Any request by for a higher limit shall be given to KATANA Safety in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested.

To the full extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless KATANA Safety, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and any of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, employees, agents, licensors or service providers from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting in any way from your use of the Site or the Services, your communication, placement or transmission of any message, content, information or other materials on or through the Site, your breach or violation of the law, your violation of any third party right or your violation of these Terms, or of any activity otherwise related to your use of the Site or the Services (including negligent or wrongful conduct), by you or any other person accessing the Site or Services using an account registered to you.

The foregoing shall not preclude KATANA Safety from seeking any injunctive or other equitable relief in courts of competent jurisdiction located in other countries and jurisdictions for protection of any KATANA Safety confidential information and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to its servers. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect.

DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
3. Except as otherwise stated below, any claim or dispute, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the claim or dispute), between you and us or our employees, agents, successors or assigns, which arises out of or relates to these Terms, the Services, or the use of any information through the Services shall, at your or our election, be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration and not by a court action. If multiple claims are joined in one action, some of which would not be subject to arbitration by operation of law, the latter claims must be stayed until any claims that are subject to arbitration have been resolved. If claims are asserted against multiple parties, some of whom are not required to arbitrate, the claims subject to arbitration must be severed. The claim or dispute is to be arbitrated by a single arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a class action. Arbitrations will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Ave., Floor 10, New York, NY 10017-4605 (www.adr.org). You may get a copy of the rules by contacting the arbitration organization or visiting its website.
4. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law in making an award. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in Greenville County South Carolina. We will advance your filing, administration, service or case management fee and your arbitrator or hearing fee all up to a maximum of $2,500, which may be reimbursed by decision of the arbitrator at the arbitrator’s discretion. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. If the chosen arbitration organization’s rules conflict with this clause, then the provisions of this clause shall control. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except that in the event the arbitrator’s award for a party is $0 or against a party is in excess of $100,000, or includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, that party may request a new arbitration under the rules of the arbitration organization by a three-arbitrator panel. The appealing party requesting new arbitration shall be responsible for their filing fee and other arbitration costs subject to a final determination by the arbitrators of a fair apportionment of costs. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Clause shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration.
5. You and we retain any rights to self-help remedies and any rights to seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property rights. You and we retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Neither you nor we waive the right to arbitrate by using self-help remedies or filing suit. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. This clause shall survive any termination, cancellation, suspension, expiration or assignment of these Terms. If any part of this Arbitration Clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this arbitration clause shall be unenforceable.
6. Notwithstanding any other provision of this arbitration clause, the validity and scope of the waiver of class action rights shall be decided by the court and not by the arbitrator. To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you must file any claim, cause of action, or arbitration request arising out of or related to the Services or these Terms within one (1) year after the events giving rise to such claim, cause of action, or request, or you shall be forever barred from filing such claim, cause of action, or request. If you do not agree to the arbitration clause in these Terms, you may opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notification to KATANA Safety prior to using the Services.
