TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HUSHME AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE HUSHME SITES, ALL CONTENTS THEREON, AND SUPPORT SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND TITLE.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

You agree that the laws of Ukraine, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, shall govern both these Terms and any dispute that might arise between you and Hushme in relation to your use of the Hushme Sites and these Terms.

You also agree that any disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the International Commercial Arbitration Court (“ICAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the International Commercial Arbitration Court (“ICAC”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The seat of the arbitration shall be Ukraine. The Tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

If you are a consumer based in the European Union, the preceding paragraph on arbitration does not apply, and you may make a claim in a competent court of the country in which you reside.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT, SEVERABILITY, WAIVER, ASSIGNMENT

These Terms and other legal notices published by Hushme on the Hushme Sites applicable to an activity you engage in shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Hushme concerning the Hushme Sites. If any of the provisions of these Terms shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver, and Hushme’s failure to assert any right under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right. You agree that any cause of action arising out of or relating to the Hushme Sites must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, and otherwise is permanently barred. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, but Hushme may assign these Terms without restriction.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Hushme, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost, damages, liability and expense arising out of or relating to your use of the Hushme Sites and/or any action by you which violates any law, regulation or rights of a third party.
