b. No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Aliya as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Site or Services.
c. Dispute Resolution.If you believe in good faith that any material posted on the Site or Service infringes any of your rights other than in copyright, or is otherwise unlawful, you are required by this agreement and as a condition precedent to suit to send a notice to support@aliya.com, containing the following information:
d. LIMITATIONS PERIOD. YOU AND ALIYA AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SITE OR THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
e. Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Please read this subsection 16.e (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with Aliya and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
iii. Arbitration Rules and Forum.The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent at AFT Analytics, Inc. 200 Vesey Street, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10281. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider.

ii. IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH ALIYA, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST ALIYA ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST THE ALIYA PARTIES IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
iv. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute, including disputes related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable or unenforceable or nonbinding. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Aliya Parties. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
v. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND ALIYA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Aliya are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in subsection 16.e.i above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
vi. Waiver of Class and Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLAIMS IN COURTS AND ARBITRATIONS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND CLAIMS OF ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection 16.d.vi’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then the applicable claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought on an individual basis in the state or federal courts in New York County, New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, for purposes of resolving any claims for relief that are severed from an arbitration in accordance with this subsection and waive any argument that holding proceedings in such courts will impose undue hardship or materially affect their ability to present their case.
vii.30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: AFT Analytics, Inc., 200 Vesey Street, New York, New York 10281 or email contact@aliya.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must be dated and include your name and address, your email address, the date you accessed the website and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
viii.Severability. Except as provided in subsection 16.e.vi, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
ix. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement or your relationship with Aliya.
x. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Aliya makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) for which you had already provided notice to Aliya.
f. Governing Law. This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of New York, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

You may not use, export, import, or transfer any Services or Aliya materials except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Aliya materials, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Aliya materials may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Person’s List or Entity List.

You also will not use the Aliya materials for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law. You acknowledge and agree that services or technology provided by Aliya are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States. You shall comply with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer Aliya services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations.
h. Release. You hereby release the Aliya Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from your use of the Site and/or Services, including but not limited to, any interactions with or conduct of other Users or third-party websites or applications of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Site and/or Services. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
i. Force Majeure. Aliya shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE OR OUR LICENSORS BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM ACTS OF NATURE, FORCES, OR CAUSES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INTERNET FAILURES, COMPUTER EQUIPMENT FAILURES, TELECOMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT FAILURES, OTHER EQUIPMENT FAILURES, ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURES, STRIKES, LABOR DISPUTES, RIOTS, INSURRECTIONS, CIVIL DISTURBANCES, SHORTAGES OF LABOR OR MATERIALS, FIRES, FLOODS, STORMS, EXPLOSIONS, ACTS OF GOD, WAR, GOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS, ORDERS OF DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN COURTS OR TRIBUNALS, OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIRD PARTIES.
j. Compliance. If you believe that Aliya has not adhered to this Agreement, please contact Aliya by emailing us at contact@aliya.com. We will do our best to address your concerns. If you feel that your complaint has been addressed incompletely, we invite you to let us know for further investigation.

In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Aliya is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required or permitted by this Agreement, Aliya’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice.
l.Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
m. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
n. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that Aliya would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
o. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
p. Survival. The following sections shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: 5 (Ownership); 8 (Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability); 9 (Indemnification); 11 (Electronic Communications); 14 (Enforcement and Termination); and 16 (General).
