By accessing and using the Site, you agree to each of the terms and conditions set forth herein, along with the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy (collectively referred to herein as the these "Terms of Use").

These Terms of Use incorporate by reference all such additional terms and conditions.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully, as they contain important information about limitations of liability and resolution of disputes through arbitration rather than court.

Your use of the Site following any such modification constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms of Use as modified. The last date these Terms of Use were revised is set forth above.

If you are dissatisfied with the Site or the Content, or any tool, service, or product offered on the Site, or these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Site.

Limitation of Liability

IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ONE OR MORE OTHER USERS OF THE SITE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN USERS REGARDING ANY TRANSACTION OR USER-CONTRIBUTED CONTENT) OR ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER OR ANY THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE THAT MAY BE LINKED TO OR FROM OR OTHERWISE INTERACT WITH THE SITE, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE, REMISE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE DATACENTERS.COM, AND EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, LICENSORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND THIRD-PARTY REPRESENTATIVES, FROM ANY AND ALL MANNER OF RIGHTS, CLAIMS, COMPLAINTS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, PROCEEDINGS, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LEGAL FEES, COSTS, AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH NOW OR HEREAFTER ARISE FROM, RELATE TO, OR ARE CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTE AND/OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

You understand and agree that you are personally responsible for your behavior on the Site. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Datacenters.com, its affiliates, partners, licensors, employees, agents, and third-party representatives from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages, and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from or arising out of your use, misuse, or inability to use the Site or the Content, or any tool, service, or product offered on the Site, or any violation by you of these Terms of Use.

Disputes; Arbitration

We are committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. But if we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims only as explained in this section and subject to the limitations provided in these Terms of Use. You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims relating in any way to the Site or the Content, or any tool, service, or product offered on the Site, any representations made by us, or our Privacy Policy (referred to herein, collectively, as "Claims") by contacting us at info@datacenters.com. If we are not able to resolve your Claims in a timely fashion (and in no event outside of 90 days), you may seek relief through arbitration as set forth below.

Any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. This includes any Claims you assert against us or any of our affiliates (which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms of Use, regardless of whether prior versions of these Terms of Use required arbitration.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys' fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Terms of Use as a court would.

Arbitrations will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA Arbitration Consumer Rules (together, the "AAA Rules"). Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.

By agreeing to arbitration under the AAA Rules, the parties agree, among other things, that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive power to rule on any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim.

Prior to beginning an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter describing your Claims to "Datacenters.com Legal: Arbitration Claim" at our principal office address then-listed on the Site. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. The AAA's rules and filing instructions are available at www.adr.org.

Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction.
