Except as explicitly stated in these Terms, North Lane and our licensors reserve all rights in and to our Services and the North Lane Content. We hereby grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use our Services and North Lane Content for your internal business purposes; however, such license is subject to these Terms and does not include any right to (a) sell, resell or commercially use our Services or North Lane Content; (b) copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform or publicly display North Lane Content, except as expressly permitted by us or our licensors; (c) modify the North Lane Content, remove any proprietary rights notices or markings, or otherwise make any derivative uses of our Services or North Lane Content; (d) use any data mining, robots or similar data gathering or extraction methods; and (e) use our Services or North Lane Content other than for their intended purposes. Any use of our Services or North Lane Content other than as specifically authorized herein, without our prior written permission, is strictly prohibited and will terminate the license granted herein.
Any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, original or creative materials or other information you submit about North Lane or our products or Services (collectively, “Feedback”), is non-confidential and will become the sole property of North Lane. We will own exclusive rights, including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights, in and to Feedback and will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you.
We have a policy of limiting access to our Services and terminating the accounts of users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that anything on our Services infringes any copyright that you own or control, you may notify North Lane’s Designated Agent as follows:
| Designated Agent: | Director of Compliance |
| Address: | North Lane Technologies, Inc. |
| P.O. Box 284 | |
| Conshohocken, PA 19428 | |
| E-Mail Address: | privacy@northlane.com |
Please see 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) for the requirements of a proper notification. Also, please note that if you knowingly misrepresent that any activity or material on our Services is infringing, you may be liable to North Lane for certain costs and damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless North Lane, our subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of our respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively, the “North Lane Parties”) from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, expenses or costs ("Claims") arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of our Services; (b) your User Content or Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with our Services. You agree to promptly notify North Lane of any third party Claims, cooperate with North Lane Parties in defending such Claims and pay all fees, costs and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees). You also agree that North Lane will have control of the defense or settlement of any third party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and North Lane or the other North Lane Parties.
(a) We do not control, endorse or take responsibility for any User Content or third-party content available on or linked to by our Services.
(b) Your use of our Services is at your sole risk. Our Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, North Lane does not represent or warrant that our Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. While North Lane attempts to make your access to and use of our Services safe, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Services or servers are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services.
(a) North Lane and the other North Lane 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 North Lane or the other North Lane Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
(b) The total liability of North Lane and the other North Lane Parties, for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to access or use our Services.
(c) The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of North Lane or the other North Lane 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.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release North Lane and the other North Lane Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
(a) Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with North Lane and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
(b) Except for small claims disputes in which you or North Lane seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or North Lane seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and North Lane waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Manhattan, New York, New York in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules") of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
(c) You and North Lane agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and North Lane and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
(d) You and North Lane agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 12 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 JAMS 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; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct 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. You and North Lane agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and North Lane will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by North Lane, North Lane will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and North Lane agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States sitting in Manhattan, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
(e) Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and North Lane will not have the right to assert the claim.
These Terms and your access to and use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Delaware and the United States, respectively, sitting in Wilmington, DE.
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time by providing notice to you. We will provide notice to you by posting the amended Terms to our Services and updating the “Last Updated” date above. We may also provide additional notice, such as by sending an email notification to the email address associated with your account or providing supplemental notice through our Services. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately upon posting to our Services, and your continued access to and use of our Services after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services.
We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use our Services. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.
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.
In no event will North Lane or the North Lane Parties be responsible for any delay or failure to perform due to an event or circumstances outside the reasonable control of North Lane. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and North Lane relating to your access to and use of our Services. The failure of North Lane to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. 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.
