In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, ET has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at ET’s sole discretion, members who are deemed to be repeat infringers. ET may also, at ET’s sole discretion, limit access to the Website and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

MISCELLANEOUS

Waiver. No waiver of a breach of any term of the Terms of Use will be effective unless in writing and duly executed by the waiving party. No such waiver will constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term of the Terms of Use. No failure on the part of a party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any of its rights hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by a party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No course of dealing between the parties will be deemed effective to modify, amend, or discharge any part of the Terms of Use or the rights or obligations of any party hereunder.

Entire Agreement. Except for any License Agreement, the Terms of Use contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may only be as set forth herein. There are no representations, warranties, or obligations of any party not expressly contained herein.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Relationship. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Terms of Use, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms of Use. You agree that no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms of Use.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The Terms of Use will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of law principles. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this contract, including the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The arbitration will take place in New York, New York. You and ET shall select jointly one arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators submitted to the parties by AAA who have, to the fullest extent possible, experience with and knowledge of the relevant industry. If the parties are unable to select jointly an arbitrator, the AAA shall appoint the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on any challenge to its own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of the agreement to arbitrate. You and ET consult agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that the terms of use do not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force.

Partial Invalidity. If any provision of the Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable by a competent authority, that provision will be construed so as to be limited or reduced to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the law as it shall then appear. The total invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of the Terms of Use will not affect its other provisions and the Terms of Use will be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

TERMS OF USE VIOLATIONS

Please report any violations of the Terms of Use to ET’s support staff.
