— Important Legal Terms —

Except for the names, logos, or products of other companies mentioned on our Website or any Material, all Materials and other Website content, including, but not limited to, our name, marks, and logos, and a Website’s look, feel, text, pictures, data, format, materials, graphics, sound files, and other files, constitute the intellectual property of Axios HQ or its licensors. We reserve all intellectual property rights in and to the Website and all Materials (including, but not limited to, any modification or improvements thereto or derivative works thereof).

Additionally, you may not use any metatags or any other hidden text using our intellectual property without our prior written consent.  You are expressly prohibited from using Axios HQ’s intellectual property as contained in the Website or Materials in a manner which violates these Terms, including the use restrictions above.  

Disclaimers of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES PERTAINING TO THE WEBSITE AND MATERIALS. YOU AGREE THAT THE USE OF THE WEBSITE AND ALL MATERIALS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WE PROVIDE ALL WEBSITE AND MATERIALS ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY) (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY OF DATA). 

Further, we make no warranties or representations, express or implied: (a) that the Website and Materials will be free from error, omission, interruption, defect, or delay in operation, or from technical inaccuracies or typographical errors; (b) that the Website and Materials will be available at any specific time or location; (c) that defects or errors in the Website and Materials will be corrected; (d) that the Website and Materials are free of viruses or other harmful components; or (e) that the Website or Materials will meet your needs or requirements. No opinion, advice, or statement of Axios HQ or its affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees, representatives, partners, licensors, customers, whether made on the Website, Materials, or otherwise, shall create any warranty of any kind with regards to the Website or Materials.

Limitation and Exclusion of Liability

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER AXIOS HQ NOR ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, PARTNERS, OR LICENSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE WEBSITE, MATERIALS, OR ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, DATA, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND MATERIALS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABILITY OF AXIOS HQ AND ITS AFFILIATES OR OTHERS THAT AXIOS HQ WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE WEBSITE AND MATERIALS EXCEED ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100 USD)  IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ALL CLAIMS,

YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT AXIOS HQ AND ITS AFFILIATES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD-PARTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROVIDERS OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, AND THAT THE RISK OF ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITE AND MATERIALS, AND OF HARM FROM THE FOREGOING, RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.

THIS LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IS PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND AXIOS HQ AND WILL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS OF LIABILITY EVEN IF THESE REMEDIES FAIL IN THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS PROVISION IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF ARBITRATION. YOU SHOULD TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO RESEARCH AND CONSULT WITH QUALIFIED COUNSEL REGARDING THESE TERMS AND THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENTS BEFORE DECIDING TO ACCESS AND USE THE WEBSITE OR MATERIALS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO NOT USE THE WEBSITE OR MATERIALS. 

In the event of a dispute between you and Axios HQ related in any way to the Website or Materials, you agree to contact us at legal@axioshq.com to make us aware of your dispute and the nature of your claims. You agree to negotiate with us in good faith for at least 30 days on a potential resolution to the dispute. If no resolution is reached after such time, arbitration proceedings may be initiated. 

Any dispute or claim brought by you against us relating in any way to the Website or Materials (including, but not limited to, your access and use of the Website or Materials) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow these Terms as a court would.  The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. 

The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider.  Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.  If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, then the American Arbitration Association will arbitrate the dispute. You agree to have the arbitration conducted by web conference, based on written submissions, or in person in Arlington, Virginia. 

Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity aren’t allowed. Nor is combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties, including Axios HQ. You hereby agree to waive bringing the foregoing type of proceedings against us. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Axios HQ agree to waive any right to a jury trial.

Intellectual Property Complaints

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes intellectual property infringement, to help us investigate and resolve the issue, please provide the following information, in writing by email, to our Legal Department (legal@axioshq.com):

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
2. A description of the work that you claim has been infringed upon;
3. A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located within the Website (e.g., the URL);
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which you may be contacted;
5. A statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please note that this procedure is only for notifying us that you believe that your intellectual property has been infringed. Inquiries not relevant to an intellectual property infringement claim may not receive a response.

General Legal Terms

By accessing a Website or Materials, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any dispute that might arise between you and Axios HQ related to the Website and Materials. You agree that we will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief, in additional to monetary damages, if you breach any of these Terms, and that we may seek performance or an injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction and will not be obligated to arbitrate as described in the Dispute Resolution section to pursue such relief. You agree that your sole remedy for our breach of these Terms is to remove applicable content on the Website or Materials, as applicable, or discontinue your access and use of the Website and Materials. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If an arbitrator or court with authority over these Terms finds any part of it not enforceable, you and Axios HQ agree that the arbitrator or court (as the case may be) should modify these Terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the arbitrator or court cannot do that, you and Axios HQ agree to ask the arbitrator or court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of these Terms. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms or assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights, if any, under these Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Axios HQ concerning your access and use of the Website and Materials and supersedes any prior agreements between you and Axios HQ with respect to the Website and Materials.
