       American Arbitration Association
       800-778-7879
       (toll-free) Website: www.adr.org

       A single, neutral arbitrator will resolve Claims. The arbitrator will be either a lawyer with at least ten (10) years’ experience or a retired or former judge, selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will follow the procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association which are in effect on the date the arbitration is filed unless those procedures and rules are inconsistent with this Agreement, in which case this Agreement will prevail. Those procedures and rules may limit the discovery available to the parties. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential information if requested to do so by the parties. Each party to the arbitration will bear the expense of that party's attorneys, experts, and witnesses, and other expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines. The arbitrator's award is final and binding on the parties unless either party appeals it in writing within fifteen (15) days of notice of the award. The appeal must request a new arbitration before a panel of three neutral arbitrators designated by the American Arbitration Association. An award by a panel is final and binding on the parties after fifteen (15) days has passed.

       In the event this arbitration clause is not enforceable by the specified arbitration organization, the parties will mutually agree upon another arbitration organization that will enforce this clause.

    3. Limitation for Bringing Claims.   Customer agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Customer claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Bitly Products, Bitly Metrics or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim of action arose or be forever banned.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
    1. Relationship of the Parties.   The parties shall be independent contractors under this Agreement, and nothing herein will constitute either party as the employer, employee, agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.
    2. Entire Agreement and Severability.   This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between the parties with respect thereto. No additional or conflicting terms set out on Customer order, invoice, statement or other document, or contained in any “shrinkwrap” or “clickwrap” agreements, are binding. If any provision of this Agreement are found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
    3. Force Majeure.   Bitly shall not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform Bitly’s obligations hereunder where such delay or failure results from any cause beyond Bitly’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, cyber-attacks, mechanical, electronic or communications failures, acts of God, terrorism, war, natural disasters, failure of any telecommunications or transportation or of any third party provider or supplier (e.g., host or app store providers) or labor disputes.
    4. Assignment.   This Agreement is personal to Customer, and is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Customer except with Bitly’s prior written consent. Any attempt to do so without Bitly’s prior written consent is void. Bitly may assign, transfer, sublicense or delegate any of Bitly’s rights and obligations hereunder without consent.
    5. Notices.   Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when sent, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.
    6. Headings; Interpretation.   The section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation. Any use of “including” “for example” or “such as” in this Agreement shall be read as being followed by “without limitation.”
    7. Export.   The parties shall comply with all applicable export and import control laws and regulations, and, in particular, shall not export or re-export the Bitly Products without all required United States and foreign government licenses.
    8. Government Use.   The Bitly Products are "commercial items" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Any access to or use of the Bitly Products by any government entity is prohibited, except as expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

If Customer uses the Bitly Products in its official capacity as an employee or representative of a U.S., state or local government entity and is legally unable to accept the indemnity, jurisdiction, venue or other clauses herein, then those clauses do not apply to such entity, but only to the extent as required by applicable law.
    9. Publicity.   Customer may not use Bitly’s logos or trademarks in any manner without Bitly’s prior written permission, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Customer grants Bitly the right to use Customer’s logos or trademarks in any case studies or marketing or publicity materials and on its website to identify Customer as a customer that uses the Bitly Services.
