PROHIBITED USES

Except as otherwise stated in these Terms or as expressly authorized by Polytope in writing, you may not:

Use this Site in any manner that could damage or overburden any Polytope server, or any network connected to any Polytope server, as all servers have limited capacity and are used by many people;
Use this Site in any manner that would interfere with another party’s use of the Site;
Include the term “Polytope,” or any Polytope trademark or executive’s name, or any variation of the foregoing, as a meta-tag, hidden textual element;
Use any robot, spider, intelligent agent, other automatic device, or manual process to search, monitor or copy this Site or the reports, data, information, content, software, products services, or other materials on, generated by or obtained from this Site, whether through links or otherwise (collectively, “Materials”), without Polytope’s permission, provided that generally available third-party web browsers may be used without such permission; or
Use this Site or the Materials in any manner that could create impression of affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement by Polytope.

INDEMNITY AND RELEASE

You agree to release, indemnify and hold Polytope harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

CHOICE OF LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by you and us, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or such arbitration body as required by law, rule or regulation, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a single arbitrator in the City of Miami, Florida. Such arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement, or a portion thereof, shall be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND POLYTOPE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us and you with respect to the Site and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements and understandings between Polytope and you with respect to the subject matter hereof. A printed version of this Agreement shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings.
