18. Scope of Disclaimers, Exclusions, and Limits. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limits stated in sections 16, 17, and 18 apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no more. The Company does not intend to deprive you of any mandatory protections provided to you by law.

19. Indemnification
  1. In General. You will pay the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, licensors, content providers, and service providers (collectively, the " Indemnified Parties") for any loss of an Indemnified Party’s that is caused by any of the following (whether actual or alleged): (a) your use of the Website; (b) your breach of this agreement; (c) your violation of law; (d) your submission, posting, or transmission of user content to the Website; or (e) your violation of a third party’s rights. But you are not required to pay if the loss was caused by the Indemnified Party’s actual intentional misconduct.
  2. Definitions:
    - "Loss" means an amount that the Indemnified Party is legally responsible for or pays in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages.
    - A loss is "caused by" an event if the loss would not have happened without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
  3. The Indemnified Party’s Duty to Notify You. The Indemnified Party will notify you before the 30th day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be compelled to pay. But the Indemnified Party’s failure to timely notify you does not end your obligation, except if that failure prejudices your ability to defend or mitigate losses.
  4. Legal Defense of a Claim. The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it) unless the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense, you will not settle any litigation without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party’s fault, or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. You and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim.
  5. No Exclusivity. The Indemnified Party’s rights under this section 20 do not affect other rights the Indemnified Parties might have.
20. Dispute Resolution
  1. Litigation Election. Either party may elect to litigate the following type of case or controversy: (a) an action seeking injunctive or other equitable relief, or (b) a suit to compel compliance with this dispute resolution procedure.
  2. Negotiation. Each party will allow the other a reasonable opportunity to comply before it claims that the other has not met the duties under this agreement. The parties will first meet and negotiate with each other in good faith to try to resolve all disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to the Website.
  3. Mediation. If the parties cannot settle a dispute arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement through negotiation after 30 days, either party may, by notice to the other party and the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (" CPR"), demand mediation under the Mediation Procedure of CPR. Mediation will take place in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, U.S.A. The language of the mediation will be English. Each party will bear its own costs in mediation, and the parties will share equally between them all third-party mediation costs unless the parties agree differently in writing. Each party will participate actively and constructively in mediation proceedings once started and will attend at least one joint meeting between the mediator and the parties. Any party may terminate mediation at any time after an initial meeting between the mediator and the parties.
  4. Arbitration
    1. Claim Procedure. If the parties cannot settle a dispute through mediation, the parties will settle any unresolved dispute arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement by arbitration administered by CPR under its Rules for Administered Arbitration. A single arbitrator will preside over the arbitration. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, enforceability, or formation of this agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable.
    2. Arbitration Location. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration will take place in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, U.S.A.
    3. Arbitration Fees. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration.
    4. Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief that would be available in a court at law or in equity, except that the arbitrator must not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in this agreement. The award rendered by the arbitrator must include costs of arbitration, reasonable legal fees in accordance with section 21.7, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. The arbitrator’s award will bind the parties and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    5. Confidentiality. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this agreement without the advance written consent of both parties.
  5. Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that breach by either party of the obligations under this agreement could cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. If any breach occurs or is threatened, the injury party may promptly seek enforcement of this agreement by means of specific performance, injunction, restraining order, or any other equitable remedy, in each case without posting a bond or other security and without proof of actual money damages in connection with the claim.
  6. Jurisdiction and Venue
    - If a party brings any court proceeding authorized under this agreement, that party will bring that court proceeding only in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa or in any state court of competent jurisdiction in Linn County, Iowa, and each party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts for purposes of any court proceeding, except that judgement on an award rendered in arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    - Each party hereby waives any claim that any court proceeding brought in accordance with section 21.6(a) has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of that court proceeding is improper.
  7. Recovery of Expenses. In any proceedings between the parties arising out of or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. For purposes of this section 21.7, "prevailing party" means, for any proceeding, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the prevailing party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the prevailing party in those proceedings.
  8. Jury Trial Waiver. Each party hereby waives its right to a trial by jury in any proceedings arising out of, or relating to the subject matter of, this agreement. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial.
  9. Class Action Waiver. All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless the Company agrees otherwise, the arbitrator will not consolidate more than one person’s claims. Both parties acknowledge that each party is waiving the right to participate in a class action.
  10. Limitation on Time to Bring Claims. A party will not bring a claim arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.

    2. that if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision would result in failure of an essential purpose of this agreement, the entire agreement will be held unenforceable;
    3. that if an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this section 22.5, then the rest of the agreement will remain in effect as written; and

  11. Successors and Assigns. This agreement inures to the benefit of, and binds, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
