To the extent allowed by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Swell Spark, its affiliates, officers, directors, representatives, employees, consultants, and agents from and against any claims, allegations, damages, losses, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that such party may suffer or incur as a result of (i) your use or misuse of our Sites, (ii) your infringement of any intellectual property, invasion of privacy, or other right of Swell Spark or any third party, (iii) your violation of any applicable law, or (iv) your breach of these Terms of Use.  Swell Spark reserves the right to participate in the defense of any such claim, at its own cost, without limiting or relieving you of your indemnification obligations.

These Terms of Use (including without limitation the validity, construction and performance of duties related to the Terms of Use) are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Missouri without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.

You shall first contact us at privacy@swellspark.com regarding any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, or any breach thereof, or the use of our Sites, except such claims or controversies for which injunctive relief is available.  Any claim or controversy that cannot be resolved by the parties after the exercise of good faith discussion within thirty (30) days shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org. You agree that, by accepting these Terms of Use, you and Swell Spark are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms of Use evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.

In the event that binding arbitration is not enforceable, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the State of Missouri, U.S.A. for the resolution any disputes.  Any cause of action you may have with respect to your use of our Sites must be commenced within six (6) months after the claim or cause of action arises.
