Spotlit offers Services to three distinct categories: Brands, Spotlitters (all kinds of influencers on Spotlit), and A-Listers (registered users).

This section outlines the limitations of our liability for any damages you may suffer as a result of using our services.

7.1 We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses.

The limitations of liability apply regardless of whether the damages arise from contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory.

7.3 Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through our services will create any warranty not expressly stated in these terms. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, actions, suits, demands, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services or your violation of these Terms. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

9. Dispute Resolution and Arbritation

9.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and us in the most expeditious and cost-effective manner, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or your use of the Services will be resolved through binding arbitration. This means that you and we are waiving the right to sue each other in court.

9.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive relief in court to prevent or stop infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Additionally, either party may bring claims before small claims court if the claims fall within the jurisdiction of such courts.

9.3 Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting us.

9.4 Arbitration Location and Fees. The arbitration will be conducted in a mutually agreed-upon location or, if the parties cannot agree, in the county and state in which you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration.

9.5 No Class Actions. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You agree that you will not participate in any class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this Agreement.10.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less expensive than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and us in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND WE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

9.6 You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from any claim, demand, or damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Services or your violation of these Terms, including any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms.

This section requires you to indemnify us and hold us and our affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from any claim, demand, or damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Services or your violation of these Terms. This includes any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms.

9.7 We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.
