The Website, Materials, Services, Players Club, other Services, and related communications are provided “as is” without any representations or warranties, express or implied, of any kind, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, non-infringement, or fitness for a particular purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions of implied warranties may not be applicable under certain circumstances. North Metro also does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the materials, including but not limited to the reliability of any advice, statement, or other information displayed or distributed through Website. You acknowledge by the use of Website that any reliance on any such materials, advice, statement, or information shall be at your sole risk.

North Metro assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable for any damages to, or viruses that may infect, your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing in Website (including any bulletin board and chat room) or your downloading of any materials from Website.

THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES, AS WELL AS ALL MATERIALS, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS, AS AVAILABLE.”  ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. NORTH METRO WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF ANY KIND FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON MATERIAL OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE WEBSITE OR NORTH METRO. NORTH METRO CANNOT AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE, CONTENT, SERVICES, OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS’ SERVERS ARE FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

IN NO EVENT AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NORTH METRO BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE NORTH METRO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES.

YOU AGREE TO INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS NORTH METRO AND ITS EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, INSURERS, AND AGENTS FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, DISPUTES, OR LIABILITIES RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE CAUSED BY YOUR BREACH OF THESE TERMS.

WAIVERS, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, AND ARBITTATION REQUIREMENTS ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL SERVICES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PLAYERS CLUB AND ANY GAMING ACTIVITY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so these limitations may not apply to you. All exceptions or waivers deemed unenforceable shall be severed to the minimum extent required to permit survivability of the maximum remainder of these Terms.

You agree that to the fullest extent permitted by law all disputes, claims, suits, or controversies arising out of or in any way connected with these Terms and the use of the Website (collectively, “Disputes”), shall be resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding, and (to the extent permitted by law) CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION conducted by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) before a single arbitrator in Minnesota, in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules then in effect (provided that, if such rules conflict with this paragraph in any manner, the terms of this paragraph shall control).  The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of all claims and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award.  The parties acknowledge that, by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both parties waive the right to resolve any claims through a trial by jury or judge or by administrative proceeding.  This agreement to arbitrate does not extend to Disputes in which either party seeks (i) injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, (ii) the right to pursue enforcement actions through applicable U.S. federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, or (iii) injunctive relief in a U.S. court of law. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration proceedings and decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be kept confidential (and may not be disclosed) by the parties or the arbitrator(s), except to the extent necessary to compel any award made by the arbitrator(s). Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.  

Any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.  There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.  Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals. 

In the event the provisions in this Dispute Resolution section are held invalid or unenforceable, then this Dispute Resolution section, in its entirety, will cease to apply, and the parties will not be obligated to arbitrate any Disputes.
