Without limitation, the following terms and conditions apply to Viral Content Distribution of Collaborative Content:

The Tech.Army Parties do not make any representations or warranties that the information on the Web Site is accurate, complete, correct, adequate, useful, timely, reliable or otherwise. You acknowledge, by your use of the Web Site, that your use is at your sole risk. The Tech.Army Parties do not warrant that your use of this Web Site is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the Tech.Army Parties specifically disclaim such warranties.

The Tech.Army Parties do not endorse the User Content or Collaborative Content, are not responsible for the User Content or Collaborative Content and specifically disclaim any responsibility or liability to any person or entity (including, without limitation, persons who may use or rely on such User Content or Collaborative Content) for any loss, damage (whether actual, consequential, punitive or otherwise), injury, claim, liability or other cause of any kind or character based upon or resulting from any User Content or Collaborative Content provided through the Web Site.

Disclaimers / Limitation of Liability

You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of the Tech.Army Parties' acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any web site, property, product, service, or other materials owned or controlled by the Tech.Army Parties, or other equitable relief, and, without limitation, you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of any web site, property, product, service, or other materials licensed to or owned or controlled by the Tech.Army Parties.

By accessing the Web Site, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and hereby expressly waive, the benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows: "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."

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold the Tech.Army Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, settlements and expenses, including attorneys' fees, that directly or indirectly arise from or are otherwise directly or indirectly related to:

• User Content, including without limitation, your contributions to Collaborative Content;
• Your use of the Web Site or activities in connection with the Web Site;

• Your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities;

• Any misrepresentation made by you; or
• The Tech.Army Parties' use of your information, content or submissions.

You will cooperate as fully required by the Tech.Army Parties in the defense of any claim.

Termination and Suspension

Tech.Army may suspend and/or terminate your access to and use of the Web Site, in whole or in part, if Tech.Army believes you have failed to conform with these Terms. Tech.Army may do so in its sole discretion, without liability and without providing you with prior notice. Tech.Army may also investigate suspected violations of these Terms and may refer violations to law enforcement authorities.

• Immediately discontinue use of the Web Site and the Collaborative Content; and
• Destroy all materials obtained from the Web Site and any related materials.

The rights granted by you, and your agreements, obligations and covenants are not subject to termination, revocation or rescission.

Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the United States and the State of California governing contracts entered into and to be fully performed in the State of California (i.e., without regard to conflict of laws provisions) regardless of your location. You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to Tech.Army are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which will irreparably harm Tech.Army and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that Tech.Army will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for money damages (if any). Except with respect to the interpretation, protection or enforcement of Tech.Army's claimed intellectual property rights or right to seek injunctive relief (which will only be subject to arbitration if the parties mutually agree), you agree that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or any of the transactions contemplated herein or any contests or services thereon (including, without limitation, statutory, equitable or tort claims) will be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration will be held in Los Angeles, California, or another location closest to your place of residency. The arbitrator will apply the substantive laws of the State of California, will issue a written decision, and will have the power to award any legal remedies consistent with this Agreement except for punitive, exemplary or special damages. The parties will split the arbitrator's fee; provided, however, that if any court or arbitrator would find such requirement unconscionable or unenforceable, Tech.Army will have the option to pay all of such fees and proceed with arbitration. You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your account(s).

These Terms may not be assigned by you without Tech.Army's prior written consent.

Upon Tech.Army's request, you will furnish Tech.Army any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with these Terms. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect.
