SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OR DISCLAIMERS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SUCH PROVISIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

9. Indemnification. You shall indemnify, defend and hold Trellis and the other Released Parties harmless from and against all claims, damages, fees, costs, expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees), liabilities or causes of action arising out of or related to your use of the Site or your breach of these Terms.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Trellis, and any attempted assignment or transfer without Trellis’s prior written consent shall be null and void. Trellis may freely assign these Terms without notice. All of the terms and provisions of these Terms shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective estates, personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

11. Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by, construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict or choice of law principles. Subject to Section 17 below, any action arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of Hennepin County, Minnesota, and all parties expressly consent to such courts’ jurisdiction and irrevocably waive any objection with respect to the same.

12. Privacy. Trellis collects and uses your personal information in accordance with Trellis’s Privacy Policy which is incorporated herein by reference and deemed a part hereof.

13. Costs of Litigation. To the extent not prohibited by law, you shall be responsible for all charges, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Trellis in enforcing or attempting to enforce its rights hereunder, regardless of whether suit is commenced. In the event applicable law would convert this provision into a bilateral (i.e. “prevailing party”) fee shifting provision, this provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms and the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

14. Suspension, Termination and Cancellation. Trellis reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate the Site and/or your Account without notice for any reason, including, but not limited to, if Trellis believes that you are in violation of any of the provisions of these Terms. Trellis reserves the right to demand proof of eligibility, licensure and/or certification at any time, and suspend or terminate your Account if satisfactory evidence of eligibility is not promptly provided. Trellis may deny you access to areas of the Site requiring an Account if Trellis has grounds to suspect that the user information you have provided is inaccurate, not current or incomplete. If Trellis believes your Account and password are being used without your authorization, Trellis may, without notice, deny or block a transaction made through your Account and password until such time as Trellis is satisfied that only you are accessing your Account. In the event you desire to terminate your Account you may do so by contacting Trellis as set forth in Section 19 below.

15. Force Majeure. Trellis shall not be responsible for delays or failures of performance resulting from acts beyond the reasonable control of Trellis.

16. Miscellaneous. Section headings are not to be considered part of these Terms. They are included solely for convenience and not intended to be full or accurate descriptions of the content hereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, should any provision of these Terms be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity will not invalidate the whole of these Terms, but rather that invalid provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same effect as the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Except as set forth in Section 7, 8 and 9, nothing in these Terms is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective estates, personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of these Terms. Any and all rights and obligations contained in these Terms which by their nature and/or context are intended to survive termination of these Terms shall so survive, including, but not limited to, the limitations of liability, disclaimers and indemnification obligations. No breach or right under these Terms may be waived unless in writing signed by the waiving party. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of such entity and have the ability to bind such entity to these Terms. These Terms (and any other documents or terms referenced herein) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Site and subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

17. Arbitration. If any claim arising out of or related to these Terms and/or the Site cannot be settled by the disputants, the claim shall be resolved pursuant to informal arbitration by an arbitrator selected under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (as then in effect for expedited proceedings) and located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and such arbitration shall be conducted in that same location under such rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no disputant shall be required to seek arbitration regarding any cause of action that would entitle such disputant to injunctive relief. The determination of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the disputants and a court judgment upon the same may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof. Subject to Sections 9 and 13 above, the expenses of arbitration shall be borne equally by the opposing disputants.
