We will not be liable for losses arising from events beyond our reasonable control.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Manifest Next Media LLC, and its members, officers, and agents, from and against any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your use of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

14. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

14.1 Governing Law. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions in this Section.

14.2 Informal Resolution Required First. Before initiating arbitration or any other proceeding, you and Manifest Next Media LLC, doing business as Mark R Cooley, agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought to legal@manifestnextmedia.com, or by mail to 1309 Coffeen Avenue STE 1200, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801. Both parties will make good-faith efforts to resolve the matter. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after the Notice is received, either party may proceed as permitted below. This informal-resolution step is a required precondition to starting arbitration.

14.3 Agreement to Binding Arbitration.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT REQUIRES THAT MOST DISPUTES BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Except for the matters described in Section 14.6 (Exceptions), you and Manifest Next Media LLC, doing business as Mark R Cooley, agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any products or services we provide — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory — shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, and not in court. The provisions of Sections 14.3 through 14.7 are referred to as the "Arbitration Agreement."

14.4 Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms, before a single neutral arbitrator. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any in-person hearing will take place in Maricopa County, Arizona; you may also request that the arbitration be conducted by telephone, by video, or on the basis of written submissions. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Filing, administration, and arbitrator fees are governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, and we will pay the portion of those fees that the rules require us to bear.

14.5 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void as to the affected claim, but the remainder of these Terms (including Section 14.8) shall remain in full force and effect.

14.6 Exceptions to Arbitration. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement requires arbitration of: (a) any claim that qualifies for and is brought in a small claims court, so long as it remains an individual claim in that court; or (b) any action by either party seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights, including the Company's trademarks, copyrights, and other proprietary materials.

14.7 Right to Opt Out of Arbitration. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement and the class action waiver within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to legal@manifestnextmedia.com stating your name, the email address you used to contact us, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

14.8 Forum for Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration. For any dispute that is not subject to arbitration under this Section — including claims within the Exceptions in Section 14.6, any action to compel arbitration or to enforce or confirm an arbitration award, and any dispute if the Arbitration Agreement is held unenforceable — you and the Company agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

14.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS.

14.10 Survival. This Section survives termination of your relationship with the Company.

15. General

You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours where your rights will not be adversely affected.

We may revise these Terms from time to time; revised Terms apply from the date of publication. Please check periodically to stay familiar with the current version.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede all prior discussions, arrangements, or agreements.

No third party shall have any right to enforce or rely on any provision of these Terms.

If any provision is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No delay, act, or omission in exercising any right or remedy will be deemed a waiver of that or any other right or remedy.
