The Website and Mobile App are provided on an "as-is" and "as available" basis, and Company, its affiliates, and its suppliers expressly disclaim any and all warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including all warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, or non-infringement. Company, its affiliates and suppliers make no warranty that the Website and/or Mobile App will meet your requirements, will be available on an uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free basis, or will be accurate, reliable, free of viruses or other harmful code, complete, legal, or safe. In the event applicable law requires Company, its affiliates, or suppliers to provide any warranties with respect to the Website or Mobile App, all such warranties are limited in duration to ninety (90) days from the date of first use.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to You. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to You.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the liability to You by Company, its affiliates or suppliers for any damages arising from or related to the Website, Mobile App or any agreement entered into between You and Company (for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action), will at all times be limited to a maximum of fifty U.S. dollars ($50.00). The existence of more than one claim will not enlarge this limit.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Company, its affiliates or supplier be liable to You or any third party for any lost profits, lost data, costs of procurement of substitute products, or any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of, or inability to use, the Website or Mobile App, even if Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Access to, and use of, the Website and Mobile App are at your own discretion and risk, and You will be solely responsible for any damage to your device or computer system, or loss of data resulting therefrom.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You.

You agree to indemnify and hold Company (and its officers, employees, agents and affiliates) harmless, including costs and attorneys' fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of (a) your use of the Website or Mobile App, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of applicable laws or regulations; or (d) your user content.

Upon termination of your rights under these Terms, your Account and right to access and use the Website or Mobile App will terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of your Account may involve deletion of your user content associated with your Account from Company’s databases. Company will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of your rights under these Terms, including for termination of your Account or deletion of your user content. Even after your rights under these Terms are terminated, the following provisions of these Terms will remain in effect: Sections 2, 3.2 through 3.6, and Sections 4 through 10.

In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. Any changes to these Terms will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you (if applicable) or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on the Mobile App. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of the Mobile App. Continued use of the Mobile App following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

9.2 Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Section 9.2. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. These Terms, including this Section 9.2, applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written notice of dispute ("Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to: 4655 Great America Parkway, Suite 300, Santa Clara, CA 95054 Attn: General Counsel. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

(c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), an established alternative dispute resolution provider ("ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules ("Arbitration Rules") governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than ten thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is ten thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney's fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(e) Time Limits. If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.

(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.

(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under Section 9.2. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(h) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

(j) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the Company may bring an individual action in small claims court.

(k) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

(l) Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by Section 9.2 by mailing written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 4655 Great America Parkway, Suite 300, Santa Clara, CA 95054, Attn: General Counsel. The written notice must be signed by you and include your name, mailing address, and the email address you used to access these Terms. The Notice must be received by us within thirty (30) days of the date you registered.

(m) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

(n) Courts. In any circumstances where Sections 9.2(l) or 9.2(m) permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Santa Clara County, California, for such purpose

9.3 Export. The Mobile App may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Company, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.

9.4 Entire Terms. These Terms along with our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between Company and you with respect to use of the Website and Mobile App. Company’s or your failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect that party's right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word "including" means "including without limitation".

9.5 Severability & Waiver. If any provision herein is held unenforceable, then such provision will be modified to reflect the intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any or all rights and limitations set forth in these Terms may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms.

9.6 No Assignment. You may not resell, assign, or transfer any of your rights hereunder. Any such attempt will be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may assign these Terms at any time without notice.

9.7 By using the Mobile App, you consent to receive from Company all communications, including notices, agreements, legally required disclosures or other information in connection with the Application (collectively, "Communications") electronically. Company may provide such Communications by posting them on Company's website (www.novo.us) or by downloading such Communications to your wireless device. If You desire to withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically, You must discontinue your use of the Mobile App. Company may email or send text messages to you from time to time to inform you about our products and services that we think will interest You, unless You inform us that you opt out from receiving such communications.

9.8 No Partnership. Your relationship to Company is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other.

9.7 Survival of Terms. These Terms will survive the termination of your relationship with Company.
