USLOOT is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any third party websites or services with which the USLOOT Platform communicates or is linked.

The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any part of this Agreement shall not render invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remainder of this Agreement.

Any claim or dispute, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise (including the interpretation and scope of this Arbitration provision, and the arbitrability of the claim or dispute), between you and USLOOT or our employees, agents, successors or assigns, which arises out of or relates to the USLOOT Platform, including any use thereof, this Agreement or any resulting transaction or relationship (including any such relationship with third parties who do not sign this contract) shall, at your or USLOOT’s election, be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration and not by a court action, regardless of the value of the claim. “Arbitration” refers to a process in which parties submit disputes to a neutral third person or persons for a decision on the merits, rather than submitting claims through courts or a formal judicial process. If federal law provides that a claim or dispute is not subject to binding arbitration, this Arbitration provision shall not apply to such claim or dispute. Any claim or dispute is to be arbitrated by a single arbitrator. Your claim or claims are to be arbitrated on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a class action. The Party seeking arbitration may choose to arbitrate pursuant to rules of the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org), JAMS (www.jamsadr.org), to conduct the arbitration except to the extent that such rules (e.g. minimum limits for arbitration, etc.) conflict with this provision, including imposing limits on the minimum amount in controversy. You may get a copy of the rules of an arbitration organization by contacting the organization or visiting its website. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law and the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in Charleston County, South Carolina. 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 Arbitration agreement, then the provisions of this Arbitration agreement shall control. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Any award by the arbitrator shall be in writing and will be final and binding on all parties, subject to any limited right to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.

If either Party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in, or prevented from, the performance of any act required hereunder for any reason beyond such Party's reasonable control, including but not limited to, strike, lockouts, labor troubles, governmental or judicial actions or orders, riots, insurrections, war, acts of God, inclement weather, or other reason beyond the Party's control (a "Force Majeure Event") then such Party's performance shall be excused for the period of the disability. The Party affected by the Force Majeure Event shall notify the other Party of such Force Majeure Event as provided for herein.
