In addition to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, certain of our services offered through the Sites, such as your ability to submit requests for commercial financing and related services, will be subject to, and governed by, separate terms and conditions or contracts that will be provided to you, and that you must agree to, in connection with those requests or transactions. To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and a transaction-specific agreement, the transaction-specific agreement will govern.

THE SITES (INCLUDING SITE CONTENT, USER CONTENT, SERVICES, AND WEBSITES LINKED TO THE SITE) ARE MADE AVAILABLE “AS IS,” “AT YOUR OWN RISK,” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ENJOYMENT. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT THE SITES ARE UP-TO-DATE, ACCURATE, OR COMPLETE, AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THEM FOR ANY DECISION OR TO TAKE ANY ACTION. Capital Gurus DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITES WILL MEET THE USER’S REQUIREMENTS AND/OR ARE FREE OF INTERRUPTION OR ERRORS, OR THAT ANY OF THE SITES IS FREE OF VIRUSES, WORMS, BUGS, OR OTHER MALICIOUS TECHNOLOGY.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Capital Gurus (INCLUDING ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, COSTS OR ATTORNEY’S FEES) ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THESE TERMS OF USE, ACCESS TO, USE OF OR THE OPERATION OF ANY SITE, ANY OF THE SITE CONTENT OR USER CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Capital Gurus (including any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives) from and against all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, demands, damages, expenses, and costs (including attorney’s fees) (collectively the “Claims”) arising out of or relating to: (i) your access to or use of the Sites or Services; (ii) your violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); and (iii) your breach of any of these Terms of Use.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT (a) MAY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH Capital Gurus; (b) PRECLUDES YOU FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL; AND (c) REQUIRES THAT ANY DISPUTES BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Arbitration Procedures. All Disputes submitted to the AAA will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before a single arbitrator agreed to by the parties, and shall be conducted in accordance with this provision and AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect when the claim is filed, except where those rules conflict with this arbitration provision. The most recent version of the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules is available on the AAA website. In arbitration, either party may choose to participate in any hearing by phone or other electronic means and/or be represented by counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any in-person hearings shall be conducted in Arlington, Commonwealth of Virginia. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to any applicable principals of conflicts of law. The arbitrator shall make any award in writing and, if requested by either party, shall include a reasoned opinion for the award. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right.
Arbitration Limits. All Disputes (including claims brought as part of a class action, private attorney general or other representative action) can be arbitrated only on an individual basis. The arbitrator has no authority to arbitrate any Dispute on a class or representative basis and may award relief only on an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate two or more existing arbitrations into a single proceeding or to join additional parties to an ongoing arbitration, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties; provided, however, that co-applicants, authorized users of the same account, and corporate affiliates or entities under common ownership or control of a party are deemed one person for purposes of this provision. Additionally, the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages, consequential damages, or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as required by statute or allowed under any agreement between the parties.
Paying for Arbitration Fees. Arbitration fees will be allocated according to the applicable AAA Rules. All parties are responsible for their own attorney’s fees, expert fees, and any other expenses unless the arbitrator awards such fees or expenses to a prevailing party based on a contract between the parties or applicable law.
The Final Award. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and binding on the parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction, and any court where a party or its assets is located (to which jurisdiction the parties consent for the purposes of enforcing such award), unless a party appeals such award in writing to the AAA within 30 days of notice of the award pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules. The arbitration appeal shall be determined by a panel of three arbitrators. The panel will consider all facts and legal issues anew based on the same evidence presented in the prior arbitration and will make decisions based on a majority vote. Arbitration fees for the arbitration appeal shall be allocated according to the applicable AAA Rules. All parties are responsible for their own attorney’s fees, expert fees, and any other expenses unless the panel awards such fees or expenses to the prevailing party based on a contract between the parties or applicable law. An award by a panel on appeal is final. A final award is subject to judicial review as provided by applicable law.
By accessing or using the Sites, you agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) at any time arising out of and/or in any way related to the access or use of the Sites or these Terms of Use is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (to the extent not preempted by federal law), without regard to internal principles of conflict of laws.
