We do not warrant that the Website will meet your requirements, that any results obtained from use of the Website will be accurate or reliable, that errors in the Website will be corrected, or that the Website or the servers that make the Website available are free of viruses or other harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SWAY FOR FUTURE, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Sway for Future and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms, your use of the Website in a manner not permitted by these Terms, your submission of any materials to us that infringe any third-party rights, your breach of any representations or warranties you have made to us, or your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us and our defense of such claims. You agree not to settle any such claim without our prior written consent.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 15, you agree that any legal action or proceeding that is not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, or our services, including any question regarding the existence, validity, interpretation, or termination of these Terms, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award.

The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California, unless the parties agree in writing to a different location. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that a court could order, but shall have no power to award punitive or exemplary damages.

The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to appeal except on the limited grounds provided under the Federal Arbitration Act or applicable California law. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees in the arbitration, and the arbitrator's fees shall be shared equally by the parties, except that where applicable law requires a different allocation, the applicable law shall control.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the outcome of arbitration.

16. Class Action Waiver

YOU AND SWAY FOR FUTURE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver in this section is unenforceable for any reason, the arbitration clause in Section 15 shall not apply to the relevant claim, and those claims shall be resolved in court on a class basis subject to the governing law and jurisdiction provisions of Section 14.

17. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document and, where required or deemed appropriate, by posting a notice on the Website or sending an email to registered users. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms means you accept and agree to the changes. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to ensure you are aware of the current version.

18. General Provisions

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sway for Future with respect to your use of the Website and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, relating to such use.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect, and the court may modify the invalid provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Waiver: No failure or delay by Sway for Future in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms will operate as a waiver of that right, power, or remedy. No waiver of any breach of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Sway for Future.
