  9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
    1. Changes. PB Vision is constantly changing and improving the Service. As part of this continual evolution, PB Vision may make modifications or changes (to all or part of the Service) such as adding or removing features and functionalities, offering new digital content or services or discontinuing old ones. PB Vision may also need to alter or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, in order to make performance or security improvements, make changes to comply with law, or prevent illegal activities on or abuse of PB Vision systems.

When the Service requires or includes downloadable software, that software may update automatically on Your device once a new version or feature is available, subject to Your device settings. The information and services included in or available through the Service may include inaccuracies or typographical errors. Changes are periodically added to the information herein.

The Service is provided “as is” and there are no warranties, claims or representations made by PB Vision either express, implied, or statutory, with respect to the Service, including warranties of quality, performance, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose, nor are there any warranties created by course of dealing, course of performance, or trade usage. PB Vision does not warrant the Service will meet Your needs or be free from errors, or the operation of the service will be uninterrupted.
    5. Basis of Bargain. The foregoing exclusions and disclaimers are an essential part of these Terms and formed the basis for determining the price charged for the Service. Some states do not allow exclusion of an implied warranty, so this disclaimer may not apply to You.
    6. Third-Party Products. PB Vision may from time to time make Third-Party Products available to You. “Third-Party Products” means any services, software or technology provided or made available to You that is owned by a third party and subject to its own terms and conditions as required by the owner of such services, software or technology.

THE FOREGOING IS AN AGGREGATE CAP AND NOT A PER CLAIM, PER INCIDENT OR PER LIABILITY CATEGORY CAP.
    3. NO RELIANCE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION 10 MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IN ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS YOU HAVE NOT RELIED AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR OTHER STATEMENTS WHATSOEVER, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL (FROM OR BY PB VISION OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES) OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY RISING OUT OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR OTHER STATEMENT NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS.

  15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
    1. Choice of Law and Venue. These Terms will be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Delaware without reference to its conflict of law principles.

    2. Rights to Litigate. YOU AND PB VISION ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.

    3. Mandatory Arbitration. ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND PB VISION ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICE, THESE TERMS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
    4. AAA Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 15. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitration will take place in Delaware.
    5. Arbitrator Authority. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid.

Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    6. Class Action Waiver. You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR PB VISION WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

    8. Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, You and PB Vision: (i) may still bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) may still pursue an enforcement action through a federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; and (iii) must file suit in court to address an intellectual property rights infringement claim. Also, nothing in this Section 15 bars either of us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.
  16. MISCELLANEOUS.
    1. Force Majeure. PB Vision shall be excused from performance hereunder if it is prevented from or delayed in performing its obligations under these Terms, or from carrying on its business, by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, labor disputes (whether involving the workforce of PB Vision or any other party), strikes, lockouts, shortages of or inability to obtain labor, failure of a utility service or telecommunications network, breakdown of plant or machinery, default of suppliers or subcontractors, war, pandemic, epidemic, COVID-19 or its variants, terrorism, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, act of God, fire, flood or storm (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). 
    2. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, relating to its subject matter. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a purchase order, vendor onboarding process or web portal, or any other documentation authored and/or provided by You (excluding documents authored by PB Vision) will be incorporated into or form any part of these Terms unless agreed to by an authorized representative of PB Vision in writing, and all such terms or conditions will be null and void. 
    3. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
    4. Headings. Section headings are not to be considered part of these Terms nor are they intended to be a full or accurate description of the contents.
    5. Notices. Any notices to PB Vision must be sent to: legal@pb.vision.
    6. Waiver. A waiver of any right(s) is not a continuing waiver of that or any other right(s).

PB Vision may assign, pledge or otherwise transfer (whether by operation of law, acquisition or sale of stock or assets, merger, consolidation, transfer of control or otherwise) or subcontract its rights and obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of You. The relationship between PB Vision and You is not one of a legal partnership relationship, but is one of independent contractors. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
    8. Limitation on Legal Action. YOU AND PB VISION AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
