PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS OF USE (this “Agreement”).  This Agreement is binding between you (“you” and “your”) as the end user of the Services, and cohesionIB, Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred to herein as “Cohesion”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).  By accessing and using Cohesion’s website (located at https://cohesionib.com/) or our proprietary software-supported Intelligent Building Platform (the “Platform”), including any mobile and touch versions that reference this Agreement, and our services (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and its companion Privacy Policy.

All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter.

You are encouraged to review the Terms of Use periodically for any updates.

14. Agreement to Arbitrate  

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 14 CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. 

All disputes arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement (including formation, performance, breach, enforceability, and validity of this Agreement) or our operation of the Services shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration to be held in the English language in Chicago, Illinois pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The provisions of this Section 14 constitute the parties’ written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act. 

Without prejudice to the agreement to resolve disputes in binding arbitration set forth in the previous paragraph, either party to this Agreement may obtain preliminary injunctive relief in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, located in the City of Chicago, Illinois, for the purpose of enforcing any of the terms of this Agreement pending a final determination in arbitration or permanent relief for the purpose of enforcing arbitral awards.   

The arbitrator will apply and be bound by this Agreement, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award within the time frame specified in the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of Section 11 (“Limitation of Liability”) above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. You and Cohesion also agree that the arbitrator may not award multiple or punitive damages. 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.  

EACH PARTY AGREES THAT IT SHALL BRING ANY DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. IN ADDITION, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE PROVISIONS. 

15. Third Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties and their respective successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities whatsoever. You acknowledge and agree that all Managing Third Parties are intended beneficiaries of this Agreement. You agree that you will not make any claim, and agree to be estopped against, the making of any claim against any Managing Third Party concerning the receipt of the Services.

If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court, you and Cohesion: (i) agree that any such dispute may only be instituted in a state or federal court located in Cook County, Illinois and waive any defenses or objections based on the jurisdiction, venue, or convenience of this exclusive venue; (ii) irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for resolution of such disputes; and (iii) AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. 

This Agreement and the Privacy Policy (as each may be revised and amended from time to time according to their respective terms) collectively constitute the entire agreement with respect to your access to and use of Services. Our electronically or otherwise properly stored copy of this Agreement will be deemed to be the true, complete, valid, authentic, and enforceable copy, and you agree that you will not contest the admissibility or enforceability of our copy of this Agreement in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 

If any part of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain fully in force. Our failure to enforce or exercise any provision of this Agreement or related right will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. 

You may not assign this Agreement without Cohesion’s prior written consent. This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. 

Possible evidence of use of the Site or Services for illegal purposes will be provided to law enforcement authorities.
