1. Introduction and Defined Terms

Cloud Funding helps qualified small business owners find business financing solutions through its network of approved lenders and finance providers. Cloud Funding is not a lender or finance provider and does not underwrite, approve, fund or collect on loans or other financial solutions.

Other words and phrases may be defined within the Terms in the context of their usage. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” are to be read as if they were followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

15. Miscellaneous

1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be treated as though they were executed and performed in Wyoming and shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Wyoming (without regard to conflict of law principles). Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved in a binding arbitration under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association or JAMS in Wyoming under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or JAMS commercial rules. Besides all other rights and remedies a party may have, the prevailing party in any arbitration or legal action shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This binding arbitration provision shall not, however, prevent either party from seeking equitable or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
2. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR CLOUD FUNDING WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. FURTHERMORE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE AGAINST ANY LENDER TO WHOM YOU ARE REFERRED HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
3. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
4. Other. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the Terms will survive termination of your registration to the Service. The failure of Cloud Funding to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms constitutes no waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
