Should you voluntarily share any information with OBE, including, your surname, first name (or corporate name of your company), address, phone number, valid email, or other personal information, this data shall be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, where we describe how we manage, process, and store your data in the context of providing our Services.

Disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE OFFERED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” AND “WHERE AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND-WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY-INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THOSE WARRANTIES WHICH ARE INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR MODIFICATION UNDER THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEITHER OBE NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DO THEY MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE, OR AS TO THE TIMELINESS, SEQUENCE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS OR CONTENT OF ANY INFORMATION, SERVICE, OR MERCHANDISE PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES AND THE WEBSITE. OBE DOES NOT ENDORSE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES APPEARING ON LINKED WEBSITES OR PURCHASED VIA LINKED WEBSITES (THIS DOES NOT AFFECT ANY MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTIES THAT THE PROVIDERS OF THE LINKED WEBSITES OTHERWISE OFFER.)

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR WHERE THE LAW REQUIRES A DIFFERENT STANDARD, YOU AGREE THAT OBE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR BODILY INJURY, WHETHER CAUSED BY ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, OBE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ECONOMIC OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE INSTALLATION OR USE OF THE SERVICES, THE WEBSITE, ANY ON-LINE SERVICES OR INTERNET BROWSER SOFTWARE OR MOBILE DEVICE, INCLUDING LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH ANY COMPUTER VIRUSES WHICH MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR DEVICE.

THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY APPLIES TO ANY DAMAGES OR LOSS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE CAUSED BY ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DELETION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER/DIGITAL VIRUS, COMMUNICATION LINE FAILURE, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, OR USE OF INFORMATION, WHETHER CAUSED BY SOFTWARE, HARDWARE OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR UNDER ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION.

ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED, UPLOADED, OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO OR OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE USE OF OUR WEBSITE AND/OR SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK. YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR OTHER DEVICE OR FOR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR UPLOAD OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL. THE WEBSITE MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, PROBLEMS OR OTHER LIMITATIONS.

Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act ("CDA") (and the equivalent or similar laws in your jurisdiction) is intended to exclude or limit the liability of online service providers such as OBE, when such online service providers provide or make available access to third party user generated content (see § 230 (c)(1) which states: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider).”  The decision by OBE to remove or not post or distribute any Content, does not by itself amount to participation in the creation of such Content and, accordingly, does not constitute a waiver of the immunity afforded by the CDA.

Use by Children under the Age of 13

OBE is committed to complying fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Accordingly, if a user of this website is under the age of thirteen, that user is not authorized to provide us with personally identifying information.  Users under the age of thirteen and their parents or guardians are cautioned that the collection of personal information volunteered by unauthorized children online or by e-mail will be treated the same as information voluntarily given by an adult until OBE becomes aware that the user is under the age of thirteen.  This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. If you are younger than 13, please do not provide any personally identifying information in connection with your use of this website.

Authorization

You authorize OBE to use your Content including, without limitation, a valid email address owned or controlled by you (“the User Information”) to communicate with third parties. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that OBE sends to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing.

You consent to OBE’s use and disclosure of the Content solely in connection with its provision of the Services and in accordance with the terms herein.

Revisions to Terms of Use

OBE reserves the right to revise these Terms of Use at any time without notice, but the most current version of the Terms of Use will always be available to you by clicking on the link at the bottom of the website. If you find the Terms of Use unacceptable at any time, you should discontinue use of the website and Services. By continuing to access the website and Services after the date of any change to these Terms of Use, you agree to be bound by the rules contained in the most recent version of this Agreement.

Termination

OBE may change or discontinue the website or any of the Services at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to terminate this Terms of Use at our election and for any reason, without prior notice, and this Agreement will automatically terminate in the event that you violate any of the terms and conditions set forth below. In the event of any termination, you will immediately cease access to the website and Services.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless OBE, its affiliates and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of your violation of these Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, or misuse of the Services or this website, including such violation or misuses conducted by your employees or agents, if applicable.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use constitute a contract between you and OBE governed by the laws of the State of California.

OBE’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of the provision. Neither a course of dealing or conduct between you and OBE nor any trade practices shall be deemed to modify these Terms and Conditions.

General

Subject, to OBE’s right to amend, which you have an affirmative obligation to keep apprised of, these Terms of Use is the entire agreement between you and OBE and governs our relationship to the exclusion (to the extent permitted by law) of any other terms and conditions (other than those implied by law).

Any reference to any legislation or legislative provision in this Agreement shall be construed as a reference to that legislation or provision as amended, re-enacted or extended at the relevant time.

You acknowledge and agree that you have not been induced to enter into these Terms of Use in reliance upon any representation or other promise of any nature whatsoever other than as expressly set out herein.

The Terms of Use is binding on you and OBE and each of our respective successors and assigns.  You may not assign any rights herein without OBE’s written consent.  No person other than OBE and you has any right to a benefit under, or to enforce the terms herein.

Any waiver by OBE under these Terms of Use must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of OBE. No delay, neglect or forbearance by OBE in enforcing any provision herein shall be deemed to be a waiver or in any way prejudice any rights of OBE.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is, or becomes, illegal, unenforceable or invalid, the provision must be treated for all purposes as severed from these Terms of Use without affecting the legality, enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use.

Any provision that by its nature should or implicitly should survive termination, shall survive termination of the parties relationship and the Services.

Legal Disputes Subject to Arbitration, Dispute Resolution, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

This section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms of Use or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to interactions between users); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms of Use.

You agree to resolve any and all disputes with OBE as follows:

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: For any and all disputes, claims, or controversies you may have against OBE (“Disputes”), whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us by email at marketing@obexp.com or mail to 100 Shoreline Hwy, Suite 295B, Mill Valley, CA 94941 with the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If we do not resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days after receiving your notification, then you may pursue resolution of the Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Arbitration Procedures

If the Dispute has not been resolved and is not subject to the exclusions provided above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve all Disputes, subject to the terms set forth below.

All Disputes shall be settled solely and exclusively by final and binding arbitration at the office of the American Arbitration Association located in Los Angeles, CA and pursuant to its then applicable Arbitration Rules for Commercial Disputes.   The following shall supplement and, in the event of a conflict, shall govern such arbitration.  The parties shall select one arbitrator from a list provided by the American Arbitration Association.  The American Arbitration Association shall only list available attorneys with at least ten (10) years of experience in the practice of commercial law.   In selecting the arbitrator from the list provided by the American Arbitration Association, each party shall make the selection by the striking method.  Each party shall each bear all of its own costs of arbitration; provided, however, the fees of the arbitrator shall be divided equally between them.  Nothing herein contained shall bar OBE’s right to obtain injunctive relief against threatened conduct that will cause it loss or damage, under the usual equity rules, including the applicable rules for obtaining specific performance, restraining orders, and preliminary injunctions. 

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy or any additional policy of OBE, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of such is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Class Action Waiver

The parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. THIS MEANS THAT YOU AND OBE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A LEAD OR REPRESENTATIVE CLASS PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. HOWEVER, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED, UPON REQUEST BY EITHER PARTY, IF SUCH SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS RELATE TO OR ARISE OUT OF THE SAME OR SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME TRANSACTION(S) OR OCCURRENCE(S). CONSOLIDATION MEANS THAT ANY AND ALL SEPARATELY INITIATED ARBITRATIONS THAT RELATE TO OR ARISE OUT OF THE SAME OR SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME TRANSACTION(S) OR OCCURRENCE(S) ARE ALL HEARD BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION. IF EITHER PARTY REQUESTS CONSOLIDATION OF MULTIPLE ARBITRATIONS, THEN THE PARTIES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CASE(S) WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THEIR RIGHT TO DESIGNATE AN ARBITRATOR AS WELL AS ANY CONTRACTUAL PROVISION WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE OF THE ARBITRATION. THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN REQUESTING A CONSOLIDATION OF ARBITRATIONS:

  • The arbitrations have a common question of law or fact;

  • The issues in the multiple arbitrations are largely identical;

  • There are common claims, disputes, defenses, and relationships between or among the parties in the different arbitrations;

  • One or more parties is named in multiple pending arbitrations;

  • Consolidation will save time and resources; and

  • One party will be seriously prejudiced by having multiple arbitrations heard separately.

By agreeing to these terms, you are waiving your right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action. We are also waiving these rights.

Exclusions from Arbitration

Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' agreement to resolve Disputes through arbitration, either party may (1) bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to misuse, infringement, or misappropriation of intellectual property theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights); and/or (2) seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
