You will not hold LBA or its third-party service providers, licensors and suppliers, as applicable, responsible for any loss or damage that results from your access to or use of the Website, including without limitation, any loss or damage to any of your computers or data.

11. Limitation of liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL LBA, OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, PROVIDERS, THIRD PARTY PARTNERS, ANYONE WHO HELPED DEVELOP, CREATE, PRODUCE, DISPLAY, TRANSMIT OR DELIVER OUR CONTENT, MATERIAL OR INFORMATION USED ON THE WEBSITE OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR SUBSIDIARIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, TREBLE, ENHANCED, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE RESULTING FROM LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR INACCESSIBLE DATA, LOSS OF PRIVACY, BREACH OF DATA OR DATA SECURITY, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION), OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF LBA HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. These limitations will apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.

IN NO EVENT SHALL LBA’S LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PRODUCT, CONTENT OR OTHER MATERIALS OFFERED OR MADE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE, EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). You agree that this limitation of liability represents a reasonable allocation of risk and is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between you and LBA. The Products would not be provided without such limitations. LBA will not be liable for failure to perform any obligation under these Terms if such failure is caused by the occurrence of any unforeseen circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, internet outages, communications outages, fire, flood, threats or acts of terror, theft, any action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes, or war. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LBA, (including, without limitation, all related and affiliated entities and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents and representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns) from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees), costs and demands directly or indirectly arising from or related to the following: (i) your use, misuse, or inability to use the Website, Our Content or any Products offered or made available on the Website, (ii) your breach or violation of any of these Terms, (iii) Your Content, (iv) any inaccurate or incomplete data or any Harmful Code transmitted by you, (v) any violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations by you or Your Content, and (vi) your cancellation of any order for Products, including but not limited to, the cost of special materials, the cost of custom or non-stock products completed or in process, and any reasonable costs incurred. LBA reserves the right to defend such claim or suit and seek full recompense from you. Without limitation of the foregoing, you may not settle, compromise, or dispose of any claim in any other manner without our express written consent.

13. Confidential information

From time to time in the course of using the Website, you may have access to certain confidential information of LBA (“LBA Confidential Information”). For clarity, as used in these Terms, “LBA Confidential Information” means all non-public or proprietary information disclosed by or on behalf of LBA, otherwise learned by you in the course of using the Website or otherwise interacting with LBA, which is (i) designated as confidential or proprietary; or (ii) a reasonable person would conclude is confidential or proprietary. LBA Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the following (whether furnished before or after you start using the Website, through the use of the Website or otherwise): (a) graphics and content of the Website that is not publicly accessible without a login or password; (b) non-public information relating to LBA’s Products, plans, specifications, designs, ideas, inventions, know-how, processes, techniques, practices, methodologies, policies and procedures, manuals and handbooks, testing, research and development; (c) information regarding acquiring, protecting, enforcing and licensing LBA’s proprietary rights including intellectual property rights; (d) information relating to LBA’s employees, influencers, suppliers, resellers, distributors and customers; and (e) any and all copies, reproductions, notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations and summaries of any of the above items, regardless of who prepares them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LBA Confidential Information does not include any information that you can demonstrate by documentary evidence (1) is or has become publicly available through no wrongful act or omission attributable to you; (2) is or becomes rightfully known to you through a third party who is not subject to a restriction on disclosure; or (3) is independently developed by you without the use of or reference to LBA Confidential Information.

You agree not to use LBA Confidential Information for any purpose other than as required to use the Website in accordance with these Terms (the “Purpose”). You agree to hold all LBA Confidential Information in strict confidence using at least the degree of care you would use to protect your most sensitive information and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. You agree to not publish, disseminate, or otherwise disclose, or permit or facilitate the disclosure of, any LBA Confidential Information to any third party. To the extent required for the Purpose as authorized by LBA in writing, you may disclose LBA Confidential Information only to your employees, directors, officers and agents (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information to carry out the Purpose and are bound to obligations of confidentiality (either by written agreement or applicable law) which are no less restrictive than those set forth in these Terms. You agree to be responsible for all acts and omissions of your Representatives. Any copy, extract, portion, or derivative of LBA Confidential Information shall be identified as belonging to LBA and prominently marked “confidential.”

14. Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice

Except as expressly provided above, nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring any license or right under any copyright or any other intellectual property right. It is our policy to respond appropriately to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), including by removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. If you are an owner of intellectual property who believes that your intellectual property has been improperly posted or distributed via the Website, please notify us immediately by email to na.engineering@lebronze-alloys.com or by U.S. mail to Lebronze Alloys North America, LLC, 112 Telmore Road, Warwick, Rhode Island 02818 USA. DMCA notices must be in writing and must include all of the following information:

• a physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed;
• a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
• a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Website or as part of any Product;
• your address, telephone number, and email address and all other information reasonably sufficient to permit LBA to contact you;
• a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

15. Transfer of ownership

It is possible that LBA and/or any of our assets may be acquired by an unrelated third party. In such a transaction, we may be required to disclose or sell any information you provide via the Website as an asset of the company in conjunction with the sale of our company or the sale of a portion of our assets to a third party. While we will endeavor to require the successor company to maintain these Terms, we cannot guarantee that our Terms will remain in effect.

16. Modification of products

LBA reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify, terminate or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Products or their availability (or any portion thereof including any Content) with or without notice, in its sole discretion. You agree that LBA shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any Products.

17. Claim resolution

You and LBA agree that in the event of any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, relating to or connected in any way with your use of the Website or Products or the breach, enforcement, interpretation or validity of these Terms (each, a “Claim”), the Claim will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, except as otherwise provided in these Terms. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit and uses a neutral arbitrator to resolve the Claim rather than a jury. Arbitration is subject to limited review by courts but arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. YOU AND LBA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties may bring an action in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of a party’s intellectual property.

You and LBA agree to use good faith efforts to resolve any Claims within thirty (30) days following written notice by either party that a Claim has arisen. If the parties cannot resolve the Claim within such time period, then the Claim shall be determined by a single arbitrator through Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (“JAMS”), in the State of Rhode Island, Kent County (the “Venue”). Alternatively, if it is determined or these Terms provide that a Claim should not proceed through arbitration, each of you and LBA agree that the Claim will be resolved exclusively in federal court in the Venue and waive any objections as to personal jurisdiction in the Venue. The then-current JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures shall apply. All fees charged by JAMS shall be split equally by you and LBA, but each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. If the Claim is $10,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator. You hereby acknowledge and agree that LBA may effect service of process by email to the address provided by you to LBA. Each of the parties waives the right to personal service.

You and LBA agree that all Claims will be governed by the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to conflict of laws principles and the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Any Claims must be raised within one (1) year after the event which gives rise to the Claim and may only be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You agree that, to the extent permitted by law: (a) any and all Claims will be resolved individually in the Venue designated above, without resort to any form of class action; and (b) any judgments and awards will be limited to actual third-party, out-of-pocket costs incurred, but in no event will attorney’s fees be awarded or recoverable.

18. Notices

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Website, you must provide all notices or complaints to LBA via email to na.engineering@lebronze-alloys.com or by U.S. mail to Lebronze Alloys North America, 112 Telmore Road, Warwick, Rhode Island 02818 USA.

19. General

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and these Terms will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such provision had never been contained herein. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and LBA as a result of these Terms or any use of the Products. LBA’s performance under these Terms is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms is in derogation of LBA’s right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Products or information provided to or gathered by LBA with respect to such use. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and LBA with respect to the Website and Products, and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and LBA with respect to the Website and Products. We may provide notice to you hereunder by posting announcements to the Website. Any rule of law or legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in these Terms against the party that has drafted it is not applicable and is waived to the fullest extent allowed by law. The provisions of these Terms shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effectuate the purpose intended by the parties.
