13. Indemnification.
Upon a request by Frost, User agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Frost, Frost’s Affiliates, the Data Providers and each of the Data Provider Parties harmless from all liabilities, amounts, damages, claims, alleged claims, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, that arise from, involve, are related to or otherwise are connected with (i) User’s use or misuse of the Platform, the Site, the App and/or any of the other Services; (ii) any misrepresentation, fraud or other act or omission that is inconsistent with the requirements of the Platform, the Site, the App or any agreements entered into between Frost and User; (iii) any breach of or noncompliance with any provision of these Terms of Use; (iv) any violation of applicable law by User; (vi) any infringement or violation of any intellectual property rights by User (or by User’s actions or omissions, equipment or other property), whether Frost's rights or those of a Data Provider, Data Provider Party or other third party; (vii) any User Material that User imports, uploads or otherwise provides to the Service; and (viii) any claims from any third parties that may be impacted by, arise from or relate to your use of the Services (including any data or information obtained via the Services), whether authorized or unauthorized. Frost reserves the right, at Frost’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by User, in which event User will cooperate with Frost in asserting any available defenses.
14. International Use.
Although the Platform, the Site and/or the App and/or other Services may be accessible worldwide, Frost makes no representation that (i) use of, or Content on, the Platform, the Site, the App or any other Services are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and (ii) use of the Platform, the Site, the App, or any other Services, or Content on the Platform, the Site or the App or made available via the Services, are compliant with foreign law. Users who choose to access the Platform, the Site, the App or other Services from other locations do so on User’s own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws and requirements. Any offer for any product, service, and/or information made in connection with the Platform, the Site, the App or with any of the other Services is void where prohibited.
15. Law; Venue.
User agrees that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between User and Frost, except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Use. All claims under these Terms of Use or related to User’s relationship with the Platform, the Site, the App or the other Services shall be brought in Washington, DC.
16. Arbitration
16.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” User agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between User and Frost, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement or in connection with Users use of the Platform or other Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that User may assert individual claims in small claims court, if User’s claims qualify. User agrees that, by agreeing to this Agreement, User and Frost are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. User’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
16.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. User and Frost agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both User and Frost agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).
16.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Frost is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the participant’s satisfaction by emailing Frost’s support team at support@ifrost.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Frost should be sent to Frost at support@ifrost.com Attn: McEwen Hardy (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Frost and User do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, User or Frost may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Frost or User shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which User or Frost is entitled.
16.4 Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Frost and User agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If User’s claim is for $10,000 or less, Frost agrees that User may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If User’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
16.5 Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
16.6 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
16.7 Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than clause 16.2 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause 16.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.
17. Entire Agreement.
These terms and conditions together with the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement and understanding between Frost and User concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties with respect thereto. These Terms of Use may NOT be altered, supplemented, or amended by the use of any other document(s). Any attempt to alter, supplement or amend this document or to enter an order for products or services which are subject to additional or altered terms and conditions shall be null and void, unless otherwise agreed to in a written agreement signed by User and Frost. To the extent that anything in or associated with the Platform, the Site or the App is in conflict or inconsistent with these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use shall take precedence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any submission or screen on the Platform, the Site or the App related to pricing or otherwise agreed to by User related to usage limitations or pricing for the Services shall supplement these Terms of Use and apply to the User.
