5. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for the rights granted to consumers under applicable laws, the Site and its content are provided “as is.” The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the Site, its content, or any communications on the Site. This includes, but is not limited to, any website or other content accessible directly or indirectly through the Site.
The Company expressly disclaims any implied warranties regarding the Site and all associated software, content, and services, including warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, accuracy, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
No oral or written information or advice provided by the Company or its representatives creates a warranty. The Company does not guarantee that the Site will meet your requirements, be error-free, reliable, or available at all times. Additionally, there are no guarantees that services obtained through the Site will be effective, reliable, accurate, or meet your needs.
Access to and use of the Site is not guaranteed at all times or locations of your choosing. The Company does not endorse or warrant the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, information, advice, or statement on the Site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for the rights granted to consumers under applicable laws, the Company will not be liable for any damages or liabilities arising from your use of the Site, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability, or otherwise. This includes, but is not limited to, direct, incidental, indirect, special, or consequential damages (such as loss of data, revenue, profit, or damages resulting from personal injury or wrongful death), even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
This limitation of liability applies to damages arising from:
- Use of or inability to use the Site.

Consequently, the Company assumes no liability for delays, failures, interruptions, or corruption of any data or information transmitted in connection with the use of the Site.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
7. Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate
Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, by using the Site, you and the Company agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Site or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to: (i) Engaging New Media, LLC, at P.O. Box 381, Garden City 11530 or (ii) you, at the address we have on file for you.
Both parties agree that this dispute resolution procedure must be completed before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against one another. If the Dispute cannot be resolved through this procedure, you agree that the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for such Dispute will be determined by binding arbitration on an individual basis. This means you waive your right to a judge or jury, and you may not proceed as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. Arbitration rights, including discovery and appeal, will be limited compared to those available in court. All disputes will be submitted exclusively to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules in effect at that time, before a mutually agreed arbitrator.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claims that any part of these Terms is void or voidable.
8. Choice of Law and Choice of Forum
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision outlined above shall be resolved by a court located in New York, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claims or actions.
9. Modification and Termination
The Company reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. The “Last Updated” date will be updated accordingly. Users will be notified of any material changes through a posting on the Site. The Company has the right to terminate these Terms immediately for any user deemed unacceptable or in the event of any breach of these Terms.
