THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10 APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
12. Miscellaneous.
12.1 Waiver. The failure by Imply to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit Imply’s right to enforce such provision at a later time. All waivers by Imply must be in writing to be effective.
12.2 Severability. If any portion of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to effect and intent of the original portion. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed from these Terms, but the rest will remain in full force and effect.
12.3 Force Majeure. Imply and its affiliates will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond Imply’s reasonable control, including acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical or power outages, utilities or other telecommunication failures, earthquake, storms, or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.
12.4 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. You will not assign or otherwise transfer these Terms or any of your rights and obligations under these Terms, without Imply’s prior written consent. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this section will be void. Imply may assign these Terms without your consent (a) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of Imply’s assets or (b) to any affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganization; and effective upon such assignment, the assignee is deemed substituted for Imply as a party to these Terms, and Imply is fully released from all of its obligations and duties to perform under these Terms. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a party to these Terms.
12.5 Governing Law. The laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of law rules, govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between the parties. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
12.6 Dispute. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW APPLY TO THESE TERMS. 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 THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS AS A COURT WOULD.
12.7 Modifications to these Terms. Imply may modify these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on the Imply site. The modified terms will become effective upon posting. By attending the Event after the effective date of any modifications to these Terms, you agree to be bound by the modified terms. It is your responsibility to check the Imply site regularly for modifications to these Terms. Imply last modified these Terms on the date listed at the beginning of these Terms.
12.8 Entire Agreement; English Language. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Imply regarding the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, agreements, or communications between you and Imply, whether written or verbal, regarding the subject matter of these Terms. Imply will not be bound by, and specifically object to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to the provisions of these Terms (whether or not it would materially alter these Terms). If Imply provides a translation of the English version of these Terms, the English version of these Terms will control if there is any conflict.
