7.3. In some jurisdictions, limitations of liability are not permitted and, therefore, some of the above limits may not apply in all instances.

8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
8.1. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAKINO SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH ITS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY MAKINO ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS AND ARE NOT WARRANTED TO BE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF OUR WEBSITE AND SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. MAKINO MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF ITS SITE OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR SERVICES INCLUDED ON ITS SITE OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH ITS SERVICES.

8.2. Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you might have additional rights.

9. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Makino and its officers, directors, employees, parents, partners, successors, agents, distribution partners, affiliates, subsidiaries and their related companies from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or related to: (i) your access to or use of our Website or Service; (ii) any actual or alleged violation or breach by you of these Terms of Use; (iii) any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant that you have made to us; or (iv) your acts or omissions. You agree to cooperate fully with us in the defense of any claim that is the subject of your obligations hereunder.

10. MANDATORY ARBITRATION
10.1. The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court and to have a judge or jury decide their case, but they choose to have any disputes resolved through arbitration.

10.2. We each agree that any claim or dispute between us, and any claim by either of us against any agent, employee, successor or assign of the other, including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, third parties who are not signatories to this agreement, whether related to this agreement or otherwise, including past, present, and future claims and disputes, and including any dispute as to the validity or applicability of this arbitration clause, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS under its rules and procedures in effect when the claim is filed. The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from JAMS' website (www.jamsadr.com) or by calling JAMS at 949-224-1810.

10.3. We are entering into this arbitration agreement in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce. Accordingly, this arbitration agreement and any proceedings thereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. Any award by the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction

10.4. Exception to Arbitrate. Either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. Further, pursuant to Section 12 below, we each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and Makino, not as part of a classwide claim (i.e., not brought on behalf of or together with another individual's claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction in Section 12 is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn't apply and the classwide dispute must be brought in court.

11. GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM
These Terms of Use shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or relating to use of this Website and the material contained in this Website shall be resolved in a federal or state court in Hamilton County, Ohio. Each of us agrees that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arises or it will be forever barred.

12. NO CLASS ACTIONS
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

13. NO TRIAL BY JURY
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

14. AMENDMENT; ADDITIONAL TERMS
14.1. In certain instances, it may be necessary to update or modify our Terms of Use to reflect changes to our business, practices or policies. We also may, in some instances, need to provide you with operating rules or additional terms that govern your use of parts of our Website or any Service ("Additional Terms"). Accordingly, you agree that we may at any time provide you with Additional Terms, or update or modify these Terms of Use, as appropriate or necessary. To the extent any Additional Terms conflict with these Terms of Use, the Additional Terms will control.

Modifications to these Terms of Use or any Additional Terms will be effective upon: (a) notice, either by posting on our Website or by email notification; and (b) your subsequent use of our Website or Service. It is your responsibility to review the Terms of Use and the Website from time to time for any changes or Additional Terms. Your access and continued use of our Website or Service following any modification of these Terms of Use or the provision of Additional Terms will signify your assent to and acceptance of the same.
