WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, PANASONIC WELL AND ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS, OR AFFILIATES MAKE NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We make no warranty that the Services will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. We make no warranty regarding the quality, accuracy, timeliness, truthfulness, completeness, or reliability of any information or content on the Services.

7. Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold Panasonic Well and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your User Content; or (d) your interaction with any user. Panasonic Well reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate in asserting any available defenses.

8. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL PANASONIC WELL OR ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR (a) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, (b) ANY LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR PROFITS, (c) SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR (d) THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. THESE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PANASONIC WELL OR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS, OR AFFILIATES HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PANASONIC WELL’S, ITS EMPLOYEES’, AGENTS’, CONSULTANTS’, CONTRACTORS’, OR AFFILIATES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO $100.00 USD.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND PANASONIC WELL.

9. Disputes

• 9.1 Mandatory arbitration of disputes. You and Panasonic Well agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of your use of the Services, or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including any dispute relating to these arbitration provisions themselves, will be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration by a single arbitrator and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding, except as set forth under the “Exceptions to agreement to arbitrate” below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or applicability of this “Mandatory arbitration of disputes” section, including its enforceability, revocability, or validity. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
• 9.2 Arbitration procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live, unless we both agree to another location or to desk arbitration.
• 9.3 Arbitration costs. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Panasonic Well will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you.
• 9.4 Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 9.6 below, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that either party seeks public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
• 9.5 Exceptions to agreement to arbitrate. Notwithstanding the mandatory arbitration agreement in Section 9.1, either you or Panasonic Well may (1) assert claims, if they qualify, in a U.S. small claims court; or (2) bring an individual action seeking only injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent or stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property without first engaging in arbitration described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the Northern District of California to resolve your claim.
• 9.6 NO CLASS ACTIONS OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. You may only resolve disputes with Panasonic Well on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, the entirety of this “Disputes” section will be deemed void.

10. Third party interactions

Our Services may contain links to websites or services that are owned or operated by third parties. Panasonic Well is not responsible for these third party websites or services, and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to such third party websites or services. You use all links to third party websites and services at your own risk.

11. Miscellaneous

• 11.1 Governing law. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California except for its conflicts of laws principles. Except as otherwise set forth in the “Disputes” section above, the exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes, claims, or controversies that you and Panasonic Well are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California. You and Panasonic Well each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
• 11.2 Compliance with laws. You acknowledge that the Services are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States and Japan. You warrant that you will comply in all respects with United States and Japanese export laws and regulations, as well as any applicable local, state, national, and foreign laws governing your use of the Services.
• 11.3 Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Panasonic Well with respect to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersedes all prior oral and written understandings, communications, or agreements not specifically incorporated herein.
• 11.4 Waiver, severability, and assignment. Panasonic Well’s failure to enforce a provision in these Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision in these Terms is found void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. Panasonic Well may assign its rights to any of affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.
• 11.5 Modification. Panasonic Well may modify these Terms from time to time. If a revision materially affects your legal rights, we will notify you in advance (e.g., via email). If you don’t agree to the updates, please cancel your account before the updates become effective. By continuing to use or access the Services after the updates go into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
