You represent and warrant that Your use of the Website and Services will be in accordance with this Agreement and any other Ancestry Discover Reports policies, and with any applicable laws or regulations.
Without limiting any indemnification provision of this Agreement, You (the “Indemnitor”) agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Ancestry Discover Reports and the Ancestry Discover Reports Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, causes of action, and other proceedings (collectively, “Claims”), including but not limited to legal costs and fees, and providing sole and exclusive control of the defense of any action to Ancestry Discover Reports, including the choice of legal counsel and all related settlement negotiations, arising out of or relating to: (i) the relationship between You and Ancestry Discover Reports, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (ii) Your breach of this Agreement, including without limitation any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; (iii) Your access to or use of the Website or Services; (iv) Your provision to Ancestry Discover Reports or any of the Indemnitees of information or other data; or (v) Your violation or alleged violation of any foreign or domestic, international, federal, state, or local law or regulation; or (vi) Your violation or alleged violation of any third party’s copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights.

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE INSTITUTED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER WAIVED AND BARRED. ALL ACTIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN ABOVE.
(b) Binding Arbitration
If You and Ancestry Discover Reports cannot resolve a Claim through negotiations, either party may elect to have the Claim finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s). YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT WITH A JURY TRIAL OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Ancestry Discover Reports will pay the AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. If, however, 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 set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedures 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, You hereby agree to reimburse Ancestry Discover Reports for all payments disbursed that are your obligation to reimburse under the AAA Rules. If you are unable to pay the arbitration fee, Ancestry Discover Reports will pay it directly upon receiving a written request and a sworn statement that you are unable to pay. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to resolve, except that issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration provision for a Court of Competent Jurisdiction to resolve. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through document submission, through telephone, or online. The arbitrator will issue a decision in writing but need only provide a statement of reasons if requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Ancestry Discover Reports may litigate to compel arbitration in court, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
(c) Restrictions Against Joinder of Claims
You and Ancestry Discover Reports agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each Claim individually. YOU AND ANCESTRY DISCOVER REPORTS HEREBY AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN YOUR OR ANCESTRY DISCOVERREPORT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then, to the full extent allowable under applicable law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration, and (2) there is no right for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures, and (3) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.
(d) Remedies in Aid of Arbitration; Equitable Relief
This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or Ancestry Discover Reports from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration or confirm an arbitral award, from a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude You or Ancestry Discover Reports from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. As used herein, “Court of Competent Jurisdiction” means any federal or state court that has jurisdiction over the subject matter.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Ancestry Discover Reports and You concerning Your use of the Website and Services. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of Ancestry Discover Reports or by the unilateral amendment of this Agreement by Ancestry Discover Reports and by the posting by Ancestry Discover Reports of such amended version. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. This Agreement and all of Your rights and obligations hereunder will not be assignable or transferable by You without the prior written consent of Ancestry Discover Reports. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns. You and Ancestry Discover Reports are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Except for the Ancestry Discover Reports Parties and the Indemnified Parties as and to the extent set forth in Sections 8, 14, 16a, 18, 20e, and 23 and in this paragraph, and Ancestry discoverReport’s licensors and suppliers as to the extent expressly stated in this Agreement, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or infringement of proprietary or other third-party rights by You would cause irreparable injury to Ancestry Discover Reports and Ancestry discoverReport’s licensors and suppliers, and would, therefore, entitle Ancestry Discover Reports or Ancestry discoverReport’s licensors or suppliers, as the case may be, to injunctive relief. The headings in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not limit, enlarge, or affect any of the covenants, terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement.
