Warranty Disclaimer
EXCEPT FOR ANY GUARANTEES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, AQUA, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND
THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE “AQUA
PARTIES”) HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE
WEBSITE, THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE PRODUCTS, AND PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE
PRODUCTS), OR THE CONTENT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF TITLE,
MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTIES’ RIGHTS, AND FITNESS FOR
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE WEBSITE, THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE PRODUCTS, AND PURCHASE
AND SALE OF THE PRODUCTS) AND THE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Limitation of Liability
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY WARRANTY, CONTRACT, OR COMMON LAW TORT CLAIMS ARISING OUT
OF THE ALLEGED ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE AQUA PARTIES: (I) THE AQUA PARTIES,
OR ANY OF THEM, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST
PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION RESULTING FROM YOUR USE
OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE, THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT, THE PRODUCTS OR YOUR
PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITE, EVEN IF THE AQUA PARTIES HAVE
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (II) ANY DIRECT DAMAGES THAT YOU
MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT, THE
PRODUCTS OR YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITE SHALL BE
LIMITED TO THE MONIES YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN CONNECTION WITH THE SAME DURING THE THREE
(3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SINCE SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
ON WARRANTIES MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND SUCH WARRANTIES SHALL BE AMENDED TO BE AS
BROAD AS POSSIBLE UNDER THE EXISTING LAW IN SUCH STATES.
Agreement to Arbitrate
In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to these Terms, the Website, the Services, the Products or the
Content, including any claim based on a federal or state statute (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to
finally and exclusively resolve the Dispute by binding arbitration. The arbitrator shall determine the rules of the
arbitration with express instructions to define rules that are most expeditious and cost-effective for the Parties.
If a mutually agreeable arbitrator cannot be determined by the Parties, each Party shall individually nominate an
arbitrator and both nominated arbitrators shall determine an adequate arbitrator. Any decision by the arbitrator
may be reduced to judgment in a competent jurisdiction. This section shall in no way limit the Parties’ right to
injunctive relief. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE A JURY TRIAL IN ANY DISPUTE OR LITIGATION WITH
RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT. The prevailing party in any Dispute may be awarded its reasonable attorney’s
fees and costs.
Exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Either party may bring a claim in a small claims court located in the
United States county where you live, if the claim is permitted by such court’s rules and is within such court’s
jurisdiction. Moreover, either party may bring a lawsuit in court solely for injunctive relief to: (i) stop the
unauthorized use or abuse of the Services; (ii) stop intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark,
trade secret, copyright, or patent rights), or (iii) protect proprietary interests. The parties agree that an actual or
threatened violation of intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information will cause
irreparable harm and that remedies at law would be inadequate to redress any actual or threatened violation
thereof.
Judicial Forum for Disputes. In the event that this Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your
claim, you and Aqua agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in a
federal or state court located in Boulder County, Colorado. Both you and Aqua consent to venue and personal
jurisdiction there.
Miscellaneous

of law provisions. You acknowledge that your access to the Website, the Services and/or the Content constitutes
a volitional action within the State of Colorado, and you expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Colorado.
The failure of Aqua to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such
right or provision.
In addition to any provision regarding termination and your license grant to Aqua for the User Generated Content,
the following provisions shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms: “Intellectual Property Rights,”
“Warranty Disclaimer,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Indemnification,” and “Miscellaneous.”
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but
may be assigned by Aqua without restriction. Any assignment or transfer by you shall be null and void.

You shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations which are now or hereinafter promulgated by any
government authority or agency which govern your use of the Website and the Services. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, you expressly agree to comply with such restrictions and not to export or re-export

not expressly granted herein are reserved by Aqua and its licensors.
Please review our other policies posted on the Website. These policies also govern your visit to the Website.

deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.
