Limitation of liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR COMPANY OR PARTNER merchants, ADVERTISERS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY, AND THEREFORE YOU SHALL GIVE UP AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE ALL YOUR MORAL RIGHTS AND RIGHTS TO ASK FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN RESULT OF ANY TYPE OTHER THAN REASONABLE DISBURSEMENTS, AND ALL RIGHTS TO DAMAGES AND RIGHTS, TO MULTIPLY OR INCREASE DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLUTIONS, THE CONTENT, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED ON THE SOLUTIONS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND INDEPENDENTLY ASK WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, INJURY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY.

We reserve the right to take exclusive defense and control of any claim, and you agree to cooperate fully with us to enforce any available defense.
Disputes, including compulsory arbitration and waiver of className action.
Any dispute or claim related in any way to your use of the Solutions, or to products or services sold or distributed by or through us, will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, with the following exceptions:
• You can bring claims to the Small Claims Court if your claims apply;
• If a claim involves the Condition of license granted to you, as described in the Content Ownership and Conditional Granting Licensing section above, either of us may bring a legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction in the district of Québec, the district in which the parties will elect domicile in accordance with the provisions of article 83 of the Civil Code of Québec. Both parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of these courts; and
• in the event that the arbitration agreement of these Terms is, for any reason, deemed to be unenforceable, any litigation against us (other than actions in the Small Claims Court) shall be commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction in the district of Québec, district in which the parties will elect domicile in accordance with the provisions of article 83 of the Civil Code of Québec. Both parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of these courts.
The arbitration agreement of these Terms is governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec, District of Quebec, Canada, including its procedural provisions. The Agreement is intended to be interpreted in its entirety and remains in effect after the termination of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not a federal court or agency, or a Province or State, retains the exclusive authority, to the extent permitted by law, to resolve all disputes arising or relating to the interpretation, the enforceability, or formation of this Agreement including, but not limited to, any allegation that all or any part of this Agreement is invalid or may be void. There is no judge or jury in the arbitration, and the review by a court of an arbitral award is limited. However, the arbitrator may grant the same damages and remedies as a court (including an injunction and declaratory judgment or statutory damages) on an individual basis, and he or she must follow these Terms as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your application to: Sociavore Inc.,151 Charles St W #100, Kitchener, ON, N2G 1H6, Canada Attention: Legal Service.
Each of us agrees that the arbitrator can not group more than one claim, and cannot otherwise preside over any form of className action, and that any dispute settlement proceeding will be conducted solely on an individual basis and not in the form of a className action or action on behalf of an association.
You agree to waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a className action. If this specific provision proves inapplicable, then the entire arbitration section will be null and void, and neither party will have the right to arbitrate the dispute.
You agree that these Terms govern the evidence that involves trade between different states and provinces and that the action be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec, District of Quebec, Canada, to the extent practicable.
