To the extent permissible under applicable laws, in no event shall Viticast, or its subsidiaries or any of their shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees or licensors be liable (jointly or severally) to you for (1) personal injury or any special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages of any kind, or any damages whatsoever, or (2) any loss of use, data, business, or profits arising from the inability to use the Viticast service.

8.3 Time for Filing

Your sole and exclusive remedy for any problems or dissatisfaction with the Viticast service is to uninstall any Viticast software and discontinue use of the Viticast service. Any claim against Viticast must commence within one (1) year after the party asserting the claim first knows of the claim, by filing a demand for arbitration under section 9.2 or filing an individual action under section 9.4.

  1. Arbitration Agreement

9.1 Dispute Resolution

You and Viticast agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Viticast shall be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and Viticast agree that the arbitrator has exclusive power to rule of their own jurisdiction. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Viticast are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms of Use. 

9.2 Notice and Process

You and Viticast agree to attempt to settle any dispute informally for 60 days before seeking arbitration or court proceedings. If, after good faith attempts from both parties, a resolution is not agreed upon, either you or Viticast may start arbitration proceedings. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event no physical address is on file, by electronic mail (“Notice”).

Viticast’s address for Notice is: 1076 South 2200 West, Syracuse, Utah, United States of America 84075.

The Notice must include (1) the nature and basis of the dispute or claim, and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If no resolution of the claim is agreed upon within 30 days of receipt of the Notice, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding.

9.3 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the clause above (10.2), you and Viticast agree that nothing in the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to preclude, waive, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court.

9.4 Class Action Waiver

You and viticast agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, nor may they award relief to any other party except the individual seeking relief, and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim, and only that claim, must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought into court.

9.5 Legal Fee Waiver

If you seek arbitration or file a small court claim, in no event shall Viticast be responsible for any fees incurred to you, including but not limited to, legal counsel, legal fees, or any other costs arising from this dispute in any form.

  1. Miscellaneous

10.1 Governing Law / Jurisdiction

The Agreements are subject to the laws of the state of Utah, United States of America, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.

10.2 Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes all the terms and conditions agreed upon by you and Viticast, and supersede any prior agreements, whether written or oral. Any additional agreements, such as access to the Viticast service through codes or promotions, are governed by those agreements. If there are conflicting terms, the terms of the additional agreement will prevail.

10.3 Severability

Should any provision of this Agreement be deemed unenforceable for any reason or extent, such invalidity does extend or render invalid the remaining provisions of the Agreement.

10.4 Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Viticast harmless from and against all damages, osses, and expenses of any kind, including attorney fees and costs, arising out of or related to (1) your breach of any agreement, (2) your activity on or through the Viticast service, or (3) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
