Limitation of Liability

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, NEBO LAW AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSEES AND WEB HOSTING SERVICES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR USE, INCURRED BY YOU, WHETHER UNDER THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO USE OF THIS SITE OR THE TERMS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

 OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED U.S. $10.00. THE EXISTENCE OF ONE OR MORE CLAIMS BY YOU WILL NOT INCREASE OUR LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO OUR PRODUCTS, INFORMATION OR SERVICES.

 Certain states do not allow limitations of liability for incidental, consequential or certain other types of damages; as such, the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Section may not apply to you.

Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, Consent To Jurisdiction In Georgia And Attorney's Fees

 This Section applies to any Dispute except for Disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights. The term "Dispute" means any dispute, action, or other controversy between you and us concerning these Terms (including any policies or supplements incorporated) or any product, service, or information we make available to you, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "Dispute" will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law. In the event of a Dispute, you or we must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to 37 Church St., Ste. 2800, Waynesville, NC 28786. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you by U.S. Mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address. You and we will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, either you or we may commence arbitration.

 If you and we do not resolve any Dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the Dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this Section. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator‘s award.

 Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor we will seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. If this waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then it won't apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration.

 Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. You and we each agree to commence arbitration only in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules. These Terms govern to the extent they conflict with the AAA‘s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator may award compensatory damages up to a maximum of $10.00 or the amount you have paid us for any products or services purchased, excluding legal services which are specifically excluded, through the Website, but shall NOT be authorized to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, or pain and suffering or punitive or indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Each party shall bear its own attorneys‘ fees, cost and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrator and AAA; however, the arbitrator may award to the prevailing party reimbursement of its reasonable attorneys‘ fees and costs (including, for example, expert witness fees and travel expenses), and/or the fees and costs of the arbitrator. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a written award and a written statement of decision describing the material factual findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, you understand that you are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a claim or Dispute were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this arbitration provision, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, the right bring a claim as a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and the right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.

 Claims or Disputes must be filed within one (1) year. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or Dispute under these Terms must be filed within one (1) year from the date of the cause of action. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one (1) year, it will be permanently barred.

 Equitable Relief. You agree that we would be irreparably damaged if these Terms (including any policies or supplements incorporated herein) were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy we may have at law, and notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate Disputes, we are entitled without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to seek appropriate equitable remedies with respect to your violation of these Terms in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 Jurisdiction and Forum. You agree that any arbitration as described in the proceeding sections shall be held in the courts of competent jurisdiction sitting within Fulton County, Georgia (the "Forum"), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Refund Policy

Due to the nature of the information being provided, there are absolutely no refunds unless stated otherwise.

Miscellaneous Provisions

If any provision(s) of the Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable. In addition, in such event the unenforceable or invalid provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to (i) render it valid and enforceable and (ii) give the fullest effect possible to the original intent of the provision.

The Terms may not be assigned by you without the Law Office of Martha Sharpe Bradley, PLLC’s prior written consent, however, the Terms may be assigned by the Law Office of Martha Sharpe Bradley, PLLC in its sole discretion.

 The Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the Website offered by, and the products and services sold by the Law Office of Martha Sharpe Bradley, PLLC.

 The failure of the Law Office of Martha Sharpe Bradley, PLLC to exercise or enforce any right or provision hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of the Terms by the Law Office of Martha Sharpe Bradley, PLLC must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Law Office of Martha Sharpe Bradley, PLLC.
