You should know that communications carriers assign text messages with a default lifetime and any message or broadcast that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. <aisms> is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message or broadcast to be delivered, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from <aisms> for any such non-deliveries.

20. Security Rules
You are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the <aisms> Services and from using them to violate the security of other websites by any method, including, without limitation: (a) accessing data not intended for you or logging into a server or account that you are not authorized to access; (b) attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measurers without proper authorization; (c) attempting to interfere with service to any user of the <aisms> Services, host, or network, including, without limitation, by means of submitting a virus to, overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mailbombing,” or “crashing” the <aisms> Sites; (d) sending unsolicited e-mail, including promotions and/or advertisements of products or services; or (e) forging any <aisms> packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail, instant message, text message, or newsgroup posting.
Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. We may investigate violations of these Terms, and may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting <aisms> Customers who are involved in such violations.
21. Force Majeure
<aisms> shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations hereunder, if such failure or delay is caused by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, insurrection, terrorism, strike, failure or downtime of any telecommunications line and/or unavailability of any telecommunications or Internet facilities, power failure, governmental restrictions, any court order, compliance with any law, regulation, order of any governmental authority, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of <aisms>. In addition, <aisms> shall be so excused in the event that it is unable to acquire from its usual sources, and on terms it deems to be reasonable, any material necessary for the performance of our Services.
22. Choice of Law
The enforceability and interpretation of Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be determined in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9. U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), including its procedural provisions. Apart from Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate), the Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Texas (subject to any applicable preemption or supersedence by U.S. federal substantive law) without regard to conflict of law principles that would cause laws of another jurisdiction to apply.
23. Agreement to Arbitrate
Most disputes can be resolved by contacting our Customer Support team. We strongly encourage you to reach out to them before you decide to bring a formal legal case.
23.1. We Both Agree to Arbitrate. If we are not able to successfully work together to resolve the dispute, you (and any of your affiliates) and <aisms> (and any of our affiliates) all agree to resolve any dispute arising under these Terms (including our privacy policies) or any dispute relating to our Services by binding arbitration in Austin, Texas.
This agreement to arbitrate applies to all claims under any legal theory, including any claim that requires the interpretation of this document, except for the exception below in subsection 24.2 (Exception to Agreement to Arbitrate). This agreement also continues to apply after you have stopped using our Services. If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or whether it applies to the dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that as well.
In addition, if any of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or if any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of us can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). Any of us can also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
23.2. Exception to Agreement to Arbitrate. Anything in the foregoing paragraphs to the contrary notwithstanding, <aisms> may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction over the parties to enjoin or prevent any action you take or threaten to take in violation of these Terms. Moreover, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
23.3. Arbitration Procedure. The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”) then in effect shall apply to the arbitration, except to the extent that they conflict with any express provisions in this Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate).
A single independent arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration. The parties shall endeavor to select the independent arbitrator by mutual agreement. The arbitrator shall be a member of a state bar engaged in the practice of law in the United States or a retired member of a state or the federal judiciary in the United States. If the dispute is one to be decided by arbitration and such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days after the dispute first arose, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the Rules as then in effect.
Each party shall be entitled to inspect and obtain a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party. All such discovery shall be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. Unless otherwise provided in the award, each party shall bear its own costs of discovery.
The award of the arbitrator shall be based on the evidence admitted and shall contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award shall be made within thirty (30) days following the close of the final hearing and the filing of any post-hearing briefs authorized by the arbitrator. It shall set forth in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for the award. The arbitrator may, in his/her discretion, award to any party specific performance or injunctive relief (but the foregoing is not intended to limit <aisms>’s access to the courts to the extent provided in subsection 24.2). The arbitrator may not change, modify, or alter any express condition, term, or provision of these Terms.
Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties, and no appeal of any kind may be taken. Judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The statute of limitations applicable under Texas law to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration hereunder.
23.4. Recovery of Costs and Attorney’s Fees. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, <aisms> and any of its affiliates will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees if we substantially prevail.
23.5. Class Action Waiver. Both you (and your affiliates) and <aisms> (and our affiliates) agree that any claims or controversies between us must be brought against each other only on an individual basis. Neit
