Except as otherwise provided in a writing by us, our Site and any content therein are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, Fullmark Energy does not represent or warrant that our Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. While Fullmark Energy attempts to make your use of our Site and any content therein safe, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Site or servers are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Site.

10              Limitation of Liability

(a)   To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Fullmark Energy and the other Fullmark Energy Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if advised in advance of the possibility of such damages or losses.

(b)  The total liability of Fullmark Energy and the other Fullmark Energy Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Site, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of $100.

(c)   The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of Fullmark Energy or the other Fullmark Energy Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Fullmark Energy and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

(a)   No Representative Actions. You and Fullmark Energy agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site is personal to you and Fullmark Energy and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

(b)  Arbitration of Disputes.  Except for small claims disputes in which you or Fullmark Energy seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Fullmark Energy seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Fullmark Energy waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against Fullmark Energy you agree to first contact Fullmark Energy and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Fullmark Energy by email at [insert email]. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above, and we will contact you at the email or mailing address you have provided.

(c)   If you and Fullmark Energy cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, or longer if agreed in writing by the parties, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to the AAA will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in [insert county, state] unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this section, a “consumer” means a person using the Site for personal, family or household purposes. If you are a consumer, the rules applicable to any claims between you and Fullmark Energy are the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this dispute resolution section.

(d)  You and Fullmark Energy agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability, validity, enforceability, and scope. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

(e)   The arbitration may allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute.  The arbitrator, Fullmark Energy, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. 

(f)    To the extent permitted by law, a claimant must pay all reasonable costs and fees incurred by the responding party—including arbitration fees, attorney fees, and expert fees—related to a claim if an arbitrator or court determines that (i) the claim was not warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument or (ii) the claim was filed in arbitration for any improper purpose, including to harass the responding party, cause unnecessary delay, or increase the cost of dispute resolution.

(g)   Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and Fullmark Energy will not have the right to assert the claim.

(h)  You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date that you first accessed or used the Site by [insert instructions]. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with these Terms.

(i)    If any portion of this section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this section; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section will be enforceable.

12               Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, U.S.A., without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location. You agree to exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Cook County, Illinois, U.S.A., and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

13               Modifying and Terminating our Site

We reserve the right to modify our Site or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Site at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Site at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Site.

14               Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

16               Miscellaneous

The failure of Fullmark Energy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.
