 Your access to, use of, and/or participation in the Sites, or inability to access, use, or participate, is solely at your own risk.  If you are dissatisfied with the Sites, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue accessing and using them. By accessing or using the Sites, you represent and warrant that your activities are lawful in every jurisdiction where you access or use the Sites. The Instant Pot Brands Parties do not warrant that your use of the Sites is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the Instant Pot Brands Parties specifically disclaim such warranties.

The Instant Pot Brands Parties do not endorse User Content and are not responsible for User Content.

The Sites may contain forward-looking statements that reflect Instant Pot Brands’ current expectation regarding future events and business development. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual developments or results could differ materially from those projected and depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the success of current programs, ongoing commercialization of products, regulatory approvals of products, validity and enforcement of patents, the stability of its commercial relationships, and the general economic conditions.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that in no event will the Instant Pot Brands Parties be liable to you or anyone else for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, consequential, special, incidental or punitive damages of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages resulting from (i) computer viruses, trojan horses or other destructive/disruptive code which may be downloaded from the Sites or any linked websites, and (ii) lost profits, loss of prospective economic advantage, lost data or business interruption) arising out of the Sites or Site Content, User Content, the use, inability to use, or the results of use of the Sites or any products or services, any websites linked to the Sites, or the content contained on any or all such websites, action taken in connection with an investigation by the Instant Pot Brands Parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your use of the Sites, action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners, any errors or omissions in the Sites’ technical operation, any damage that results from events beyond our reasonable control, such as damages to any user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment or technology including, without limitation, damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other malfunction, whether or not based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory and whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by another party. If your use of the Site Content results in the need for servicing, repair or correction of equipment or data, you assume all costs thereof. In no event will the Instant Pot Brands Parties total liability to you for all damages, losses or causes or actions exceed the amount paid by you, if any, to Instant Pot Brands for a product or service ordered through the Sites or, in the event there has been no amounts paid, the amount of ten United States dollars ($10.00). The prior limitation on damages is not intended to limit the Instant Pot Brands Parties’ obligation to pay prevailing party costs or fees if recoverable pursuant to applicable law. The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude the Instant Pot Brands Parties’ liability for personal injury or property damage caused by the Instant Pot Brands Parties, or for the Instant Pot Brands Parties’ gross negligence, fraud or intentional, willful, malicious or reckless misconduct.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. By using the Sites, you hereby release the Instant Pot Brands Parties from any and all claims, damages or losses of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that you may have against them arising out of or in any way relating to the Sites.

By accessing the Sites, 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 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 that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

Section 20 – Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Instant Pot Brands Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, settlements and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party, due to or, directly or indirectly, arising out of or directly or indirectly related to: (A) your User Content; (B) your use of the Sites or activities in connection with the Sites; (C) your breach of these Terms or the documents they incorporate by reference or anticipatory breach; (D) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; (E) information or material transmitted through your computer, even if not submitted by you, that infringes, violates or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, moral or artist rights, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy or other rights of any person or similar matter; (F) any misrepresentation made by you; or (G) the Instant Pot Brands Parties’ use of your information as permitted under these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or any other written agreement between you and Instant Pot Brands. The Instant Brands Pot Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of a duly authorized employee of the Instant Pot Brands Parties.

If you violate any of these Terms, your authorization to use the Sites automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed Site Content. We reserve the right to immediately terminate your access to or registration on the Sites, remove material from the Sites, take other remedial actions, and seek any remedies permitted by law. The obligation and liabilities of the parties prior to termination shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.

We also reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms, including, without limitation, any violation arising out of any emails you send to the Sites or us. Any violation of these Terms may be referred to law enforcement authorities. We will cooperate fully with any law enforcement officials and/or agencies in the investigation of any person or persons who violate the Terms.

The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by the other party of any provision of the Terms or to exercise any right under the Terms will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance, rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, then any such provision shall be deemed severable to the extent that it is lawful, void or unenforceable, but shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

If a court or other decision-maker should determine that any provisions of these Terms is overbroad, unfair or unreasonable, such provision shall be given effect to the maximum extent possible by narrowing or enforcing in part that aspect of the provision found overbroad or unreasonable. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to any party at any time without any notice to you and upon such assignment we may be relieved of any further obligation hereunder.  Terms may not be assigned by you without Instant Pot Brands’ prior written consent. You represent to us that you have the authority to register with the Sites according to these Terms.

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.

No amendment to or modification of these Terms, or action, or delay, will be binding unless in writing and signed by Instant Pot Brands. Provisions of these Terms that would logically survive termination shall survive the termination of these Terms for any reason (including without limitation, Disclaimer of Warranties; Waiver, Limitation of Liability; Waiver and Arbitration).

These Terms and any Additional Terms constitute the entire understanding between the parties as to subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Instant Pot Brands controls and operates the Site from offices located in the United States. The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Instant Pot Brands to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Sites or any portion of the Sites, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service or other feature that we provide.

Thus, no software from the Sites may be downloaded, exported or re-exported: (a) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria or any other country to which the United States has embargoed goods or that has been designated by the U.S. government as “terrorist supporting”; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders, or (c) to any country or individual in a manner prohibited under the export control laws of the United States or Canada.

Except otherwise stated in the Arbitration Agreement (below), and excluding individual users who are resident in the province of Quebec, these terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois and the laws of the United States of America applicable therein without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof, and this agreement is deemed entered in Illinois.

This Section 25 applies to the extent permitted by applicable law and does not apply to individual users who are resident in the province of Quebec.

As part of these Terms of Use, you and Instant Pot Brands each agree as follows (the “Arbitration Agreement”).

Any dispute or claim or controversy arising from these Terms and/or out of or relating to your use of the Sites or any products or services sold or distributed by or through the Sites (including without limitation the arbitrability of any claim or controversy), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act. The parties waive their rights to file suit in court to assert any allegation, claim, or cause of action against the other, or to have a jury trial on any allegation, claim, or cause of action, and any right to do so (including without limitation the right to a jury trial) is hereby waived.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Instant Pot Brands, Inc. retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims with the court’s jurisdiction, and Instant Pot Brands, Inc. retains the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for provisional or conservatory relief, including without limitation pre-arbitral attachments or injunctions, and to adjudicate disputes relating to the infringement or misuse or misappropriation of intellectual property.

The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to the Terms of Use. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Sites or this Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to choice-of-law rules.  The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect.  The arbitration shall be presided over by a single arbitrator in DuPage or Cook County, Illinois.

In the event this venue will cause undue hardship to you, then, the discretion of the arbitrator, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted, with the parties participating through telephonic or video conference hearings, or at a location reasonably convenient to the parties in the state in which you reside at the time the arbitration is commenced, provided that it is within the Continental U.S.  To the extent that any of the foregoing provisions are inconsistent with JAMS applicable standards then in effect, such JAMS rules shall apply. 

Claims subject to this Arbitration Agreement will be conducted only on an individual basis and may not be arbitrated in a class, consolidated, collective or representative action, and you will not be able to participate in an arbitration as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to the claim.

You agree that any claim or controversy you may have arising out of, or relating to, your use of the Sites must be initiated via arbitration as detailed in this section within the applicable statute of limitations for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever barred.  Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply in such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in a court of competent jurisdiction in the U.S.

All aspects of the arbitration and award shall be confidential, except to the extent disclosure is necessary in connection with an application to a court for a preliminary or permanent injunction, a petition to confirm or vacate an award, to obtain legal or other professional advice necessary for the protection of a party’s rights, or as required by law or judicial decision.   

Subject to you demonstrating that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Instant Brands will pay as much of the fees charged to you by JAMS as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost prohibitive to you. 

The arbitrator will not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages, and the parties waive any right to recover such damages. As part of the award, the prevailing party shall be awarded its costs, including without limitation arbitration fees, expert witness fees, if any, and reasonable attorney’s fees. 

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, for any reason, that specific portion shall be severed from the rest, but such severance shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Arbitration Agreement will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving the provision, and any such waiver shall not waive or affect any other provision of this agreement. 

The foregoing provisions limit certain rights, including without limitation, the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in the JAMS rules and these dispute resolution terms, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief; provided that nothing herein will restrain a California resident’s right, if any, to seek public injunctive relief as permitted by law. Other rights that you would have in court also may not be available in arbitration.

Notwithstanding any other provision within these Terms, the following additional terms are applicable to those using any Instant Pot Brands application on an Apple iOS device: You understand that these Terms are between you and Instant Pot Brands only and not Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) and that Instant Pot Brands (or the third party developer that may own and operate the Mobile Features) are responsible for the Mobile Features and the content thereof, but that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce them against you. You understand that, should the Mobile Features fail to conform to any applicable warranty not disclaimed above, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any), but that Apple has no maintenance, support, or (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) other warranty obligations to you with regard to the Mobile Features. Apple is not responsible for any product liability claims or claims that the Mobile Features or your use thereof fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement or infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Mobile Features, please contact Instant Pot Brands as described below.
