You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless UFLIC from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any of the following: (i) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms; (ii) your use of the website; (iii) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities; (iv) your violation of the rights of any third party including any intellectual property, publicity, confidentiality, property, or privacy right; or (v) any misrepresentation made by you.

Jurisdiction and venue for any controversy, allegation, or claim arising out of or relating to this website’s Content or these Terms of Use (collectively, “Dispute”) shall be in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Each party submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for any and all purposes.
UFLIC and you agree that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any Disputes before formal proceedings are initiated; provided, however, that UFLIC need not do so in circumstances where its claims of Intellectual Property rights are concerned (“IP Disputes,” with all other disputes referred to as “General Disputes”). The party making a claim – whether you or UFLIC – shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief. If UFLIC is making a claim, the letter shall be sent, via email, to the email address listed in your UFLIC account, as applicable. If no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no notification or delay obligations under this section. If you are making a claim, the letter shall be sent to: 13931 Quail Pointe Drive, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notification, the claimant may proceed to initiate proceedings as set forth in this section. Either you or UFLIC may, however, seek provisional remedies (such as preliminary injunctive relief) subject to this section before the expiration of this sixty (60)-day period.
Unless you give us notice of opt-out within five (5) business days of your first use of our products or services, addressed to: 13931 Quail Pointe Drive, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134, all actions or proceedings arising in connection with, touching upon or relating to any Dispute, or the scope of the provisions of this section, shall be submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, before a single arbitrator. If the matter in dispute is between UFLIC and a consumer, the matter shall be submitted to JAMS in accordance with its Policy on Consumer Arbitration Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. We may have the right to pay the JAMS fees if required for arbitration to be enforceable. The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public; provided, however, that a party may disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to its and its affiliates’ lawyers, insurance providers, auditors and other professional advisers. The fact that there is a dispute between the parties that is the subject of arbitration shall be confidential to the same extent. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. Neither party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration as herein provided and then only for the enforcement of the arbitrator’s award; provided, however, that prior to the appointment of the arbitrator or for remedies beyond the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, at any time, either party may seek pendente lite relief (subject to the provisions of these Terms of Use waiving or limiting that relief) in a court of competent jurisdiction in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, or, if sought by UFLIC, such other court that may have jurisdiction over you, without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of the dispute or controversy under this section; provided further, however, that the losing party shall have fifteen (15) business days after the issuance of the arbitrator’s decision to fully comply with such decision, after which the prevailing party may enforce such decision by a petition to the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, or, in the case of you, such other court having jurisdiction over you, which may be made ex parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award. To the extent there are any challenges to the arbitrability of a claim, the arbitrator shall determine any and all such challenges.
AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS (WITHOUT LIMITATION) THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF THE SERVICES, CONTENT, PRODUCT, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED, OR CONTROLLED BY ANY UFLIC PARTY OR A LICENSOR OF ANY UFLIC PARTY.
These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the state of Oklahoma without respect to any conflict of law provisions. This section however shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and UFLIC agree that we intend that this section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This section can only be amended by mutual agreement. Either party may seek enforcement of this section in any court of competent jurisdiction.
As permitted by applicable law, both you and UFLIC waive the right to bring any Dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any Dispute brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding. Notwithstanding the arbitration provision set forth above, if the provision regarding waiver of class, collective, representative, and private attorney general claims of this section is found to be void or otherwise unenforceable, any such class, collective, representative, or private attorney general claims must be heard and determined through an appropriate court proceeding, and not in arbitration.
AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claims of General Dispute (but not IP Disputes) in small claims court, subject to this section.
The provisions of this section shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the parties. This section shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of our products and services or these Terms of Use.
Our failure or delay to exercise or enforce any right, remedy or provision of these Terms of Use or by law will not operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or provision.
This is the entire understanding between you and us regarding the use of this website and our products and services, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between you and us regarding this subject matter. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
