18. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS WAIVER; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH VENUWORKS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity hereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate (hereinafter, collectively, the “Dispute”), which cannot be resolved informally, will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms set forth below (the “Arbitration Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary however, you and VenuWorks each retain the right to bring an individual action to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights or as otherwise permitted in these Terms. The institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.

California Residents Only

If you are a California resident, to the extent permitted by California law, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “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” as well as any other unknown claims under California Civil Code Section 1542 or any statute or common law principle of similar effect.

Arbitrator and Rules.

The arbitration proceeding will be administered using the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before one arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding and will not have precedential effect. The arbitrator will not have the authority to award damages outside of those set forth in these Terms. Any final award or judgment may be filed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will share equally in the costs assessed for the arbitration, and each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs. Any arbitration proceeding may not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding and will not proceed as a class action. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INVOLVING MULTIPLE CLAIMANTS, BUT THEY INSTEAD CHOOSE AND AGREE TO HAVE ALL DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN DECIDED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

Place of Arbitration; Applicable Federal Law.

The place of arbitration will be in Story County, Iowa, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties to the arbitration. The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 -16, will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. The parties expressly agree that all actions taken under the Arbitration Agreement and related provisions, including but not limited to, all filings, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party.

Survival.

This Arbitration Agreement provision will survive the termination of these Terms.

Time Limitation on Claims.

Subject to Applicable Law, any claim by you arising in connection with the Website must be commenced by you within one (1) year of the Dispute giving rise to the claim.

Changes to this Agreement to Arbitrate.

If VenuWorks modifies this arbitration provision, you may reject that change by sending VenuWorks written notice within thirty (30) days of our posting of the change, in which case we will terminate access to the Website and you must stop using the Website.

19. NOTICE FOR INTERNATIONAL USERS.

20. COOPERATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.

VenuWorks will cooperate with law enforcement if you are suspected of having violated Applicable Laws or if VenuWorks is required by any law, regulation, governmental authority or by court order, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other legal requirement to provide information about your use of, or access to, the Website.

YOU WAIVE AND HOLD VENUWORKS HARMLESS FOR ANY COOPERATION WITH, OR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO, LAW ENFORCEMENT RELATING TO YOUR SUSPECTED VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS.

21. SURVIVAL.

Any provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive termination (including any provisions regarding indemnification, limitation of our liability, or arbitration) will continue in effect beyond any termination of these Terms or of your access to or use of the Website.

22. GENERAL.

a. Enforceability. If any portion of these Terms is found to be void, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, then the remaining portion will be deemed to be superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that matches the intent of the original provision as closely as possible. The remainder of these Terms will continue to be enforceable and valid according to terms contained herein.

b. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and

VenuWorks with respect to your access to and use of the Website, superseding all prior discussions, negotiations or agreements, whether electronic, verbal or written, regarding the Website. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by VenuWorks.

c. No Waiver; Force Majeure. The failure of VenuWorks to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not constitute a waiver of said right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by VenuWorks. VenuWorks will not be deemed to be in default of any provision of these Terms or for failure in performance resulting from acts or events beyond the reasonable control of VenuWorks and arising without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, acts of God, civil or military authority, interruption of electric or computer network or telecommunication services, civil disturbances, acts of war or terrorists, strikes, fires, floods or other catastrophes.
