Other Websites. Please note that if you use the Site to register for an online seminar, the Site may direct you away from the Site and to a third party service provider we are using to facilitate that seminar.

We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of these third parties and you should review these third-parties’ privacy policies and practices prior to providing them with personal information.
Business Transfer. As with any other business, it is possible that in the future we could merge with or be acquired by another company or entity.

We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you and we are not responsible for the data collection and privacy practices of those third parties.

This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes claims, controversies or disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use or any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, all of which shall be considered within the meaning of “dispute” herein.
WAIVER OF CLASS-WIDE PROCEEDINGS: You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Use, you and MIIA are each waiving the right to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Each party to this agreement agrees and covenants that it will not initiate any class-wide proceedings, including class actions or class arbitrations, against another party, and will not act as a class representative or class member. This provision constitutes an agreement that any dispute will be resolved exclusively on a bilateral basis between the parties, with each party acting in his/her/its individual capacity. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the Arbitrator (defined below) may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The Arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If for any reason this prohibition on class arbitration is not or cannot be enforced, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply.
Arbitration shall be conducted by and submitted to a single arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) selected from and administered by the office of JAMS (“JAMS”) in Boston or in the office nearest to the county (or parish) of your registration address in accordance with JAMS’s then-existing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall NOT be authorized to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, or pain and suffering or punitive or indirect, incidental or consequential damages—the right to all of which you hereby waive. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Arbitrator and JAMS; however, the Arbitrator may award to the prevailing party reimbursement of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including, for example, expert witness fees and travel expenses), and/or the fees and costs of the Arbitrator. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written award and a written statement of decision describing the material factual findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. Each party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of the service of the award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, you understand that you are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a claim or dispute were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this arbitration provision, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, the right bring a claim as a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and the right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.
Notwithstanding the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, the foregoing or any other provision of these Terms of Use (including this arbitration agreement), any disagreement or dispute concerning arbitrability (whether a particular dispute is arbitrable) or the scope of this arbitration agreement shall be resolved by the United States District Court for the federal district in which you reside. If that United States District Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, then any such disagreement or dispute shall be resolved by the state court of general jurisdiction embracing the area in which you reside.
By way of example only (and not by limitation), if the parties do not agree on whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration under this arbitration agreement, the proper tribunal to decide such dispute is the United States District Court (for the appropriate district, as provided above) or, absent subject matter jurisdiction in that United States District Court, in the appropriate state court (as described above). The arbitrator shall stay all arbitration proceedings pending a decision from the appropriate court on disputes under this paragraph. The Arbitrator shall follow, adhere to and defer to the decision, order, decree or judgment of the court following the court’s decision of any such dispute under this paragraph. Any action, award or partial award of the Arbitrator in contravention of this limitation may be the subject of court appeal by the aggrieved party. No other aspect of any ruling by the Arbitrator shall be appealable, and all other aspects of the Arbitrator’s ruling shall be final and non-appealable, except as set forth herein.
This agreement to arbitrate evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs its interpretation and enforcement. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of the Terms of Use. To the extent they do not conflict with the FAA, these Terms of Use are otherwise governed by the laws of Massachusetts without regard to conflicts of laws principles. Access or use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms of Use, including without limitation this paragraph.
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and MIIA as a result of these Terms of Use or accessing or using the Site. MIIA’s performance under these Terms of Use is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms of Use is in derogation of MIIA’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your access or use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by MIIA with respect to such use.
If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations contained herein, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms of Use shall continue in effect. A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms of Use, all notices, permissions and approvals shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon: (i) personal delivery, (ii) the second business day after mailing, (iii) the second business day after sending by confirmed facsimile, or (iv) the first business day after sending by email. Notices to us must be sent in writing to the following address: One Winthrop Square, Boston, MA 02110 or via email addressed to: MIIA.webmaster@mma.org, and notices to you will be sent to the email address you provide to us, which addresses may be updated from time to time upon written notice to the other party. The Content and other technology we may make available, and derivatives thereof may be subject to laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. No delay by either party in enforcing its rights shall prejudice or restrict the rights of that party, and no waiver of any such rights or of any breach of any contractual terms shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or of any later breach. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise. We may assign our rights and privileges under these Terms of Use (including your user registration), without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or to an affiliate, or in connection with a change in control. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms of Use shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
The term of these Terms of Use will continue for as long as we allow you access to and use of the Site. Sections titled “Content,” “Warranties, Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability,” “Applicable Law and Jurisdiction,” “Interpretation,” and “Indemnification,” and this Section shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms of Use.
You agree that MIIA is not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it. If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, MIIA shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
We may terminate or suspend your MIIA Account, or our App, Site, and/or Service without notice, though we will strive to provide a timely explanation in most cases. Please be aware that if we terminate service, you may be entitled to a refund if applicable. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
You may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our discretion.
We may amend this Agreement from time to time. When we amend this Agreement, we will update this page and indicate the date that it was last modified, make an announcement on our homepage or we may email you. You may refuse to agree to the amendments, but if you do, you must immediately cease using our Site and our Service.
The communications between you and MIIA use electronic means, whether you use our App, or visit the Site, or send MIIA e-mails, social media, or other messages, or whether MIIA posts notices on the App, Site, or Service or communications with you via e-mail, or social media. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from MIIA in an electronic form; (2) agree that all terms, conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that MIIA provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
