19. TERMINATION

Either you or Senecamay terminate these Terms at any time upon notice. Seneca reserves the right to restrict, suspend or terminate the Services in whole or in part, without notice, with respect to any breach or threatened breach of these Terms. If Seneca terminates your account pursuant to this Section, Seneca reserves the right to deny access to the Service in whole or in part, including, without limitation, removing your data from the Senecaserver, and to refuse to provide the Service to you following such termination.

20. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS

Seneca has the right to modify these Terms. Any modification is effective immediately upon posting on the Seneca website that is reflected by the “Last Updated” date of these Terms. Your continued use of the SenecaService following notice of any modification to these Terms shall be conclusively deemed an acceptance of all such modification(s).

21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Seneca agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.

A.            First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Service or User Content or these Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, "Dispute"), or to any of Seneca's actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an "Excluded Dispute", which includes those actions set forth in Section (D) below), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such contact information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section (A). Your notice to us must be sent to: 745 Fifth Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10151. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Seneca and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Senecato resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Seneca, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.

B.            Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section (A) (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND SENECA MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT, APPLICATION, SERVICE OR ADVERTISING CONNECTED TO THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE SITE (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT - INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDENT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY - AND WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Seneca and you regarding these Terms and the Service, including the "No Class Action Matters" Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Seneca and you agree, however, that New York or federal law shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and Senecaregarding these Terms and the Service, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to New York's choice of law principles.

A Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules ("Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), except as modified herein, and in accordance with the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the "metropolitan statistical area" (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Senecato pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section to be enforceable, then Seneca will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by these Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. Issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions contained herein are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Service. You can obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org.

C.            Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION (A)) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in Section (A); (b) filing for arbitration with the AAA as set forth in Section (B); or (c) filing an action in state or Federal court. The parties expressly waive any contrary statute of limitations or time bars, both legal and equitable, to the Disputes.

D.            Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section will not apply to any legal action taken by Senecato seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Service, User Content, our Content and/or Seneca's intellectual property rights (including such Senecamay claim that may be in dispute), Seneca's operations, and/or Seneca's products or services.

E.            No Class Action Matters. YOU AND SENECA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section (B) to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section (G). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this "No Class Action Matters" section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.

F.            Small Claims Matters Are Excluded From Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.

G.            Federal and State Courts in New York County, New York. Except where arbitration is required as above, small claims actions, or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in New York County, New York . Accordingly, you and Seneca consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

22. GENERAL

Assignment: These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without our prior express written consent, but may be assigned by us without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof will be null and void.

No Partnership: You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Seneca as a result of these Terms or use of the Service.

Governing Law: The formation, construction, performance and enforcement of these Terms shall be governed solely in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions or the conflict of law provisions of any other jurisdiction. 

Severability; Waiver: Whenever possible, each provision of these Terms shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of these Terms are held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid or enforceable provision, except that in the event of unenforceability of the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver provisions, the entire arbitration agreement will be unenforceable. Neither Seneca nor the user will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under these Terms by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than (i) by an authorized representative and (ii) in an explicit written waiver. No waiver of a breach of these Terms will constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of these Terms.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with us in connection with the Service, will constitute the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Service. None of our employees or representatives are authorized to make any modification or addition to these Terms. Any statements or comments made between you and any of our employees or representatives are expressly excluded from these Terms and will not apply to you or us or your use of the Service.
