Commenting on our websites

You are welcome to participate on our Websites by posting comments at the end of each article. Please note that in order to post a comment you will be required to submit your email address. This DOES NOT make your email address publicly accessible. Nor does it subscribe you to our e-letters.

You must submit a name to post a comment, but it does not have to be your name — aliases are completely acceptable as long as they are unique and not meant to impersonate another person (eg. “Barack Obama” is not acceptable) or are considered by International Living, at its sole discretion, to defame another person, to be offensive or otherwise unacceptable.

You are responsible for the content of your messages and you are liable for activities conducted by you, by others authorized by you, or otherwise acting on your behalf.

By submitting messages you agree to indemnify and to continue to indemnify International Living to the full extent possible under the law against all claims, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable legal and administrative expenses) arising out of any such messages.

Messages are submitted by users over whom we have no control. We cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of these messages. Some users may breach these Terms and Conditions and post messages that are misleading, untrue or offensive. To the extent allowable under the law, you bear all risk associated with your use of our websites and you should not rely on messages in making (or not making) any specific investment or other decision. In the event that you have any right, claim or action against any users arising out of that user’s messages, then you will pursue such right, claim or action independently of, and without recourse to, us.

To the extent allowable under the law, we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the posting of messages by any person on our websites.

We have the right to moderate all comments and we reserve the right to remove any comments which we deem, in our absolute discretion, to be advertisements, offensive, illegal, defamatory, contain profanity, or are otherwise considered to be unacceptable.

Unlawful Activity

International Living has the right to investigate any breach or complaint about a violation of these terms and conditions. International Living will take any necessary action to protect itself and may report any unlawful activity to the relevant legal authorities.

Breaching the Terms and Conditions and Cancellation

Any subscriber or website user found to be in breach of these Terms and Conditions may have their subscription or website access suspended, amended or cancelled. We reserve our right to take whatever action is available to us under the law.

We reserve the right to cancel any subscription at any time, for any reason, regardless of whether a breach of these terms and conditions has occurred. Where we cancel your subscription, the unused portion of your subscription will be refunded on a pro rata basis.

Dispute Resolution by Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to or use of the Websites, the Products (including the purchase or use of any Products or any other purchases made on or through the Websites), or otherwise related to this Agreement or your relationship with International Living (“Disputes”), shall be resolved exclusively through confidential arbitration, rather than in court, and shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. Any question as to the validity of this arbitration agreement shall be submitted to confidential arbitration and decided by an arbitrator.

If a Dispute arises, you agree to first contact us at 410-783-8408 or legaloperations@14west.us. Before formally submitting a Dispute to arbitration, you and we may choose to informally resolve the Dispute. If any Dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that any and all Disputes, including the validity of this arbitration clause and class action waiver, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in a location convenient to you or telephonically. Either you or we may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration with the AAA, and providing a copy to the other party. We will pay the filing costs. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolutions Procedures, Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration of a Dispute may be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through a class action, private attorney general proceeding, class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You expressly agree to refrain from bringing or joining any claims in any representative or class-wide capacity, including but not limited to bringing or joining any claims in any class action or any class-wide arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only in the state and federal courts of Maryland: (i) any dispute, controversy, or claim relating to or contesting the validity of our or one of our family company’s intellectual property rights and proprietary rights, including without limitation, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, or trade secrets; (ii) an action by us for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, or other provisional relief; (iii) any legal action by us against a non-consumer; and (iv) interactions with governmental and regulatory authorities.

The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this arbitration agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this arbitration agreement shall still apply; however, if an arbitrator or court decides that the class action waiver is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION. You shall have thirty (30) days from the earliest of the date that you visit the Website or the date you purchase a Product or submit information to or through the websites to opt out of this arbitration agreement, by contacting us by email at legaloperations@14west.us. If you do not opt out by the earliest of the date that you visit the websites, or the date that you purchase a Product or submit information to us through the websites, then you are not eligible to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

General Provisions

If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by an arbitrator or (if proper) a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no failure or delay by you or International Living to exercise any rights, powers, or remedies under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy. We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in our performance under this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Changes to These Terms and Conditions

We may change all or part of these Terms and Conditions at any time. If we do, the new Terms and Conditions will be posted on our websites. Your subsequent or continued use of this website and/or receipt of our emails will constitute your acceptance of any changes.
