Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by law. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Third Party Sites and Apps.

Some links in the Electronic Platforms may navigate you away from the Electronic Platforms or redirect you to other websites, including websites operated by third parties. The linked third-party websites are not under our control, and the content available on the linked third-party websites does not necessarily reflect our opinion or imply our recommendation or endorsement of the linked third-party website or the opinions expressed therein. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any other websites. Please be aware that those websites may collect information from or about you as well as about your visit. You should review the terms of use and privacy policies that are posted on any website that you visit, before using any linked websites.

We are providing these links to other Internet sites as a convenience to you, and access to any other Internet sites linked to the Electronic Platforms is at your own risk. We are under no obligation to maintain any link on the Electronic Platforms, and we may remove a link at any time in our sole discretion for any reason whatsoever. We will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or losses caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on such content, products, services or other materials available on or through any such website or for any action you may take as a result of linking to any such website.

14. No Fiduciary Relationship. 

Except to the extent set forth in a separate agreement between you and us, there is no fiduciary relationship between you and us. These Terms do not create any relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or employer and employee, between you and us. You may not enter into any contract on our behalf or bind us in any way.

15. Right to Monitor. 

We reserve the right to actively monitor the use of the Electronic Platforms and use any information gathered during such monitoring for any permissible purpose under our Privacy Notice. Additionally, we may, at any time as we deem appropriate, remove any materials from the Electronic Platforms that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject us to liability, may violate these Terms, or are, in our sole discretion, inconsistent with our purpose for the Electronic Platforms.

16. Electronic Communications and Notice. 

When you send e-mails to us or otherwise contact us, you are communicating with us electronically and you consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail at the address we have on file for you (if any), sending you messages through the mobile application we provide, or by posting notices on the Electronic Platforms. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You further agree that any notices provided by us electronically are deemed to be given and received on the date we transmit any such electronic communication as described in these Terms.

All notices required or permitted under these Terms to us will be in writing and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by reputable oversight courier, or by hand delivery, provided that we may provide written notice to you through electronic communications as described in the paragraph immediately above. The notice address for Michelin North America, Inc. is 1 Parkway South, Greenville SC 29615. Any notice sent in the manner sent forth above shall be deemed sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder (i) in the case of certified mail, on the second business day after deposited in the U.S. mail, and (ii) in the case of overnight courier or hand delivery, upon delivery. We may change our notice address by giving written notice to you by the means specified in this Section.

17. Use Outside of the United States or Canada; Choice of Law; and Venue.

The Electronic Platforms are operated by us from our offices within the United States of America and Canada. We make no representation that the information in the Electronic Platforms is appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to the Electronic Platforms from territories where the contents of the Electronic Platforms may be illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Electronic Platforms from other locations do so, on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

By using the Electronic Platforms, regardless of where you live or are in the world, you consent to these Terms and any claims relating to the information, services or products made available through the Electronic Platforms will be governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, U.S.A., excluding the application of its conflicts of law rules. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Greenville County, South Carolina for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our intellectual property rights as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Greenville, South Carolina is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief. For any dispute, you agree to first contact us at privacy.amn@michelin.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Michelin has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in Greenville, South Carolina, unless you and Michelin agree otherwise and shall be kept confidential and conducted on an expedited schedule. The non-prevailing party shall pay all costs of the arbitration or other legal proceedings, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the prevailing party. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section will be deemed as preventing Michelin from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.

18. Class Action/Jury Waiver.

With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have participated in our services for personal, commercial or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Michelin are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

19. Time Limit on Claims Against Us.

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your use of the Electronic Platforms or your relationship with us must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

20. Severability and Waiver.

If any provision of these Terms will be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Our failure to enforce the strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provisions of these Terms.

21. Assignment.

We may assign these Terms or any part of them without restriction or condition. You may not assign or otherwise transfer these Term or your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent and any assignment in violation of this prohibition will be null and void.

22. Our Remedies.

You agree that any violation, or threatened violation, by you of these Terms constitutes an unlawful and unfair business practice that will cause us irreparable and unquantifiable harm. You also agree that monetary damages would be inadequate for such harm and consent to our obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that we deem necessary or appropriate. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity.

23. App Provider Terms.

The following terms apply to any App accessed through or downloaded from any App Provider. You acknowledge and agree that:

(I) These Terms are concluded between you and Michelin, and not with the App Provider, and that Michelin (not the App Provider), is solely responsible for the App.

(ii) To the extent you obtain an App from the Apple App Store, any licenses granted hereunder for the use of the App are limited to a license to use the App on any Apple-Platformed Products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via family sharing or volume purchasing.

(iii) Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by the App Provider, the App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

(iv) You may notify the App Provider in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, and the App Provider will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if applicable) and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. To the extent that Michelin is not the App Provider, any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses other than the purchase price attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Michelin in accordance with these Terms.

(v) The App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including, but not limited to: (A) product liability claims; (B) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; or (C) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

(vi) In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of that App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Michelin, and not App Provider, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.

(vii) You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

(viii) You must also comply with all applicable third-party terms of service when using the App.

(ix) The App Provider, and its subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

(x) You further agree to comply with the App Providers’ terms and conditions: (a) Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (available at: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html); and (b) Google Play Terms of Service (available at: https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/index.html), which are incorporated herein and made a part of these Terms by this reference.
