arising from the relationship between the parties to this Agreement, excluding
any laws that direct the application of another jurisdiction’s laws. In any
litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding by which one party either seeks to
enforce its rights under this Agreement (whether in contract, tort, or both) or
seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be awarded its reasonable attorney fees, and cost and expenses
incurred, subject to the Limitation of Liabilities clause. The parties consent
to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the City of Newport
News, State of Virginia or to any Federal Court located within the City of
Newport News, State of Virginia. ARBITRATION Any legal controversy or legal claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or our services shall be settled by binding
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy
or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be
consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other
party. The arbitration shall be conducted in Newport News, Virginia, as the
parties to this agreement agree to be governed by the laws of Virginia. Either
party may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent

from arbitration shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, which shall

panel may apportion between the parties, as said arbitrator may deem equitable,
the cost incurred by either party. Should either party file an action contrary to this
provision, the other party may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to one
thousand ($1000) dollars. SEVERABILITY If any provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall
continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of
this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision
it would become valid or enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be
written, construed, and enforced as so limited. SURVIVABILITY The terms of this Agreement apply to those obligations that
survive any cancellation, termination, or rescission, namely -
confidentiality/non-disclosure, warranty, indemnification, liability and limits
thereon, rights and obligations upon and following termination and assignment. INDEMNIFICATION You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Small
Business Hoster.com against any and all claims, losses, liability costs and
expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from
your violation of these Terms and Conditions or any third-party’s rights,

party right). The terms of this section shall survive the termination of your
relationship with Small Business Hoster.com. HEADINGS Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way
