Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, TLC, its affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners and licensors (“TLC Entities”) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the TLC Entities, you will first contact TLC and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action.

Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of the TLC Website will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim. You and the TLC agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and TLC are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and TLC will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in "small claims" court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis.

Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, TLC will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to info@thelithium.com or to the U.S. mailing address listed in the "How to Contact Us" section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to the TLC within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Website or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, TLC also will not be bound by them.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

Updating These Terms. TLC may modify these Terms from time to time in which case it will update the "Last Revised" date at the bottom of these Terms. If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you, such as by e-mail and/or by placing a prominent notice on the first page of the Website. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes. The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms. Your continued access or use of the Website after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms.

Termination of Rights. If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all rights granted by TLC will terminate automatically. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by TLC or you. Termination will not limit any of TLC's other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Website of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the rights granted hereunder may be assigned by the TLC but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the TLC. 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.
