Severability. Any provision of these Terms and Conditions which is found to be invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions.

 

Entire Agreement. This Terms and Conditions document constitutes the entire agreement between You and GIS governing the sale of Services or Equipment and supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements, understandings, and negotiations between or with the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

General Interpretive Principles. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. Unless the context in which used herein otherwise

clearly requires, the word “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”. Each reference to a neuter, masculine or feminine pronoun shall be deemed to include reference to each other type of pronoun, in each case as the context may permit or require. Each reference to GIS’s “discretion”, “sole discretion” or “discretionary” shall mean GIS’s “sole and absolute discretion” unless otherwise specified. The term “satisfactory to GIS” or “satisfaction of GIS” or “satisfactory to counsel” or “satisfaction of counsel” or other similar terms means satisfactory to GIS or its counsel in their sole and absolute discretion. “Person” means an individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association, trust, unincorporated organization, or a government or agency or political subdivision thereof. Defined terms include in the singular number the plural and in the plural number the singular. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended, modified, restated or replaced from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof (and, if applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof), except where otherwise explicitly provided. Reference to any law, rule, regulation, order, decree, requirement, policy, guideline, directive or interpretation means as the same may be amended, modified, codified, replaced or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect on the determination date, including rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration: GIS will attempt to settle any claim or controversy with You by consultation or negotiation in good faith. Nevertheless, either GIS or You may at any time notify the other in writing of its election to arbitrate such dispute in accordance with this Agreement. In the event a party elects arbitration, GIS and You agree that all disputes between them (and any of their respective officers, employees, agents, representatives and owners) relating to any Service or Equipment or these Terms and Conditions shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in Cobb County or Fulton County, Georgia by a single arbitrator appointed by Henning Mediation and Arbitration Service Inc. and in accordance with its arbitration rules, and judgment on the arbitration award may be rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party to such proceeding shall share on an equal basis the expense of the arbitrator’s fees and the arbitration fees charged by Henning Mediation and Arbitration Service Inc. In the event Henning Mediation and Arbitration Service Inc. cannot arbitrate the dispute, then the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) shall arbitrate the dispute at a location in Cobb County or Fulton County, Georgia selected by the AAA under the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing, GIS and You may proceed in a court for the purpose of seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.

 

Jurisdiction; Venue. Without limiting the arbitration clause above, You irrevocably consent that any legal action or proceeding against You or GIS (and any of their respective officers, employees, agents, representatives and owners) may bring relating to the sale of any Service or Equipment or these Terms and Conditions shall only be brought in any state court of the State of Georgia located in Cobb County, or the Federal Court for the Northern District of Georgia. You and GIS expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of any of such courts in any such action or proceeding. You hereby expressly and irrevocably waive any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding based on any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens or any similar basis. Neither You nor GIS shall be entitled in any such action or proceeding to assert any defense given or allowed under the laws of any state other than the State of Georgia, unless such defense is also given or allowed by the laws of the State of Georgia.

 

Waiver of Jury Trial. Without limiting the arbitration clause above, You and GIS each hereby waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding relating to the sale of any Service or Equipment or these Terms and Conditions, and any agreement, instrument or document now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

 

Service of Process. You and GIS irrevocably consent to the service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to such action or proceeding by overnight or other air express delivery or registered mail to such party in the manner provided for notices in these Terms and Conditions.

Nevertheless, either party may serve the other in any other matter permitted by applicable law.

 

 Attorney’s Fees. You and GIS shall each be liable for, and responsible to pay, its own attorney’s fees and other fees, costs, and expenses incurred by such party in connection with any dispute relating to the sale of any Service or Equipment or these Terms and Conditions, including in any arbitration or other legal proceeding.

 

Waiver of Statute of Limitations. You and GIS agree that regardless of any time period that would be allowed to assert any claim, cause of action or defense against each other relating to the sale of any Service or Equipment or these Terms and Conditions, such claims must be filed within one (1) year after the date such claim, cause of action or defense arose or will be forever barred.

 

Waiver of Damages. You and GIS each agree that in any dispute between them, neither will seek or collect, and each hereby waives, any claim to consequential, indirect, special, incidental, punitive or exemplary damages, or any damages for lost profits, lost revenues, lost savings, lost business opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of data or any type of intangible loss. This limitation on liability applies regardless of what type of claim is asserted; whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict

liability, violation of law or regulation, or any other theory of recovery.

 

Damages Cap. You agree that in any dispute between You and GIS, in no event will GIS be liable for an amount that exceeds

 

  • the amount paid by You to GIS in the six (6) months preceding the date You give GIS written notice of Your complaint or GIS’ alleged breach, or

 

  • one hundred U.S. dollars ($100), whichever is greater.

 

Billing Errors. If a billing error occurs that relates to a Service, refunds by GIS are limited to one (1) month’s fees for that Service.

 

Successors and Assigns. These Terms and Conditions are binding upon You and GIS and their respective successors and assigns.

 

No Setoff. You agree not to set off against amounts You owe GIS, any amounts that GIS owes to You. All payments charged by GIS must be made without setoff of any type.
