Your use of our Services is at your sole risk. Our Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, itness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LegalEdge and the other LegalEdge Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability— whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if Legal Edge or the other Legal Edge Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
The total liability of Legal Edge and the other LegalEdge Parties, for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of the amount paid, if any, by you to access or use our Services, or, if you have not paid any amounts for the use of any Services, the amount of $1,000.

Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
-
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with LegalEdge and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
-
Except for small claims disputes in which you or LegalEdge seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or LegalEdge seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and LegalEdge waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through conidential binding arbitration held in the county in which the party to whom the action is brought against is located in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
-
You and LegalEdge agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, or our Services is personal to you and LegalEdge and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
-
You and LegalEdge agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce, and that the enforceability of this Binding Arbitration Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, reside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and SoloSuit agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the iling fee and Legal Edge will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by LegalEdge, LegalEdge will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and LegalEdge agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in Los Angeles have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
-
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms, or our Services must be iled within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Legal Edge will not have the right to assert the claim.
-
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you irst accepted the terms of this Binding Arbitration Section by emailing support@legaledgedebtsolutions.com. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with the Governing Law and Venue section.

that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Los Angeles.
