13. Waiver By California Residents.  IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

14. Changes.  All information posted on the Website is subject to change without notice.  In addition, these Terms and Conditions may be changed at any time without prior notice unless required by applicable law. We will make such changes by posting them on the Website and/or forwarding notices to you. You should check the Website for such changes frequently.  Your continued access of the Website after such changes conclusively demonstrates your acceptance of those changes.

15. Indemnification.  You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless HomeServe, its employees, directors, officers, agents, business partners, affiliates, contractors, distribution partners and representatives from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs or expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, arising from, or related to, any breach by you of any of these Terms and Conditions or applicable law.  

16. Severability.  If any part of these Terms and Conditions shall be held or declared to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective but shall not affect any other part of these Terms and Conditions, and in such event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.

17. Waiver; Remedies.  The failure of HomeServe to partially or fully exercise any rights or the waiver of HomeServe of any breach of these Terms and Conditions by you shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right by HomeServe or be deemed a waiver by HomeServe of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms and Conditions.  The rights and remedies of HomeServe under these Terms and Conditions and any other applicable agreement between you and HomeServe shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit HomeServe’s right to exercise any other right or remedy.


18. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.  PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, IT REQUIRES BINDING ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES INSTEAD OF LITIGATION IN COURT, AND AFFECTS LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ANY DISPUTE THAT ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT OR FROM ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, OR SERVICES OR BENEFITS YOU RECEIVE OR CLAIM TO BE OWED FROM HOMESERVE, WILL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. This arbitration agreement applies to disputes no matter when they arose, including claims that arose before You and HomeServe entered into this Agreement. This arbitration agreement also applies to disputes involving the officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, affiliates, insurers, technicians, successors or assigns of HomeServe. In addition, this arbitration agreement covers any claims or causes of action against HomeServe that You may assign or subrogate to an insurer. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act applies. Unless you and HomeServe agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county where Your Home is located.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party bringing a claim may choose to bring an individual action in small claims court instead of arbitration, so long as the claim is pursued on an individual rather than a class-wide basis, but otherwise BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PROCEED IN COURT.  THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT DOES NOT PERMIT CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. By entering into this Agreement, all parties are waiving their respective rights to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. YOU AND HOMESERVE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. You may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other parties.  HomeServe will pay any filing fee, administration, service or case management fee, and arbitrator fee that the AAA charges you for arbitration of the dispute. 

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM OR DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND HOMESERVE UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This jury trial waiver also applies to claims asserted against any of the officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, affiliates, insurers, technicians, approved technicians, successors or assigns of HomeServe. 

The laws of the State of New York shall govern these Terms and Conditions. While we will make reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements you may have with HomeServe, if these efforts fail you agree that all claims, disputes or controversies between you and the HomeServe arising out of these Terms and Conditions, or the purchase of any products or services (“Claims”) shall be exclusively submitted to binding arbitration, no matter what legal theory they are based on or what remedy (damages, or injunctive or declaratory relief) they seek. This includes Claims based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, your or our negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or any other sources of law; Claims made as counterclaims, cross-claims, third- party claims, interpleaders or otherwise; and Claims made independently or with other claims. In arbitration, as with a court, the arbitrator must honor the terms of these official rules and can award the prevailing party damages and other relief, and the parties have the right to be represented by counsel of their choice.

California and Canada Only:  If a court (or an arbitrator in Canada) decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this Section’s limitations as to a particular request for a remedy or claim for relief, then that request or claim (and only that request or claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

19. Terms Applicable to our App. We may make available a mobile application (“App”), which you are solely responsible for ensuring is properly installed on your personal device.
