You may use the Portal only for internal purposes of your company or institution; you may not provide third parties with access to the Portal, nor may you use the Portal to provide products or services for third parties. You may not assign your license to a third party, nor may you rent or lease the Portal.

We make no warranties, representations, conditions or covenants in relation to the portal or any services we provide to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our suppliers provide the portal as is and with all faults. We hereby disclaim all other warranties and conditions, whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, of fitness for a particular purpose, of accuracy or completeness of responses, of results, or workmanlike effort, of lack of viruses and of lack of negligence, all with regard to the portal.

6. Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we or our suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits or confidential or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, for loss of privacy, for failure to meet any duty including of good faith or of reasonable care, for negligence, and for any other pecuniary or other loss whatsoever) arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the portal, or otherwise under or in connection with any provision of this agreement, even in the event of the fault, tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of contract or breach of warranty by us or any of our suppliers, and even if we or any supplier have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7. Limitation of Liability and Remedies
Notwithstanding any damages that you might incur for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, all damages referenced above and all direct or general damages), our entire liability (including the liability of our suppliers) under this agreement and your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the amount you actually paid to us for Portal usage during the twelve months immediately preceding your claim. Regardless of its nature, you may not bring any claim against us or any of our suppliers after one year has elapsed since you were first damaged by using the Portal. The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers (including Sections 5 and 6 above) shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose.
8. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration conducted in the English language in Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A., under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator jointly appointed by the parties; provided, however, that if we cannot agree within thirty days after the initiation of the arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the AAA in Albuquerque. The arbitrator shall resolve disputes regarding arbitration procedures. The arbitrator may proceed to an award notwithstanding the failure of the other party to participate in the proceedings. The arbitrator shall be authorized to grant interim relief, including preventing the destruction of goods or documents involved in the dispute, protecting trade secrets and providing for security for a prospective monetary award. In no event shall punitive damages be assessed against either party. If a matter here under is brought to arbitration, the award of the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, subject only to revocation on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrator. Notwithstanding this, application may be made to any court for a judicial acceptance of the award or order of enforcement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7 to the contrary, each party shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against the other party or anyone acting by, through or under such other party, in order to enforce the instituting party's rights here under through reformation of contract, specific performance, injunction or similar equitable relief.
9. Governing Law
This agreement is governed by the laws of Albuquerque, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
10. Entire Agreement
This agreement is the entire agreement between us relating to the Portal. This agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the Portal or any other subject matter covered by this agreement.
11. General Provisions
Our failure to strictly enforce any term or condition or to exercise any right we may have will not constitute a waiver of our right to strictly enforce these terms and conditions or exercise our rights in the future. All rights and remedies that we have are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies we may have at law or in equity. If any provision of these terms and conditions is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected or impaired. These terms and conditions are binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and are enforceable by, the parties, and our respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
