Limitation and Exclusion of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that CloudHew Solutions LLC (hereinafter referred to as “vSignify,” , “we,” “us,” or “our”), along with our affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees, representatives, partners, and licensors, shall not be liable to you for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind.

This includes, but is not limited to, any damages arising from or related to:
- The Website,
- The Materials,

Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A CLEAR AND EFFICIENT MECHANISM FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO OFFER A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE ARBITRATION PROCESS. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU RESEARCH ARBITRATION AND CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL IF NECESSARY PRIOR TO ACCESSING AND USING THE WEBSITE OR MATERIALS, AS YOUR USE IS CONDITIONED UPON YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION.
You agree that any class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, or any other proceedings in which a party acts in a representative capacity are expressly prohibited. Additionally, the combination of individual proceedings without the explicit consent of all parties is also prohibited. By accessing and using the Website and Materials, you waive any rights to initiate or participate in such proceedings against us. In the event that any claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, both you and CloudHew Solutions LLC waive your respective rights to a jury trial.
Any dispute or claim arising out of or related to your use of the Website or Materials—including, but not limited to, your access to and use of the Website or Materials—shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration rather than in a court of law. You acknowledge and agree that arbitration does not involve a judge or jury, and judicial review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator has the authority to award the same remedies on an individual basis that a court could grant, including injunctive and declaratory relief as well as statutory damages, and is required to adhere to these Terms as would a court.
These Terms are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable federal arbitration law. To initiate arbitration, you must submit a written request for arbitration that clearly outlines your claim to our registered address: CloudHew Solutions LLC, 131 Continental Drive, Suite 301, Newark, DE, 19713, United States.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. You may obtain a copy of the AAA’s rules at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. You agree that the arbitration may be conducted via web conference, based on written submissions, or in person in King County, Washington, at the discretion of the arbitrator.
BY ACCESSING AND USING THE WEBSITE AND MATERIALS, YOU CONSENT TO THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS ARBITRATION PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO FACILITATE AN EFFICIENT AND FAIR RESOLUTION OF ANY DISPUTES THAT MAY ARISE.

General Legal Terms
By accessing our Website or Materials, you acknowledge and agree that these Terms, along with any disputes arising between you and vSignify, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
You agree that in the event of any breach of these Terms, vSignify shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, in addition to any monetary damages. Such relief may be pursued in any court of competent jurisdiction without the obligation to arbitrate, as described in the Dispute Resolution section. Your sole remedy for any breach of these Terms by us shall be to remove the applicable content from the Website or Materials or to discontinue your access and use of the Website and Materials.
Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Should any portion of these Terms be deemed unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, you and vSignify agree that the arbitrator or court shall modify the Terms to achieve their intended purpose while maintaining enforceability. If modification is not possible, you and vSignify agree to request the removal of the unenforceable provision, with the remainder of the Terms continuing to be enforceable.
vSignify reserves the right to assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms or transfer or sublicense your rights under them. These Terms represent the entire agreement between you and vSignify regarding your access and use of the Website and Materials and supersede any prior agreements related to the same.
