WE DISCLAIM, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING SECURITY, CURRENCY, CORRECTNESS, QUALITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, PERFORMANCE, TIMELINESS, OR CONTINUED AVAILABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE SITES.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL/REPUTATION, OR LOST ANTICIPATED BUSINESS (EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY.
INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold CCC and our affiliates, officers, directors, owners, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, governmental investigations, demands, actions, and proceedings, real or threatened, and all losses, judgments, awards, settlements, damages, fines, injuries, penalties, and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or related to (i) your use of the Sites; (ii) any breach or alleged breach of these Terms, including the representations contained herein, by you; (iii) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (iv) your gross negligence or willful misconduct.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, and/or the Service, including, but not limited to, alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties (a “Dispute”) shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in this paragraph. If the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute through informal means, either party may initiate binding arbitration of such Dispute by sending notice demanding arbitration to the other party. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the Dispute has arisen, but in no event shall it be made more than one year from when the aggrieved party knew or should have known of the controversy, claim, or facts forming the basis of the Dispute. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to American Arbitration Association rules and procedures for commercial arbitration, including provisions for the resolution of consumer disputes (the “Arbitration Rules”). If a Dispute is within the jurisdiction of the small claims court of Sonoma County, California, it may be submitted to such small claims court on an individual basis. The arbitration shall be conducted in Sonoma County, California before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The decision of the arbitrator will be issued with a reasoned opinion and will be final without option to appeal. If the amount in controversy is less than $10,000, the parties agree that the Dispute will be decided on the basis of written submissions without a hearing. The parties may mutually agree to conduct hearings telephonically or by video conference. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive, special, consequential, or indirect damages against any party. Arbitration costs and fees shall be divided equally between the parties except in the event of a consumer arbitration in which case arbitration costs and fees will be allocated in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines. No disputes may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS OR DISPUTES WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE; AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO PRESENT ITS CLAIM OR DISPUTE IN A COURT OF LAW EXCEPT FOR THE SUBMISSION OF CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AS PERMITTED HEREIN. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s), if any, may be entered for enforcement purposes in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
GOVERNING LAW
The Terms are governed according to the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. Subject to the dispute resolution process described above, all claims, disputes, and suits must be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in Sonoma County, California and the parties agree to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
FORCE MAJEURE
We will be excused from failures or delays in delivery or performance of the Sites, if such failure or delay is attributable to causes our reasonable control such as weather, acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorist attack, disease, epidemic/pandemic, criminal activity, riot, civil unrest, strike, or utility failure.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Terms constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us with regard to the subject matter hereof. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, the parties intend that the offending provision be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be lawful and enforceable. Portions of the Terms which by their nature would survive termination of your use of the Sites (e.g., disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, indemnification) will be deemed to survive. Headings are provided as a convenience and should not be used as interpretive aids. The Terms do not create any joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between the parties. You agree that ambiguities in the Terms will not be construed against us by attribution of drafting. We may assign any of our rights or obligations to others at any time without notice to you. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations to others without our prior written consent.
