (3) breach of any part of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any covenant, term, condition, acknowledgement, representation or warranty; (4) actual or alleged violation of the rights of any person or entity, including intellectual property rights or rights of privacy; (5) actual or alleged violation of any local, state, federal, and international law; and/or (6) actual or alleged negligent, fraudulent, intentional or criminal conduct.
If the Indemnified Party possesses your contact information, the Indemnified Party will notify you before the 30th day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim that you are required to indemnify and defend. The Indemnified Party’s failures to give you notice does not end your obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Party, except if a failure to give notice prejudices your ability to defend or mitigate damages.
The Indemnified Party shall have control over defending any claim (including settling it), unless the Indemnified Party directs you, in writing, to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense, you will not settle any dispute without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. If you want to continue defending a claim an Indemnified Party wishes to settle, you shall post a bond (in the amount, form, and content satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, taking into account the size of the claim and the anticipated defense costs) securing the Indemnified Party or its insurers against any and all costs and expenses in excess of the amount at which the Indemnified Party was willing to pay to settle such claim including, without limitation, any reasonable outside attorneys’ fees, judgments and penalties.
The indemnity and duty to defend and hold harmless supplied by this “Indemnification” section to any Indemnified Party is of no limitation to any other legal or equitable rights or remedies any Indemnified Party may otherwise have.
MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement between you and Early Bird concerning your access to, visitation of and/or use of the Website and any part thereof, including but not limited to any account, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and Early Bird regarding your use of, access to and/or visitation of the Website. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable laws to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intent of the parties, and the balance of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Early Bird’s decision not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The laws of the State of California shall be the only laws applicable to the interpretation of this Agreement, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. You agree that the state and federal courts located within Los Angeles County have exclusive and personal jurisdiction over you with regards to any dispute arising from this Agreement or your use of, access to, or visitation of the Website. For purposes of this section, the Website and all operations thereof will be deemed solely based in or arising from Los Angeles, California, and the Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Early Bird, either specific or general, in any other jurisdiction or venue. If any action is necessary to enforce any provision of this Agreement, including any claims or demands, or to interpret this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in addition to any other relief to which it may otherwise be entitled. All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a representative plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Both parties acknowledge that each party is waiving the right to participate in a class action. This agreement does not, and the parties do not intend it to, create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between the parties and the parties expressly disclaim the existence of any of these relationships between them. No party is an agent of the other, and neither party has the right to bind the other to any agreement with a nonparty. This Agreement is not for the benefit of any third party and shall be deemed not to give any right or remedy to such third party, whether referred to herein or not. This agreement inures to the benefit of, and is binding on, the parties and their respective successors and assigns, if applicable. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against or be interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, dictated or drafted such provision. Further, section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the interpretation of any section of this Agreement or of the Agreement itself.
