YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HIREART DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR VIRUS-FREE AND NO INFORMATION, ADVICE OR SERVICES OBTAINED BY YOU FROM HIREART OR THROUGH THE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

8.1 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL HIREART BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. IN ADDITION, HIREART SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, COSTS, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED ($100) U.S. DOLLARS. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
8.2 Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to you. IN THESE STATES, HIREART'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HireArt from and against any claims, actions or demands, and any resulting costs, losses, damages, or expenses, incurred by HireArt related thereto, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from; (i) your breach of this Agreement; (ii) any of Your Content that is uploaded, posted or otherwise transmitted to the Services using your Account; or (iii) or your access, contribution to, use or misuse of the Site or the Services. HireArt shall provide notice to you of any such claim, suit or demand. HireArt reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting HireArt’s defense of such matter.
You may not assign, delegate, or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without HireArt’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer this Agreement, without such consent, will be null. HireArt may freely assign or transfer this Agreement without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the then-current Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, shall be conducted in the English language, and shall be conducted before a single arbitrator mutually agreeable to the parties, or if no agreement can be reached, then selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall award reimbursement of attorneys' fees and other costs of arbitration to the prevailing party, in such manner as the arbitrator shall deem appropriate. Any decision by an arbitrator may be affirmed and reduced to judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, the losing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for the costs and expenses incurred by it, including attorneys', arbitrators' and courts' fees and expenses, in connection with any action or proceeding hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HireArt shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator. Use of the Site or Services is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that these arbitration terms are not enforceable for any reason, any legal action or proceeding related to this Site or the Terms shall be brought exclusively in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in New York, New York.
By agreeing to this Agreement, you and HireArt are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU AND HIREART EACH AGREE THAT YOU AND IT MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND HIREART AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
