The disclaimers and limitations in this Section 9 reflect the parties' allocation of risk and are essential elements of the basis of the bargain. 10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 10.1 Excluded Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL iSpi BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY: (a) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; (b) LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE; (c) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COST OF COVER, OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; (d) PERSONAL INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR INJURY TO PROPERTY; OR (e) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE, ANY CONTENT, ANY SERVICE DESCRIBED ON THE SITE, ANY USER SUBMISSION, OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER iSpi WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 10.2 Liability Cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, iSpi'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE -- UNDER ALL CAUSES OF ACTION COMBINED -- SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100.00) OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID iSpi FOR ACCESS TO THE SITE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

The disclaimers in Section 9 and the limitations in this Section 10 reflect the parties' allocation of risk, are essential elements of the basis of the bargain, and apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain warranties or damages, so portions of this Section 10 may not apply to you; in such jurisdictions, iSpi's liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. 11. INDEMNIFICATION BY VISITOR 11.1 Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless iSpi from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Site; (b) your User Submissions; (c) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms or any representation or warranty made in these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or rule; (e) your violation of any right of any third party (including any intellectual-property right, privacy right, or publicity right); (f) any negligent or willful act or omission by you; and (g) any claim that your access to or use of the Site caused damage to any third party. 11.2 Defense and Settlement. iSpi may, at its option, assume sole control of the defense and settlement of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 11, with counsel of iSpi's choice, at your expense. You shall reasonably cooperate with iSpi at your own cost. You shall not settle any claim that imposes any liability or obligation on iSpi (including any non-monetary obligation, admission, or restriction) without iSpi's prior written consent. 11.3 Procedures. iSpi shall give you reasonably prompt written notice of any claim for which iSpi seeks indemnification (provided that delay shall not relieve you of your obligation except to the extent you are materially prejudiced). iSpi may participate in the defense with counsel of its own choosing at its own expense. 11.4 Cumulative Remedies. The indemnification rights and remedies in this Section 11 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy available to iSpi at law or in equity, except as expressly limited by these Terms. 12. MODIFICATIONS TO SITE AND TERMS 12.1 Modification of Site. iSpi may modify, suspend, throttle, or discontinue the Site, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice. iSpi may add, remove, or change features, Content, layout, design, or functionality at any time. iSpi has no liability for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation. 12.2 Modification of Terms. iSpi may modify these Terms at any time in iSpi's sole discretion by posting the updated Terms on the Site and revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. Material changes may, but are not required to, also be communicated through a banner or notice on the Site. 12.3 Effective Date. Modifications to these Terms are effective on the "Last Updated" date or such later date as the updated Terms specify. Your continued access to or use of the Site after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. 12.4 Your Sole Remedy. If you do not agree with any modification of these Terms, your sole remedy is to cease accessing and using the Site. iSpi has no obligation to honor prior versions of these Terms after a modification takes effect. 12.5 No Modification by You. You may not modify these Terms. No purported amendment, side letter, course of dealing, or extra-contractual representation by you binds iSpi. 13. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 13 CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES INDIVIDUALLY, WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, WAIVES THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS, AND ESTABLISHES A SHORTENED ONE-YEAR PERIOD WITHIN WHICH ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT. 13.1 Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your access to or use of the Site (each a "Dispute") shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq. (the "FAA"), shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions of this Section 13. 13.2 Informal Resolution. Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, the party seeking to commence a Dispute (the "Claimant") shall send the other party a written notice describing in reasonable detail the dispute, the underlying facts, the claims asserted, and the relief sought (a "Dispute Notice"). Notices to iSpi shall be sent to legal@ispi.ai and to iSpi's mailing address in Section 15. The parties shall negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days following the Dispute Notice. The thirty-day informal-resolution period is a mandatory pre-condition to commencement of arbitration or court proceedings. 13.3 Binding Arbitration. Any Dispute that is not resolved under Section 13.2 shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures then in effect (the "Commercial Rules"). For Disputes that the AAA classifies under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures, those rules apply. For Disputes seeking total recovery of US$250,000 or less, the AAA's Expedited Procedures apply automatically. 13.4 Arbitrator; Seat; Hearings; Language. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator who is a licensed attorney with at least fifteen (15) years' experience in commercial, technology, or healthcare-technology matters. The seat of arbitration shall be Birmingham, Alabama. Hearings shall be conducted in Birmingham, Alabama, in person or by video at the arbitrator's discretion. The language of arbitration shall be English. 13.5 Delegation. Any dispute concerning the formation, validity, scope, applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of this Section 13, including any claim that all or part of this Section 13 is unconscionable, void, or voidable, shall be decided by the arbitrator and not by a court -- except that a court shall decide (a) whether the parties agreed to arbitrate at all and (b) the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver in Section 13.7. 13.6 Jury Trial Waiver. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES, IN ANY FORUM. 13.7 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND iSpi AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR HAS NO AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR TO AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Class Action Waiver in this Section 13.7 is unenforceable as to any particular Dispute, that Dispute alone shall be severed and shall proceed in court under Section 13.10; the parties' agreement to arbitrate all other Disputes individually remains fully enforceable. 13.8 Anti-Coordination. The Class Action Waiver and the individual-arbitration requirement extend to and prohibit: (a) coordinated mass filings (five or more substantively similar arbitration demands within any six-month period filed by the same lead attorney, the same firm, or coordinating counsel); (b) splitting of what would naturally be a single claim into multiple claims; (c) joinder, consolidation, or batching of claims from multiple claimants; and (d) aggregation tactics designed to extract settlement leverage from arbitration filing-fee or administrative-burden dynamics. If twenty-five or more substantively similar demands are filed against iSpi within any sixty-day period, the demands shall be batched in a bellwether protocol consistent with Section 17 of the iSpi Master Service Agreement (where applicable). 13.9 Costs. Each party shall pay its own AAA filing fees, except that iSpi shall pay any portion of the filing fee that exceeds the amount required to file the same claim in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. Arbitrator's fees shall be allocated 50/50 by default, with the arbitrator authorized to reallocate based on conduct or outcome. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees, except that the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees to a prevailing party for frivolous, vexatious, or bad-faith conduct, or as required by Alabama law. 13.10 Court Carve-Outs. The following matters may be brought in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Birmingham Division), or, if federal subject-matter jurisdiction does not exist, the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama (collectively, the "Courts"), and not in arbitration: (a) claims for emergency or preliminary injunctive relief, temporary restraining orders, or specific performance to protect intellectual property, confidential information, or to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Site; (b) small-claims actions within the small-claims jurisdictional limit of the appropriate Alabama court, brought on an individual basis only; (c) confirmation, modification, or vacatur of an arbitration award under the FAA; and (d) any Dispute that a court has determined must proceed in court because the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to that Dispute. Each party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the Courts and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens, inconvenience, or otherwise. 13.11 One-Year Time Bar. ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED (BY DELIVERY OF A DISPUTE NOTICE UNDER SECTION 13.2) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OR THE DISPUTE IS FOREVER BARRED. THIS CONTRACTUAL LIMITATIONS PERIOD MAY BE SHORTER THAN THE PERIOD THAT WOULD OTHERWISE APPLY UNDER ALABAMA OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. THE PARTIES INTEND THIS LIMITATIONS PERIOD TO BE ENFORCED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 13.12 Confidentiality of Proceedings.
