GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTIONS; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Governing Law
This Agreement (and any further rules, policies or guidelines incorporated by reference herein) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the United States and the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, regardless of your country of origin or location where you access the Site or the Service. For the purpose of any judicial proceeding to enforce such award or incidental to such arbitration or to compel arbitration, or if for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts sitting in New York County, New York, and agree that service of process in such arbitration or court proceedings shall be satisfactorily made upon it if sent by certified, express or registered mail addressed to it at the address set forth in the books and records of IPP, or if no such address has been provided, by email to the email address provided by the relevant parties to IPP in connection with their use of the Service. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.
Dispute Resolution/Arbitration
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by you and IPP, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the breach hereof, shall be finally and exclusively resolved by confidential, binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in New York County, New York. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. If parties are unable to select an arbitrator then AAA shall select the arbitrator. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of the AAA in New York County, New York, and that the AAA in New York, New York is the sole venue for any dispute. Judgment on any award entered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. User agrees that it may bring claims against IPP only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. No claims against IPP may be joined with any other claimant.
Exclusive Process
You acknowledge that the arbitrator(s), and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to interpret the scope of this clause, and whether the controversy, claim or dispute can be arbitrated.
Injunctive ReliefYou acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm IPP and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone. As such, we shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).
REGISTRATION DATA; ACCOUNT SECURITY
In consideration of your use of the Site, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms on the Site ("Registration Data"); (b) maintain the security of your password and identification; (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information that you provide to IPP, to keep it accurate, current and complete; and (d) accept all risks of unauthorized access to the Registration Data and any other information you provide to IPP.
PRIVACY AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
IPP values your privacy. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn more about how we collect and use information about you through your use of the Site and the Service and from publicly available sources.
IPP may collect and collate a variety of information regarding the use of the Site and the Service. IPP is the sole owner of all such information it collects. By using the Service you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by IPP.
By providing us with Personal Data (as defined in the Privacy Policy), you give us permission to share such Personal Data with other companies who present an investment opportunity, or who offer products and services that we believe may be of interest to you, and to send you communications about such companies, investment opportunities, products and services, whether they be investment opportunities or other types of products and services. However, to the extent required by law, you will be given the opportunity to opt-out of such sharing and such communications.
IPP takes the security of your information serious. Although we make good faith efforts to store any non-public information uploaded to the Site and the Service or collected by IPP in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, we cannot guarantee complete security. We cannot and do not guarantee that our security measures will prevent third party "hackers" from accessing our site without authorization or illegally and obtaining access to User Content or information thereon. IPP is not liable for any losses, costs or damages relating to another party accessing and using information about you stored by, or on behalf of, IPP.
IPP reserves the right to reveal your identity (and whatever other information we possess about you) in the event of a complaint, subpoena, warrant, court order or legal action. IPP may log all internet protocol addresses accessing the Site and the Service and other information about users' access, and maintain backup copies of content indefinitely and disclose that information to law enforcement authorities as required.
MISCELLANEOUS
Amendments
We may amend this agreement at any time in our sole discretion, effective upon posting the amended Agreement at the domain of www.investorportalpro.com where the prior version of this agreement was posted, or by communicating these changes through any written contact method we have established with you. Your use of the Site or Services following the date on which such amended Agreement is published will constitute consent to and acceptable of such amendments and such revised Agreement will govern our entire relationship, including your prior use of the Site and the Service.
Waiver/Severability
The failure of IPP to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of this agreement or to exercise any right under this agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of IPP’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. In fact, IPP may choose to enforce certain portions of this agreement more strictly or to interpret certain provisions more strictly against certain users than it does against users in general, and such disparate treatment shall not be grounds for failing to comply with all this agreement as so interpreted. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
