11. Entire Agreement / Waiver

Except with regard to your agreement to the Privacy Policy, this Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and CollectionBuddy in relation to your use of the Website (including its content), and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications (whether in writing, oral or electronic) between you and CollectionBuddy with respect to the Website. Any waiver of any term of this Agreement will only be effective if in writing and signed by a party and no waiver by CollectionBuddy of any right or remedy under this Agreement will prevent CollectionBuddy from enforcing any of its rights or remedies in any other situation where you breach this Agreement.

12. Nature of relationship / Severability

No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and CollectionBuddy as a result of this Agreement or your utilisation of the Website. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

13. Dispute Resolution

Except in the case of a party seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, any dispute between you and CollectionBuddy or you and another user arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any disputes relating to the content of the Website or the use of the Website, shall be finally and conclusively resolved by confidential binding arbitration under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitratorís award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Any hearings held in connection with such binding arbitration shall be held at an American Arbitration Association office in the State of California in the United States or in the United Kingdom, at the election of the user invoking binding arbitration.

14. Governing Law

This Agreement, including (without limitation) any disputes relating to the content the Website, whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise, is governed by the laws of the State of California in the United States, without reference to its conflict of law principles. In the event that a party wishes to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the parties agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of and for San Francisco, California in the United States.

15. Liquidated Damages

If you breach this Agreement by sending unsolicited bulk email, instant messages or other unsolicited communications of any kind through the Website, you acknowledge that you will have caused substantial harm to CollectionBuddy, but that the amount of such harm would be extremely difficult to ascertain. As a reasonable estimation of such harm, and not as a penalty, you agree to pay CollectionBuddy $100 for each such unsolicited communication you send through the Website. You understand and agree that $100 per unsolicited communication is a reasonable forecast of the damages CollectionBuddy would suffer as a result of your transmitting unsolicited communications via the Website.
