20. No Third Party Beneficiaries

The Terms of Service are solely between you and Alliance Risk, and no provision in the Terms of Service grants any implied or express rights to third parties. The Terms of Service do not authorize you to bind Alliance Risk in any manner.

21. Assignment

You may not transfer, assign, or license your rights under the Terms of Service without our prior express written consent.

22. Void Where Prohibited

Our Services are intended for use in areas of the United States where we, our affiliates, our partner insurers, our brokers, or our agents are licensed and permitted to sell our products and services. Although our Services may be accessed from other locations, any offer or transaction for any feature, product, or service is void where prohibited by law. Our Services Are Not Intended for Minors. Our Services are not directed at minors, defined as persons under 18 years old. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to access our Services. We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from individuals under 18, and such individuals should not provide us with any information.

23. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

You agree that the Terms of Service (including the incorporated Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy) are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. By using our Services, you consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of New York for resolving any disputes arising from your use of the Services, including enforcement of any arbitration award. You also waive any objections to such jurisdiction or venue.

24. Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Class Remedies

(a) Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or related to the Terms of Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration, following efforts by the parties to settle such disputes. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and consumer dispute procedures, excluding any rules or procedures for class actions. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve disputes, including the validity of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator’s decision will be binding and enforceable in any competent court, consistent with the Governing Law and Jurisdiction clause. The parties understand they may otherwise have the right to sue in court and the right to a jury trial. Arbitration may be more cost-effective but could exceed the cost of civil litigation, and may limit discovery.

(b) Waiver of Class Remedies. Any arbitration will proceed on an individual basis only, and not as part of a class action or representative action. If any court or arbitrator deems this waiver void or unenforceable, or allows arbitration on a class basis, the arbitration provision will be null and void, and the parties will be deemed not to have agreed to arbitration.

(c) Exception: Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the arbitration agreement, relief may also be sought in a small claims court for disputes within that court’s jurisdiction, subject to the Governing Law and Jurisdiction clause.

25. No Oral Modification

The Terms of Service may not be altered through oral agreements or statements. Employees, partners, or third-party affiliates of Alliance Risk are not authorized to modify the Terms of Service except as stated herein. Any employee claiming to modify the Terms of Service does not act with proper authority to bind Alliance Risk.

26. Communications with Alliance Risk

When using our Services, you may communicate with us by providing feedback, comments, questions, or proposals. Submitting information does not obligate Alliance Risk to provide compensation. If you provide contact information as part of a request for a quote or service from a third-party vendor, you consent to us using this information per the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. You consent to receive communications from us, including calls, emails, texts, or mailers, related to these goods and services, even if your phone number is on a “do not call” list.

27. Severability

If any provision of the Terms of Service is deemed unenforceable, invalid, or ambiguous, such provision will be limited or removed as necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

28. Non-Waiver

Failure to exercise any rights granted under the Terms of Service does not constitute a waiver of those rights.

29. Force Majeure

Neither party will be responsible for delays or failures due to acts of God, war, blockades, embargoes, riots, government restrictions, labor disturbances, supply shortages, wrecks, epidemics, quarantines, fires, floods, earthquakes, explosions, unforeseen changes in circumstances, or other causes beyond reasonable control.
