Except where applicable law mandates otherwise, in no event shall Linax or its licensors and affiliates be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages (including but not limited to loss of business, revenue, profits, use, data or other economic advantage), however it arises, whether in an action of contract, negligence, tort or other action, arising out of or in connection with the Site, Services and/or Linax Materials even if Linax is advised of the possibility thereof. You must use all reasonable endeavors to mitigate any loss or damage whatsoever (and howsoever arising) and nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to relieve or abrogate you of any such duty to mitigate any loss or damage.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary for you to grant the foregoing license, and that each Submission you provide to the Site complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You are and remain responsible and liable for the content of any Submission.

7. Beta Use. During any beta use period (as indicated in an Order and/or in the Linax Materials)(the “Beta Period”), you agree (i) to promptly report to Linax any perceived defects, bugs, errors and other malfunctions in the Site, the Services and/or the Linax Materials experienced by you and (ii) upon discovery of any catastrophic or other material defect, to suspend all use of the Services and the Linax Materials until further written notice by Linax. You further agree that Linax may request periodic evaluations of the Site, the Services and/or the Linax Materials, including both positive and negative aspects, provided that your participation in any such evaluation shall always be voluntary. Unless earlier terminated, upon the end of any Beta Period, these Terms and Conditions, as applicable to standard (non-beta) usage shall continue to apply including, but not limited to, any fees referred to in an Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no fees have been set forth in an Order, then all rights granted to you under these Terms and Conditions shall terminate at the end of the Beta Period.

The Data, other than the Submissions (the use of which is governed by Section 6 hereof), shall be owned by Linax and may be used by Linax for any purpose.

No Linax Materials, and no software or any other materials associated with the Site and/or Services, may be downloaded, obtained or otherwise exported or re-exported to countries or persons prohibited under relevant export control laws, including, without limitation, countries against which the United States has embargoed goods, or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders. You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your local jurisdiction regarding the import, export, or re-export of any such materials.

Any claim must be brought in the claimant’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator in English and in accordance with the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (the “BCICAC”) Canadian Arbitration Shorter Rules for Domestic Arbitrations, which shall administer the arbitration and act as appointing authority (unless another arbitrator is mutually agreed by Linax and you).

You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the provincial and federal courts in British Columbia for the purposes of any judicial proceedings to obtain interim relief and in aid of the arbitration or judicial proceedings to confirm or enforce the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Linax may seek preliminary injunctive relief from any court of law having competent jurisdiction in the event of a breach by you.

Termination will be effective without notice.

11. Waiver. Failure to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance.
