You and Aquinas Wealth Advisorssm hereby agree that breach of this confidentiality provision would irreparably harm the non-breaching party, and further agree that any such breach shall entitle the non-breaching party to seek injunctive relief and/or compensatory damages for the breach (without the necessity of posting a bond or other security).
    8. You may elect to opt out and exclude yourself from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver specified in this Section 18 by sending to Aquinas Wealth Advisors, Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out Notices, 650 Washington Road, Suite 1000, Pittsburgh, PA 15228, for postmarking within 15 days after the creation of your User Account, a letter stating (I) your name; (II) your mailing address; and (III) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver.

  19. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18, you agree that Aquinas Wealth Advisorssm and the other members of the Aquinas Wealth Group shall have the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in the Pennsylvania state courts sitting in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, or the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, to enforce these Terms of Service, to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of any confidential information of Aquinas Wealth Advisorssm or any other member of the Aquinas Wealth Group and/or to prevent infringement of any intellectual property or other rights of Aquinas Wealth Advisorssm, any other member of the Aquinas Wealth Group or any third party, without being required to post a bond or other security or to prove actual damages. In the event Aquinas Wealth Advisorssm or any other member of the Aquinas Wealth Group seeks such equitable relief in any such court, you hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court and waive all objections to such jurisdiction.
  20. Prevailing Party. In the event of any Dispute, and whether such Dispute is resolved via arbitration, litigation or otherwise, the prevailing party (as that term is commonly defined by the prevailing common and/or statutory law in the applicable jurisdiction) shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit, which costs shall include, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such Dispute. In the event a party to any Dispute fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges any arbitration award or fails to comply with any arbitration award, the other party shall be entitled to recover its costs of enforcement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in having to compel arbitration or to defend or enforce the arbitration award.
  21. Time Limit to File Claims. You expressly agree that, except where applicable law prescribes a shorter applicable statute of limitations or prohibits shortening the otherwise-applicable longer statute of limitations, you must file any claim or legal action of any kind arising in connection with or relating in any way to (a) the Application or any communication or other interaction between you and Aquinas Wealth Advisorssm or any other member of the Aquinas Wealth Group relating thereto; (b) these Terms of Service; and/or (c) any act (or failure to act) on the part of Aquinas Wealth Advisorssm or any other member of the Aquinas Wealth Group or you in connection with any of the foregoing, within, in each such case, one year after the event, circumstances or other facts giving rise to such claim or legal action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the law in the applicable jurisdiction has a “discovery rule,” whereby accrual of a claim is deferred, which is applicable to one or more claims, then the one-year (or shorter, if applicable) limitation period specified in this Section 21 shall begin running from the date of accrual of such claim or claims as determined by the law of the applicable jurisdiction. If this Section 21 is determined to be unenforceable as to any particular claim or claims under the law of the applicable jurisdiction, it nevertheless shall remain fully enforceable as to all other claims.
  22. Severability.
    1. (a) With the exception of the class action waiver in Section 18(c), which is essential to the agreement to arbitrate, if, in connection with any Dispute, any provision of these Terms of Service is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, that provision shall, if possible, be construed as though more narrowly drawn, if a narrower construction would avoid such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, or, if that is not possible, such provision shall, to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, be severed from these Terms of Service as applied to such Dispute, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service shall remain in effect with respect to such Dispute.
    2. (b) If, in connection with any Dispute, the class action waiver in Section 18(c) is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and such court or arbitrator determines that a valid class exists, then the entirety of the dispute resolution procedures specified in Section 18 shall be void and of no force and effect with respect to such Dispute.
  23. Survival. All provisions of these Terms of Service shall survive the expiration or other termination of these Terms of Service and any termination of your User Account, regardless of the reason for any such termination, until the expiration of the last-applicable statute of limitations.
