IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE TERMS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU AND REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH US THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

Please see “DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES & LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY” (Section 8) and “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” (Section 10) below for more information.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY PART OF THESE TERMS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE MARS SITES.

1. CHANGES TO TERMS

The Effective Date of these Terms is set forth at the top of this webpage. We do not intend to change these Terms very often but reserve the right to do so. We will notify you of any material change by posting notice on this webpage. Whenever possible, we will notify you in advance of our changes. We do not make changes that have retroactive effect unless we are legally required to do so.

Your continued use of the Mars Sites after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the amended Terms. The amended Terms supersede all previous versions of the Terms. For this reason, we encourage you to review these Terms any time you access or use the Mars Sites and to print out a copy of these Terms for your records.

2. ADDITIONAL TERMS

Certain services offered by or through the Mars Sites, such as mobile applications, sweepstakes, offers contests and other services, may be governed by additional terms and conditions presented in conjunction with them. You must agree to the additional terms before using such services. These Terms and any additional terms will apply equally. If any additional term is irrevocably inconsistent with any provision of these Terms, the additional term will prevail.

3. MARS CONTENT

Mars retains full and complete title to all information and materials provided on or through or submitted to the Mars Sites, including any artwork, graphics, text, video and audio clips, trademarks, logos and other content (collectively, "Mars Content").

If you agree to these Terms (as well as any additional terms and conditions related to specific Mars Content), then you may download, print and/or copy Mars Content solely for your own personal use.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify and defend The Linnaeus Group and its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all losses, liabilities, actual or pending claims, actions, damages, expenses, costs of defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees brought against the Linnaeus Group by any third-party arising from your violation of these Terms, the rights of a third-party or applicable law. The Linnaeus Group reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder. In any event, no settlement that affects the rights or obligations of The Linnaeus Group may be made without The Linnaeus Group’s  prior written approval.

10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms are governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the  England and Wales. and are binding upon the parties hereto in England and Wales and worldwide. You and the Linnaeus Group agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.

YOU AND THE LINNAEUS GROUP AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 10 AND THAT YOU AND MARS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE ANY COURT OF LAW.

YOU AND THE LINNAEUS GROUP FURTHER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any dispute between you and The Linnaeus Group and its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this Section 10, “Linnaeus Group Parties”) arising from or relating to these Terms and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this agreement to arbitration (collectively, "Covered Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration in the United Kingdom administered by the LCIA in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules in effect on the date thereof.

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60 days' advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. The Linnaeus Group will provide such notice by mail or e-mail using the contact information on file with The Linnaeus Group and you must provide such notice by mail to The Linnaeus Group, Attn: Legal Department, Linnaeus Group

Friars Gate, 1011 Stratford Road, Shirley, West Midlands, B90 4BN.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the LCIA rules. If, however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be cost-prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, The Linnaeus Group will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse The Linnaeus Group for all fees associated with the arbitration that The Linnaeus Group paid on your behalf, which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the LCIA rules.

A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the LCIA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must be with written explanation and remain confidential.

The Linnaeus Group and you agree that any Covered Dispute will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Neither The Linnaeus Group nor you are entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative or private-attorney action and the arbitrator will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative or private attorney general basis. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 10 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to these Terms must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of this Section 10, these Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).

Please Note: By agreeing to these Terms, you explicitly agree that any claims or actions that you may otherwise have against The Linnaeus Group under the laws of any jurisdiction outside  England and Wales are hereby waived, including without limitation, any claims or actions under the laws of your own country, and that your sole location and applicable law for any dispute is in  England or Wales according to the terms of this Section 10.

11. TERMINATION

These Terms automatically terminate when you fail to comply with any term or condition of them. Mars may terminate or modify your access to the Mars Sites, with or without notice to you, at any time for any reason. For example, access to the Mars Sites may be denied without notice if Mars believes that you are not at least age 13.

Termination will not limit any of Mars’ other rights or remedies. This Section 11, along with Sections 3, 8, 9, 10 and 16, survive termination of these Terms.

12. JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES; TAXES
