BUSINESS BID or its affiliates may impose the limitations on or suspend or terminate the use of a Registered User’s Account at any time by giving no less than 24-hour notice to the Registered User; provided, however, that notice is not required for such termination if (a) in BUSINESS BID’s determination, there is any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and other terms, rules and policies for the uses of any services on a Service by the Registered User; or (b) BUSINESS BID has reasonable grounds to suspect that any information provided by a Registered User is untrue, inaccurate or is not current or complete, or (c) BUSINESS BID believes that the Registered User’s actions may cause financial loss or legal liability to such Registered User, BUSINESS BID’s other Users, or BUSINESS BID or its affiliates. If the Registered User is in breach of any provisions of this Agreement or other terms, rules and policies for uses of any services of a Service, BUSINESS BID also reserves the right to publish the records of such breach on a Service. If such breach involves any dishonest or fraudulent activities, BUSINESS BID also reserves the right to disclose the records of such breach to its affiliates and to request such affiliate to impose limitations on, suspect or terminate the Registered User’s of all or part of the services provided by such affiliates and to take other remedial actions such as to publish the records of such breach on the websites operated by or controlled by BUSINESS BID’s affiliates.
BUSINESS BID may at any time, in its reasonable discretion, impose limitations on suspend or terminate the use of a Registered User’s Account without being liable to the Registered User if the Registered User is in breach of any agreement or undertaking with any affiliate of BUSINESS BID upon written notice by such affiliate and such breach involves dishonest or fraudulent activities. BUSINESS BID shall have the right to publish the records of such breach on a Service. BUSINESS BID shall not be required to investigate such breach or request confirmation from the Registered User.
A Registered User may not sell, attempt to sell, offer to sell, give, assign or otherwise transfer an Account, User ID or Password to a third party without the prior written consent of BUSINESS BID.

You represent and warrant you have the right and ability to provide any such Access Information.

Under no circumstances shall BUSINESS BID be held liable for an delay or failure or disruption of the content or services delivered through the Service resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature, forces or causes beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, Internet failures, computer, telecommunications or any other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labor disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labor or materials, fires, flood, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental actions, orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals or non-performance of third parties.

The unauthorized copying, modification, use or publication of these marks is strictly prohibited.
First Try Customer Support. If you have any issues with the Service or BUSINESS BID, you must try to resolve the issue first through BUSINESS BID customer support.
Agreement to Arbitrate. If the parties are not able to the dispute through BUSINESS BID customer support, you and BUSINESS BID agree to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement, or under BUSINESS BID’s Privacy Policy, or in relation to the Service by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California, or in another location that both parties agree to. This applies to all claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one of the exceptions below. It also applies even after you have stopped using your BUSINESS BID account or have deleted it. If the parties have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to such dispute, the parties agree that the arbitrator will decide that too.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. You and BUSINESS BID agree that the parties will go to court to resolve disputes relating to your or BUSINESS BID’s intellectual property (e.g., trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents). Also, either party can bring a claim in small claims court either in San Francisco, California, or the county where you live, or some other place both parties agree on, if it qualifies to be brought in that court. In addition, if either party brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or either party refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other party can ask a court to force the parties to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). Either party may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
Prior to filing any arbitration, both parties jointly agree to seek to resolve any dispute between the parties by mediation conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), with all mediator fees and expenses paid equally by the parties. If mediation is not successful, either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding with AAA. You can look at AAA’s rules and procedures on their website http://www.adr.org or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be governed by the then-current version of AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) and will be held with a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules. To the extent anything described in this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the Rules, the language of this agreement to arbitrate applies.
Each party will be entitled to get a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party and to take a reasonable number of depositions. All such discovery will be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. This agreement to arbitrate does not alter in any way the statute of limitations that would apply to any claims or counterclaims asserted by either party.
The arbitrator’s award will be based on the evidence admitted and the substantive law of the State of California and the United States, as applicable, and will contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award will provide in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for such award. The arbitrator will not be entitled to modify this Agreement.
Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding on the parties. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver. Both you and BUSINESS BID agree that any claims or controversies between the parties must be brought against each other on an individual basis only. That means neither you nor BUSINESS BID can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s or entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless both parties agree otherwise). And, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other BUSINESS BID customers, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers. If a court decides that this class action waiver is not enforceable or valid, then the entire agreement to arbitrate will be null and void, but the rest of this Agreement will still apply.
You may not remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of the Services or anything related thereto, or any direct product thereof in violation of any restrictions, laws or regulations of the United States Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other United States or foreign agency or authority.
