Warranties and Disclaimers

We warrant that the Services are based on our reasonable efforts to compile and analyze the best sources reasonably available to us at any given time; provided, however, any opinions reflect our judgment at the time and are subject to change.

Applicable Law; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Services must be arbitrated (to the extent permitted by law), except for any dispute in which equitable or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents is sought. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING US IN COURT AND FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You must notify us in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days after it arises, at: Vendôme Partners LLC, 1270 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020. The arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York, U.S.A., by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The state or federal courts in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, U.S.A. have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute regarding the Services or these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, NO CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE COMMENCED OR PURSUED.

General Terms

As used in these Terms, “including” means “including without limitation.”

If any provision of these Terms will be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. In no case will any preprinted terms on your purchase order or similar document have any effect.

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us.
