UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE CELEBRATE PARTIES OR THEIR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PERSON CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFIT, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR FOR ANY COST OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR INFORMATION, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICES, OR ANY OF THE CONTENT OR OTHER MATERIALS ACCESSED THROUGH OR DOWNLOADED FROM THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THROUGH THE WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITY THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT THE CELEBRATE PARTIES ARE AWARE OF OR HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Celebrate and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) against any loss, damage, liability, claims, cost and expense, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, which an Indemnitee incurs in connection with any third-party claims arising out of or resulting from (i) your use of and access to the Services, including any intellectual property rights therein, (ii) your violation of these Terms of Use, and (iii) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Celebrate will provide notice to you of any such claims and may, in Celebrate’s sole discretion, assist you, at your expense, in the defense or settlement of such claim.

TERMINATION
Celebrate reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to all or part of the Services, with or without notice.

GOVERNING LAW
These Terms of Use, and all matters arising in connection herewith, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, whether common law or statutory, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof that would cause the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Celebrate, you will first contact Celebrate and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action.
Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of Celebrate’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration. You and Celebrate agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms of Use will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms of Use, you and Celebrate are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Celebrate will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, Celebrate will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms of Use by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to PO Box 270742 Louisville, CO 80027 or to the U.S. mailing address listed at the bottom of these Terms of Use. The notice must be sent to Celebrate within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms of Use; otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms of Use. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Celebrate also will not be bound by them.

GENERAL
The failure of either you or Celebrate to exercise, in any way, any right herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
