Limitation on Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL KSMTA, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KSMTA, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website, including, but not limited to, any use of the Website’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, or your use of any information obtained from the Website.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Indiana without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Indiana or any other jurisdiction).
Subject to the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver below, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the Website that is not required to be resolved through arbitration shall be instituted exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Marion County, Indiana. You waive any objection to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by, or venue in, those courts.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website, these Terms of Use, or KSMTA’s collection, use, or disclosure of information through the Website will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this provision.
Before initiating arbitration, the party asserting the dispute must provide written notice describing the dispute and requested relief and allow 30 days for informal resolution. Notices to KSMTA must be sent to KSM Transport Advisors, LLC, Attention: Legal Department, 600 E. 96th Street, Suite 150, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240.
YOU AND KSMTA AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS PART OF ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party’s claim.
Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration. Nothing in this section prevents KSMTA from seeking temporary or equitable relief for unauthorized access, cybersecurity threats, or infringement of intellectual property rights.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by KSMTA of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of KSMTA to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
The Terms of Use, together with all documents referenced herein, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and KSMTA regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms govern only use of the Website and do not amend, supersede, or otherwise affect any SaaS Terms or other written agreement governing access to or use of the FreightMath services. If these Terms conflict with such an agreement, that agreement controls with respect to the FreightMath services.
