or for the purpose of avoiding, any claim or demand from a third party that relates to your use of
the Services, your breach of this Agreement, the use of the Services by any person using your
computer, device, or Account, if applicable, and/or your violation of any applicable law or
regulation. Your indemnification obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

between you and eQ.
YOU AND eQ HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENT to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for any litigation that is
not resolved through the arbitration procedures described below and which arises out of or is
related to this Agreement, the use of our Services, or any goods referenced or offerings provided
through the Services.
YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE to waive any objection to the
venue of any such litigation in Pennsylvania courts, and not to plead or claim in any Pennsylvania
court that such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND eQ AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING
CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN
ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
YOU AND eQ FURTHER AGREE to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy, including
all statutory claims and any state or federal claims, that may arise out of or relate to this
Agreement through final and binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will take place before a panel of three
arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the arbitration, each party will
designate in writing a single neutral and independent arbitrator. The two arbitrators designated by
the parties will then select a third arbitrator. The arbitrators will have an appropriate background
in the same or related industries to reasonably prepare them to decide a dispute related to the
Services provided under this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the
rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association and the terms of this section. The
arbitrators will have the authority to permit limited discovery, including depositions, prior to the
arbitration hearing, and such discovery will be conducted consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. The arbitrators will have no power or authority to award punitive or exemplary damages.
The arbitrators may, in their discretion, award the cost of the arbitration, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, to the prevailing party. Any award made may be confirmed in any court having
jurisdiction. Any arbitration will be confidential, and except as required by law, neither party may
disclose the content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of
the other party, except that disclosure is permitted to a party’s auditors and legal advisers. By
agreeing to arbitration, you and eQ understand and agree to waive any rights to maintain other
available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle any
disputes.
eQ does not represent that any content available through the Services is completely accurate, and
therefore any reliance on such content is done at your own risk. ANY RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION,
OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
eQ does not guarantee or promise that any information, opinions or recommendations available through
the Services will be helpful or reliable. YOU AGREE THAT eQ IS NOT LIABLE to you or anyone else for
any harm that might arise as a result of using any of the Services or implementing in any manner any
of the information, opinions or recommendations made available through the Services.
eQ is not responsible for any harm or damages of any kind that may occur to you due to any glitches,
hacks, breaches, or any other unauthorized access to eQ’s computer or network systems that may or
may not result in the disclosure of Personal Information you provided to us.
eQ’s failure to enforce any portion of this Agreement is not a waiver of such portion.
The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities,
limitations of liability, and any other relevant language that is meant to remain in effect after
this Agreement ends shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Certain software elements of the Services may be subject to U.S. export laws and controls. No
software may be downloaded or exported to any country or foreign citizen that is under a U.S.
embargo or that would otherwise violate U.S. law or regulations.
Unless otherwise noted, this Agreement, together with our Privacy Policy and any other terms and
conditions that appear elsewhere on or through the Services, constitute the entire Agreement of the
parties with respect to the Services and supersede all other communications, promises and proposals,
whether oral, written, or electronic, between you and eQ with respect to the Services.
If any portion of this Agreement is deemed to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of the
Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue to be fully valid, binding, and enforceable to the
extent permitted by law.
