Stipulated Liquidated Damages
In various provisions in this Agreement, we have outlined liquidated damages amounts to be applied as penalties against you if you violate these specific provisions. You specifically agree to pay these amounts. In agreeing to pay liquidated damages, you acknowledge that this amount is not a penalty, and that the actual damages are uncertain and difficult to ascertain, but that this amount represents the parties’ good faith attempt to calculate an appropriate compensation based on anticipated actual damages.
If we are required to enlist the assistance of an attorney or other person to collect any liquidated damages or any other amount of money from you, or if we are required to seek the assistance of an attorney to pursue injunctive relief against you, then you additionally agree that you will reimburse us for all fees incurred in order to collect these liquidated damages or in order to seek injunctive relief from you. You understand that even a nominal amount of damages may require the expenditure of extensive legal fees, travel expenses, costs, and other amounts that may dwarf the liquidated damages themselves. You agree that you will pay all of these fees and costs.
We reserve the right to unilaterally assign our liquidated damages claim for any third-party torts to the actual victim, or to the victim’s successor-in-interest.
