CONSUMER AGREES TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend Consumer's rights under these Terms, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Consumer's rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and Consumer's claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the section below entitled "Dispute Resolution and Arbitration" for the details regarding Consumer's agreement to arbitrate any disputes with TrustedSite.

Subject to Customer's payment of all applicable fees, TrustedSite will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide support, whether online or by telephone, only during normal Pacific Standard Time working hours. Any additional support must be purchased by Customer under a separate agreement.

If Customer requests implementation support that requires TrustedSite to access Customer’s website or systems or to make changes to any Customer code, Customer assumes all responsibility to ensuring any changes made are appropriate and non-breaking. If TrustedSite decides, in our sole discretion, to provide implementation support, TrustedSite makes no representation or warranty that such implementation will be complete or error-free.

Customer hereby authorizes TrustedSite to perform Network Security Audits, on any Devices and IPs specified by Customer. Network Security Audits are performed with the assistance of TrustedSite employees or its appointed contractors, and may from time to time include additional probing and validation beyond the scope of our automated vulnerability scanning system. In certain cases, the exploitation of a vulnerability and/or minimal extraction of data from the target server may be conducted to support our security audit findings, or to illustrate a vulnerability to Customer.

Penetration Testing services are governed by additional terms provided prior to any test being performed. All such additional terms are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then Customer and TrustedSite submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida for the purpose of litigating any dispute.

General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Customer and TrustedSite regarding Customer's use of the Service. Customer agrees that these terms supersede any prior agreements or statements made verbally or in writing. Except as expressly permitted above, these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties. Customer may not assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without TrustedSite's prior written consent. TrustedSite may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. Failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO CUSTOMER.
Term and Termination
1. Customer agrees these Terms shall remain in effect for as long as Customer subscribes to, renews, or uses the Service. Customer agrees that this agreement can only be terminated by Customer after Customer has stopped using the Service and paid all monies owed to TrustedSite. Customer agrees that TrustedSite can terminate this agreement at any time with or without cause, if TrustedSite has reason to believe that Customer is violating these Terms in any way, or if the Service is permanently discontinued. Each renewal of the Service shall again be subject to these or modified Terms in effect at the time of renewal. Upon termination of these Terms, Sections 4(b), 8, 9, and 13 through 28, along with the Privacy Policy, will survive.
2. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change these Terms on a going-forward basis at any time. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. If a change to these Terms materially modifies Customer's rights or obligations, Customer must accept the modified Terms to continue to use the Service. Material modifications are effective upon Customer's acceptance of the modified Terms. Immaterial modifications are effective upon publication. Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the version of these Terms in effect at the time the dispute arose.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

If Customer is a Consumer, this Section 28 applies. If Customer is not a Consumer, all disputes will be handled in accordance with Section 25.
1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between Consumer and TrustedSite in the most expedient and cost effective manner, Consumer and TrustedSite agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. CONSUMER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, CONSUMER AND TRUSTEDSITE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
2. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 28(a), nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between Consumer and TrustedSite will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting TrustedSite.
4. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice"). TrustedSite's address for Notice is: TrustedSite, LLC, 929 Alton Road, Suite 500, Miami Beach, FL 33139 USA. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, Consumer or TrustedSite may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Consumer or TrustedSite must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in Consumer's favor, TrustedSite will pay Consumer the highest of the following: (iii) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (iv) the last written settlement amount offered by TRUSTEDSITE in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (v) $1,000.
5. Fees. If Consumer commences arbitration in accordance with these Terms, TrustedSite will reimburse Consumer for Consumer's payment of the filing fee, unless Consumer's claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Miami-Dade County, Florida, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, Consumer may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of Consumer's billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Consumer's claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, Consumer agrees to reimburse TrustedSite for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise Consumer's obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
6. No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CONSUMER AND TRUSTEDSITE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN CONSUMER'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both Consumer and TrustedSite agree otherwise, 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, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
7. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If TrustedSite makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to TrustedSite's address for Notice, Consumer may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to TrustedSite's address for Notice, in which case Consumer's account with TrustedSite will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes Consumer rejected will survive.
8. Enforceability. If Section 28(f) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 28 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 28 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 25 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
