Accordingly, eRounds does not accept unsolicited materials or ideas, and takes no responsibility for any materials or ideas so transmitted. If, despite our policy, or during the Alpha and Beta release of the product, you choose to send us content, information, ideas, suggestions, or other materials, you further agree that eRounds is free to use any such content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials, for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing and marketing products and services, without any liability or payment of any kind to you.

You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Service or your use of our Service requires that such claim be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration except that, to the extent that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate eRounds’s intellectual property rights, eRounds may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A., in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as then in effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. Except for punitive and consequential damages (which may not be awarded), and subject to these Terms of Service, the arbitrators shall be authorized to award either party any provisional or equitable remedy permitted by applicable law.
BECAUSE THE USE OF OUR SERVICE REQUIRES THE ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES EXISTING BETWEEN THE PARTIES, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

The award of the arbitrators may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereby consents (i) to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Nashville, Tennessee for any action (A) to compel arbitration, (B) to enforce any award of the arbitrators, or (C) at any time prior to the qualification and appointment of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim or provisional equitable remedies, and (ii) to service of process in any such action by registered mail or any other means provided by law. Should this Article X be deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, it shall be severed and the parties agree that sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in the state or federal courts in Nashville, Tennessee.
The application of these provisions, disclosures, and disclaimers and all other matters arising from your use of our Service or of any information you obtain from us shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Tennessee without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.

XI.
MISCELLANOUS
If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties nevertheless agree that such provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. eRounds’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Service will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms of Service will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. eRounds reserves the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with eRounds.
You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with eRounds must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of that legal entity. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and eRounds and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and eRounds. You will not assign these Terms of Service or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of eRounds. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of eRounds will be null and void. eRounds may assign these Terms of Service or any rights hereunder without your consent. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms of Service. These Terms of Service do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights.
We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Service or any portion of the Service, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service or other feature that eRounds provides.
