To the fullest extent permitted under law, cjr will have no obligation or liability (whether arising in contract, warranty, tort, including negligence, product liability, or otherwise) for any damages or liabilities, including direct, incidental, indirect, special, or consequential (including any loss of data, revenue or profit or damages arising from personal injury/wrongful death) arising with respect to your use of the sites, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. this limitation applies to damages arising from (i) use of or inability to use the sites, (ii) cost of procurement of substitute goods and services, (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions by third parties, (iv) third party content made available to you through the sites, or (v) any other matter relating to the sites.

Dispute resolution and agreement to arbitrate

By using the Sites, you and CJR agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Terms, which includes any question regarding your use of the Sites or the existence, validity, interpretation, breach, or enforcement of these Terms or any part of them, except for disputes that qualify for small claims court or those related to CJR’s intellectual property (“Dispute”), both parties shall first attempt in good faith to settle such Dispute promptly by negotiation in accordance with the following procedure:

Any party may provide written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to:

    • Us, at [Christopher John Rogers, LLC 265 Canal Street, #306 New York, NY 10013 ], or
    • You, at the address we have on file for you.

Both you and CJR agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim in any other dispute resolution proceedings against the other party. 

If any dispute cannot be resolved by the above dispute resolution procedure, you agree that the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for such dispute will be decided by binding arbitration on an individual basis. arbitration on an individual basis means that you will not have, and you waive, the right for a judge or jury to decide your claims, and that you may not proceed in a class, consolidated, or representative capacity. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. 

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination will be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. 

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable.


Choice of law and choice of forum

These Terms have been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles. Any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision discussed above shall be resolved by a court located in New York and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.


Modification and termination

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do so, we will update the “Effective Date” above. If a material modification is made to the Terms, we will post a prominent notice on the Sites and/or send you a notification. By continuing to use the Sites, or any portion thereof, after we post any such changes, you accept these Terms, as modified. 

We shall have the right to immediately terminate any rights or benefits granted under these Terms with respect to any user which we, in our sole discretion, consider to be unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by you of these Terms. More generally, we may change, restrict access to, suspend or discontinue the Sites, or any portion of the Sites, at any time and at our sole discretion.
