To the fullest extent permitted by law, HQM Media, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site, its content, or any services obtained through it.
This limitation applies to, without limitation:

  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

Certain jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, HQM Media’s liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HQM Media, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to them or your use of the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Binding Arbitration.
Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site (each, a “Dispute”) that cannot be resolved informally shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration will take place in Jackson County, Missouri, and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes subject to arbitration, including issues relating to the interpretation, scope, enforceability, or formation of these Terms. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Restrictions.
The parties agree that arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis only. To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • No arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding.
  • There is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; and
  • No arbitration shall include claims brought on behalf of the general public.

Exceptions to Arbitration.
HQM Media may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, or other proprietary rights. Additionally, either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court.

Venue.
If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri. You consent to personal jurisdiction and waive any objection to venue in such courts.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to these Terms.

You agree that HQM Media shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from your inability to access or use the Site during any downtime, suspension, or discontinuance. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to obligate HQM Media to maintain, support, or provide any updates, corrections, or enhancements to the Site.
HQM Media reserves the right to correct any typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, and to update or change information on the Site at any time without prior notice.

These Terms, together with HQM Media’s Privacy Policy and any additional agreements or notices incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and HQM Media regarding your use of the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, or agreements, whether written or oral.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
HQM Media’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without HQM Media’s prior written consent. HQM Media may assign its rights and obligations at any time without notice.
These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created between you and HQM Media because of these Terms or your use of the Site.
These Terms are to be interpreted according to their plain meaning and not against HQM Media as the drafting party. You hereby waive any defenses based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of a physical signature to execute them.
