User’s indemnity obligation will include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys' fees, costs of investigation, costs of defense, expert fees and expenses, settlements, and judgments associated with any Claims.
Insurance.
In the event User requires Talent to serve alcohol or operate a motor vehicle as part of the Services, User, at its own expense, will procure and maintain, without interruption during the Term, the following insurance policies:
•Commercial General Liability insurance (or equivalent) on an occurrence (not claims made) basis, in an amount not less than $2 million for any one occurrence.
•Business Auto Liability insurance covering any owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles in an amount not less than $2 million combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage for any one occurrence.
•Liquor Liability coverage in compliance with any then in-effect regulation set forth by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board of User’s state of operation.

29. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

30. CHOICE OF LAW AND JURISDICTION
Except as set forth in the Disputes; Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Section herein, all matters relating to the Services and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction). Unless you and Croux agree otherwise in writing, YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER YOU BY SUCH COURTS AND TO VENUE IN SUCH COURTS.
These provisions, except as otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement of these Terms, are only intended to specify the use of Delaware law to interpret these Terms and the forum for disputes asserting a breach of these Terms, and these provisions shall not be interpreted as generally extending Delaware law to you if you do not otherwise reside in Delaware. The foregoing choice of law and forum selection provisions do not apply to the Arbitration Agreement or to any arbitrable disputes as defined therein. Instead, the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to any such disputes.
31. DISPUTES; MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
(“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”)
By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against Croux on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against Croux, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against Croux by someone else.
(a) Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Croux.
You and Croux agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and Croux, and not in a court of law.
You acknowledge and agree that you and Croux are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and Croux otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
However, you and Croux each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
(b) Rules and Governing Law.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of Delaware.
(c) Process.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration - Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of Delaware and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
(d) Location and Procedure
Unless you and Croux otherwise agree, resolution of any and all disputes will be conducted in Lewes County, Delaware, U.S.A., which shall have jurisdiction over such disputes and over Users.
YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS TO VENUE AND TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER YOU.
(e) Arbitrator's Decision
The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect.
(f) Fees
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. If the Arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from AAA, Croux will pay them for you. In addition, Croux will reimburse all such filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the Arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Croux will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the Arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
(g) Changes
Notwithstanding the provisions above, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if Croux changes this Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change by providing Croux written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Effective" date above. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail or hand delivery to our registered office, c/o Croux, Inc., 1500 1st Ave N, Birmingham, Alabama 35203 or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to: support@croux.co. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Croux in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).
(h) Severability and Survival
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
32. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR CROUX’S SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
33. ASSIGNMENT; RELATIONSHIP
You may not assign any rights or obligations under these Terms without Croux's prior written approval. Croux may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms without your consent to: (i) a subsidiary or affiliate; (ii) an acquirer of Croux's equity, business, or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Croux as a result of these Terms, your Account, User Contribution, or your use of the Services.
34. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
No waiver by Croux of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Croux to assert or enforce a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Croux in writing. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. This provision shall not affect the Severability and Survival provisions with respect to the Arbitration Agreement which is part of these Terms.
35. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The Terms, including our Privacy Policy and any other terms and conditions incorporated herein or therein by reference constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Croux with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Services.
