You expressly agree that use of this website, including all content, data or software distributed by, downloaded or accessed from or through this website, is at your sole risk. You understand and agree that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your business, your computer system or loss of data that results from your connection to this website or the download of content, data and/or software from this website.

Limitation Of Liability
You agree and acknowledge that American Registry's liability to you is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Accordingly, under no circumstances including, without limitation, its own negligence, shall American Registry or its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, officers, employees, directors, agents, suppliers, or any other party involved in creating, producing or distributing American Registry plaques or related products or services be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if American Registry has been advised of the possibility of such damages). This limitation includes and applies to your loss or damages of any kind, including those resulting from: (1) the content or information contained in any plaque or other product offered or sold by American Registry; (2) the location, manner or method that an American Registry plaque or other product is displayed or used by you or by a third party; (3) the use or inability to use this website; (4) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from this website or American Registry; (5) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (6) statements or conduct of any third party on this website or (7) any other matter relating to this website. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Dispute Resolution
You agree that the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict or choice of laws provisions, govern any disputes that may arise between you and American Registry (including its employees, officers, directors, agents, parents, subsidiaries or affiliates) relating in any way to (1) your use of this website or (2) plaques or other products that you personalize, order or purchase through this website or through American Registry.
You also agree that any such disputes shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in New York City, New York and that rules of the American Arbitration Association shall govern the arbitrations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this User Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this User Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
You also agree that before submitting any such dispute to arbitration, the aggrieved party will first attempt to resolve the dispute by mediation, with the costs of the mediation to be split evenly between you and American Registry (or, as applicable, any parents, subsidiaries or affiliates of American Registry). To that end, you agree that you are prohibited from commencing or otherwise submitting any such dispute to arbitration against American Registry (or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries or affiliates) until you propose in writing to American Registry or its designated attorney the name of at least one available neutral mediator in New York City, New York and agree to share evenly in the costs of the mediation and thereafter, American Registry has either refused in writing to engage in the mediation or 45 days have elapsed without American Registry agreeing to engage in the mediation.
Severability
If any provision of this User Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, such provision shall be deemed amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision and the remaining provisions of this User Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired.
