YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES, MOBILE APPS, AND API MATERIALS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. OUR SERVICES, MOBILE APPS, AND API MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND PHENIX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR THROUGH COURSE OF DEALING, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, PHENIX DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES, MOBILE APPS, API MATERIALS, AND ANY THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF INTERRUPTION. WHILE PHENIX ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR SERVICES SAFE AND SECURE, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES, MOBILE APPS, API MATERIALS, OR SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

NONE OF THE PHENIX PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY—WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE—FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS OR LOST OPPORTUNITY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ANY (A) ERRORS, MISTAKES, INACCURACIES, OR INABILITY TO RECEIVE OR VIEW CONTENT; (B) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, MOBILE APPS, OR API MATERIALS; (C) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, MOBILE APPS, OR API MATERIALS; OR (D) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO AND FROM SERVERS USED TO DELIVER ANY CONTENT, EVEN IF ANY OF THE PHENIX PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.\
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Phenix and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for disputes in which you or Phenix seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Phenix waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Phenix agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Phenix and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and Phenix agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 15 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. All disputes between Phenix and you will be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, consolidate more than one individual’s claims, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual, all of which are prohibited by these Terms. You and Phenix agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Phenix will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Phenix, Phenix will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Phenix agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Illinois and the United States sitting in Chicago, Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES, MOBILE APPS, OR API MATERIALS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND PHENIX WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THE CLAIM.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 17 by sending a written letter to [email protected]that specifies (i) your name, (ii) mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from final, binding arbitration procedures specified above. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are expressly agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 18.
These Terms and your access to and use of our Services, Mobile Apps, and API Materials will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Illinois and the United States, respectively, sitting in Cook County, Illinois.
Because we continuously work to enhance and modify our Services, Mobile Apps, and API Materials to improve the user experience, we may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the amended Terms and update the “Last Updated” date above. We may also send you additional notice, such as by sending an email notification to the address associated with your account or by providing notice through our Services. Unless we say otherwise in our notice of changes, the amended Terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of our Services, Mobile Apps, and API Materials after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services, Mobile Apps, and API Materials.
If you have any questions about these Terms or the Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials please contact us at [email protected].
All or part of our Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials may be subject to U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws (“Export Controls”). You agree to abide by all Export Controls as they relate to your access and use of our Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials. You may not access or use our Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials if you are located in a jurisdiction where the provision of our Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials is prohibited by law (a “Prohibited Jurisdiction”). You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not named on any U.S. government list of persons or entities prohibited from receiving U.S. exports, or transacting with any U.S. person; (b) you are not a national of, or a company registered in, any Prohibited Jurisdiction; and (c) you will comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States and the country in which you are located.
We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use our Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials.
These Terms, together with any non-disclosure agreement entered into between you and Phenix, constitute the entire agreement between you and Phenix relating to your access to and use of our Services, Mobile Apps, or API Materials. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The failure of Phenix to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
