THE PLATFORM AND ALL OTHER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, USEFULNESS, SECURITY OR CONTENT OF THE PLATFORM OR OTHER SERVICES, OR ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Accordingly, Express Evaluations cannot and does not guarantee the privacy, security or authenticity of any information so transmitted over or stored in any system connected to the internet.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION - BINDING ARBITRATION
Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 90 days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration. If you and Express Evaluations are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAAs Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Utah. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Utah, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one year after the cause of action arose. It this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal Jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions. The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. It this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
14. CLASS-ACTION WAIVER AND JURY WAIVER
By using the Services in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration agreement. In doing so, YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend any claims between you and the Company. YOU ALSO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, and the arbitrator shall determine all issues regarding the arbitrability of the dispute. You are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but you understand that arbitration proceedings are different from trials and other judicial proceedings, and that decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
15. GOVERNING LAW, STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, AND RELIEF
Utah law and the Federal Arbitration Act will apply if there is a dispute (except where prohibited by law). Except where this arbitration agreement is prohibited by law, the laws of the State of Utah, excluding Utah’s conflict of laws rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitration Agreement in Section 12 above shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
You agree that, notwithstanding any statute, law, or regulation to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Services or the Terms must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
You acknowledge that your violation of the Terms will cause irreparable injury to Express Evaluations and that Express Evaluations will therefore be entitled, but not required, to seek equitable relief without posting bond or other security in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law.
16. VENUE
Any claims that are not submitted to arbitration for any reason must be litigated in Utah (except where prohibited by law). All claims arising out of or relating to the Terms, to the Services, or to your relationship with Company that for whatever reason are not submitted to arbitration will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Utah, U.S.A. You and Company consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of courts in the State of Utah and waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.
17. SEVERABILITY
In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction for the matter in question, the enforceability of the remaining provisions shall be unimpaired.
18. WAIVER
The failure of either party at any time to enforce any right or remedy available to it under the Terms with respect to any breach or failure by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such right or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party.
19. COMPLAINTS
If you have any complaint regarding the Services, you may contact us at the address or email provided below. If you are a resident of the State of California, you may, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Service of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
20. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS
The Services, or portion thereof, may be subject to Export Administration Regulations or other export control laws. You therefore agree that you will not export, transfer, or disclose in any way, any portion of the Services, directly or indirectly, in violation of applicable export laws or regulations.

You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the services, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SERVICES. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.
23. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement supersedes any previous agreements or representations. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy, and Business Services Agreement when applicable, contain the entire agreement between you and Express Evaluations regarding the use of our Services. These Terms supersede all previous agreements, representations, and arrangements between us, written or oral. If any provision of the Terms is held invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that your Express Evaluations account and access to the Services are non-transferable and all of your rights to your account, its content, and any other access link or permissions terminate upon your death, unless otherwise provided by law. Any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction. No agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary or other special relationship or employment is created as a result of the Terms, and you may not make any representations on behalf of or bind Express Evaluations in any manner.
