- Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
- Mandatory Arbitration. With the exception of a Fee Claim as outlined below, the Parties agree that any dispute regarding this Agreement shall be resolved by alternative dispute resolution, including, if necessary, a final and binding arbitration. The Company may bring a civil action in order to collect outstanding fees owed by the Provider (hereinafter referred to as a “Fee Claim”), and a Fee Claim is not subject to mandatory arbitration. Should the Company bring a Fee Claim, the Provider irrevocably waives the Provider’s right to bring any compulsory or permissive counterclaims against the Company, as those are subject to mandatory binding arbitration. The Company may elect to include a fee dispute in an arbitration, and is not required to bring the Fee Claim in civil court. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted under the rules of the JAMS. Each such arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator appointed by JAMS. Any such arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant specific performance. The Parties shall share the costs of the arbitrator. Failure to pay the arbitration fee to JAMS within 30 (thirty) days of the initial fee request shall result in a default of that party and judgment shall automatically be entered for the other Party. In any arbitration brought to enforce this Agreement, the successful Party will be entitled to receive its attorneys’ fees and costs with regard to any such arbitration from the Party against whom a judgment is entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with its rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive relief before a state or federal court in Massachusetts in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and any such application shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between the parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (b) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. The parties agree that any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

Provider shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Company resulting from any third-party investigation of the acts or practices of Provider including, without limitation, any costs or expenses related to compliance with any third party subpoena or other discovery request. Should the Company be served with a third party subpoena in connection with Services it performed for Provider, the Company shall promptly advise Provider and consult with Provider regarding the Company’s response to the subpoena to the extent the subpoena seeks Provider data, documents, or information pertaining to Provider so that Provider may have an opportunity to seek appropriate relief.
- Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE IN TRADE.

Electronic data that is confidential to the Provider may be transmitted or stored using third-party vendors’ portals or cloud-based applications. The Company may use third-party service providers to store or transmit this data. The Provider recognize and accept that the Company has no control over the unauthorized interception or breach of any communications or data once it has been sent or has been subject to unauthorized access, and consent to the Company’s use of these electronic devices and applications during this engagement. Company shall not be liable for a data breach or other actions or inactions of any third party.
