b. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
14. CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE
These Terms of Use shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any legal proceedings against us that may arise out of, relate to, or be in any way connected with our Services or these Terms of Use shall be subject to Mandatory Arbitration as set forth in Section 15 and, if arbitration does not apply, brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of Indianapolis, Indiana. Each Party waives any jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
15. NOTICE, DISPUTE RESOLUTION & MANDATORY ARBITRATION
a. Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications permitted or required under these Terms, may be provided electronically and given by IMPO via email, notification, messaging service, or any other contact method we enable and based on the contact information you have provided us.
b. In the event of any disputes, the Parties each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information, and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with written notice of any disputes by contacting us at Indianapolis MPO, c/o Executive Director, 200 East Washington Street, Suite 2322, Indianapolis, IN 46204.
c. If, after thirty (30) days, the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute raised under the previous provision, the dispute may only be submitted to arbitration consistent with this Section. Each Party understands 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 instead choose to have any disputes resolved through arbitration.
d. The Parties agree that any claim or dispute between them, and any claim by either Party 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 final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Rules of Arbitration and procedures in effect when the claim is filed applying Indiana law. The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from the AAA directly. The arbitration shall take place at a location mutually agreed to by the Parties or, if no such agreement is reached, as determined by the AAA.
e. The Parties 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.
f. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may bring any claim for injunctive relief regarding any infringement of our intellectual property rights. Either Party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. Furthermore, as set forth below, the Parties agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and us, not as part of a class-wide 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 is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the class-wide dispute must be brought in court.
16. NO CLASS ACTIONS
To the extent permitted by law, each Party waives any right to pursue disputes on a class-wide basis; that is, either to 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.
17. NO TRIAL BY JURY
To the extent allowed by law, each Party waives any right to trial by jury in any lawsuit, arbitration, or other proceeding.
18. MISCELLANEOUS

d. No waiver by either Party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.
e. Except where specifically stated otherwise, if any part of these Terms of Use is unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, the Parties both agree that only that part of the Terms of Use shall be stricken and that the remaining terms in the Terms of Use shall not be affected. So, for example, if a provision in these terms is found to be unenforceable, the Parties agree that an arbitrator (or, if permitted, a court) shall only strike that provision and that the remaining terms of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.
f. If language translation software has been used on these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, or Additional Terms, you agree that the translation is for your convenience only and that the English version governs your relationship with us. The English language version takes precedence if there is any contradiction between the English and any translated versions.
g. These Terms of Use (including the Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between us with respect to such subject matter.
h. You may not assign these Terms of Use or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any such purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent will be null and void and of no force and effect. We may assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder without your consent and without notice.
