Dakota shall also have the right to restrict, refuse or ban any and all current or future use of any other Service that may be provided by Dakota. The penalties that Dakota may impose include, among others, warning, removing any product listing or other User Content (as defined below) that the user has submitted, posted or displayed, imposing restrictions on the number of product listings that the user may post or display, or imposing restrictions on the user’s use of any features or functions of any Service for such period as Dakota may consider appropriate in our sole discretion.

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the Terms, a user would be considered as being in breach of the Terms in any of the following circumstances:

Dakota reserves the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by the user, in which event the user shall cooperate with Dakota in asserting any available defenses.

7. Transactions Made Through The Services

Dakota provides electronic web-based platforms for communicating and exchanging information between investment managers, analysts and other qualified market participants. As such, Dakota does not represent any user in any specific activity through the Services and is not responsible for the communications or information exchanged between users. However, in certain, limited circumstances, certain of Dakota’s affiliates may have relationships with and provide other services to certain users of the Services. Such services are separate from the Services and the Dakota does not provide or bear any responsibility for any such services. Dakota does not control and is not liable to or responsible for the quality, safety, lawfulness or availability of the products offered for sale or described through the Services.

Users are advised that there may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretenses when interacting with people over the Internet, including through the Services. Dakota uses several techniques to verify the accuracy of certain information our users provide us when they register for a membership service on the Services. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Dakota cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity, whether or not such user is a paying customer. For this reason, users are solely responsible for selecting and confirming the identity of others uses with who they desire to communicate with through the Services. We encourage you to use various means, as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom you are dealing.

Each user acknowledges that it is fully assuming the risks of conducting any communications or transactions in connection with using the Services, and that it is fully assuming the risks of liability or harm of any kind in connection with subsequent activity of any kind relating to products or services that are the subject of transactions using the Services. Such risks shall include, but are not limited to, misrepresentation of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unlawful products, and breach of contract. Such risks also include the risks that the distribution, display, and use of User Content displayed on the Services may violate or may be asserted to violate any Third Party Rights (as defined below), and the risk that user may incur costs of defense or other costs in connection with third parties’ assertion of Third Party Rights, or in connection with any claims by any party that they are entitled to defense or indemnification in relation to assertions of rights, demands or claims by claimants of Third Party Rights. All of the foregoing risks are hereafter referred to as "Transaction Risks." Each user agrees that Dakota shall not be liable or responsible for any damages, claims, liabilities, costs, harms, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind that may arise as a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks.

The Services are not intended to be used, and may not be used by users, to assess, negotiate or consummate any transactions of any kind between users, but instead provides a method to facilitate the exchange of information between users. Accordingly, users are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions of the transactions between them and any other users of the Services or any transactions arising as a result of use of the Services, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, fees, and taxes.

Each user agrees to provide all information and materials as may be reasonably required by Dakota in connection with such user’s use of the Services. Dakota has the right to suspend or terminate any user’s account if the user fails to provide the required information and materials.

In the event that any user has a dispute with any party to a transaction, such user agrees to release and indemnify Dakota (and our agents, affiliates, directors, officers and employees) from all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, costs, expenses and damages (including without limitation any actual, special, incidental or consequential damages) arising out of or in connection with such transaction.

The Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation or in connection with any disputes relating to a party’s intellectual property rights or for equitable remedies, any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Such arbitration shall be conducted exclusively in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the parties irrevocably consent to such arbitration in such location. Judgment upon the award or decision rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial recognition of the arbitration award or an order of enforcement thereof, as the case may be. This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable by the parties, and, except as provided herein, they confirm that they intend that all disputes, controversies or claims of any kind shall be arbitrated.
