Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Horizon Actuarial, its affiliates, or its or their respective directors, officers, owners, employees, contractors, representatives, consultants, agents, suppliers, or licensors (together, “Horizon Actuarial Parties”) be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss or damage, or any other loss or damage of any kind, arising out of or in connection with any services or the Site or your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Site (including without limitation the input of personal and other data into the Site), whether the claim is based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, warranty, or otherwise, and even if a Horizon Actuarial Party has express knowledge of the possibility of the loss or damage. 

Your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop accessing and using the Site.  Without limiting the foregoing, in no event will Horizon Actuarial Parties’ liability to you exceed $100, even if this remedy fails of its essential purpose.  Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

​

Arbitration Agreement;  Class Waiver;  Waiver of Trail By Jury

Please read the following paragraphs carefully because they require you to arbitrate disputes with Horizon Actuarial and limit the manner in which you can seek relief from us. 

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.

1. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity hereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate (hereinafter, collectively, the “Dispute”), which cannot be resolved informally, shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms set forth below (the “Arbitration Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any actual, alleged or threatened violation of confidentiality or violation of the Horizon Actuarial’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights, Horizon Actuarial may immediately resort to court proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth above in order to seek immediate injunctive relief without posting of a bond, proof of damages or other similar requirement. The institution of any action for injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.

2. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Horizon Actuarial, and to any of our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors in interest, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Site provided under the Terms.

Arbitrator.  The arbitration proceeding will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before an arbitrator selected pursuant to the AAA rules.  The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding.  Any final award or judgment may be filed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The parties shall share equally in the costs assessed for the arbitration, and each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs.  Any arbitration proceeding may not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding and will not proceed as a class action.  The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, and to participate in a class action or other proceeding involving multiple claimants, but they instead choose and agree to have all disputes as set forth herein decided through individual arbitration.

Place.  The place of arbitration shall be in Dunwoody, Georgia unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties to the arbitration. The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1–16, shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.  The parties expressly agree that any and all actions taken under the Arbitration Agreement and related provisions, including but not limited to all filings, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party.

Survival.  This Arbitration Agreement provision will survive the termination of these Terms.

Time Limitation on Claims.  The parties agree that they must initiate arbitration within one (1) year after any Dispute arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred.

​

Miscellaneous

We may assign our rights and delegate our duties under these Terms at any time to any party without notice to you. You may not assign your rights or delegate your duties under these Terms without our prior written consent.  These Terms do not confer any rights, remedies, or benefits upon any person other than you and Horizon Actuarial, except that our affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. These Terms, including our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Horizon Actuarial with respect to your access to and use of the Site. Horizon Actuarial’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.  Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Horizon Actuarial.  If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from the remaining provisions and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.  These Terms inure to the benefit of Horizon Actuarial’s successors and assigns.  Any provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive termination (including any provisions regarding indemnification, limitation of our liability, or dispute resolution) will continue in effect beyond any termination of these Terms or of your access to or use of the Site.  These Terms and any other documentation, agreements, notices, or communications between you and Horizon Actuarial may be provided to you electronically to the extent permissible by law.  Please print or otherwise save a copy of all documentation, agreements, notices, and other communications for your reference.
