You agree not to settle any such claim without iotGizmo’s prior written consent. iotGizmo will use reasonable efforts to notify You of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
iotGizmo and You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims (“Dispute”) that arise from or relate to these Terms or the Products or Services in any way. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between the Parties that is created by or involves these Terms or the Products or Services, regardless of the legal theory; claims that arose before You accepted these Terms (such as claims related to disclosures or the marketing of the Products or Services or the process for seeking approval to use the Products or Services;claims that may arise after the termination of Your use of the Products or Services or any agreement between us; claims for mental or emotional distress or other emotional/mental injury arising from the relationship between us; and claims brought by or against iotGizmo’s respective subsidiaries, parent companies, members, affiliates, as well as the respective officers, directors, employees, managers, advisors, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns of these entities, You, and iotGizmo.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH (I) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY; (II) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND (III) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST THE OTHER.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude either of us from bringing an individualized action in small claims court. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms also do not preclude either Party from litigating in court to compel arbitration, seek an individualized preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator in any court that has jurisdiction. Nor does this arbitration agreement bar You from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against iotGizmo on Your behalf. In addition, You or iotGizmo may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect Your or its trade secrets and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss or damage to its services in any court with competent jurisdiction. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
If either Party intends to seek arbitration of a Dispute, that Party must provide the other with notice in writing. The notice to iotGizmo should be sent to: iotGizmo Corporation, 255 Old New Brunswick Rd, Suite N350, Piscataway, NJ, 08854. iotGizmo will send notice to You at the email and/or mailing addresses associated with Your Account. Your notice to iotGizmo must (i) provide Your name, mailing address, and email address; (ii) describe the Dispute; and (iii) state the relief You are requesting. If we are unable to reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiations within 90 days after the notice is received, You or iotGizmo may commence arbitration.
The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at
www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1 800 778 7879. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider or the court shall appoint a substitute. Unless You and iotGizmo both agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA. If the value of Your claim is $10,000 or less, iotGizmo agrees that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing. If the value of Your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforce ability of this arbitration provision or the arbitrability of Disputes are for the court to decide. The arbitrator may consider but is not bound by rulings in other arbitrations between iotGizmo and iotGizmo users. The arbitrator can award the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
The AAA’s fee schedule is subject to change and may be found in the AAA Rules (available online at
www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1 800 778 7879). iotGizmo will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration that iotGizmo commences. If You commence arbitration against iotGizmo, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules (unless the law of Your state requires iotGizmo to pay all such fees). If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the arbitrator may direct You to reimburse iotGizmo for any amounts that iotGizmo paid on Your behalf.
The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND IOTGIZMO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless all affected parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA. and the parties hereby consent to waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction of such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms.
The parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (i) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (ii) any Dispute relating to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for injunctive relief. Such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site or Products or Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, iotGizmo may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its confidential information and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to its servers in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Term and Termination
These Terms shall remain in full force and effect so long as You continue to access or use the Products or Services, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms.

In addition to terminating or suspending Your Account, iotGizmo reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal and injunctive redress.
If You transfer a Product to a new owner, Your right to use the Services with respect to that Product automatically terminates, and the new owner will have no right to use the Product or Services under Your Account and will need to register for a separate Account with iotGizmo and accept these Terms. Upon termination of these Terms, Your Account and Your right to use the Services will automatically terminate.
Governing Law
These Terms, and any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief arising out of or relating to these Terms or Your use of the Products and Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA. without giving effect to any conflict of laws that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS IN OR FOR MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, USA. FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING OR ARBITRATING ALL SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.
Entire Agreement / Severability
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between You and iotGizmo regarding the use of the Services and purchase of the Products. Any failure by iotGizmo to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between You and iotGizmo as a result of these Terms or Your use of the Products and/or Services.
