PLEASE READ THIS SECTION (“THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE FOR DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US, OR ANY THIRD PARTY HEALTHCARE OR PHARMACEUTICAL PROVIDERS ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE SITE OFFERINGS. IT PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF MOST DISPUTES THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS. THIS SECTION ALSO CONTAINS A JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND A WAIVER OF ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PROCEED IN CLASS, COLLECTIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION IN ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPT-OUT PROCEDURES DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
This Arbitration Agreement applies to all Disputes between you and us, whether arising before or after the date on which you first accepted this Arbitration Agreement, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law. To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, all Disputes must be filed within one year after such Disputes or cause of action arose or it will be forever barred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below, you and the METHODIQ entities each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other IP rights. Any legal action by the METHODIQ entities against a non-consumer or its interactions with governmental and regulatory authorities shall not be subject to arbitration. Either party may also elect to have Disputes heard in small claims court seeking only individualized relief, so long as the action is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.
If any court or arbitrator determines that this Arbitration Agreement is void or unenforceable for any reason as to Disputes arising before the date of posting of this Arbitration Agreement, then you may still be bound to previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement by reason of your separate agreement to those previous versions.
If you or the METHODIQ Entities file or cause to be filed in court (other than small claims court) a complaint alleging a Dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, the defendant/respondent will notify the party or the party’s attorney (if an attorney has entered an appearance) of the existence of this Arbitration Agreement, and request that the complaint be withdrawn. If the party does not withdraw the action within 10 calendar days of service of that notice, and the defendant/respondent successfully moves to compel arbitration of the Dispute, the defendant/respondent shall be entitled to its costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in seeking to enforce this Arbitration Agreement.
If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other provisions of the Terms and Conditions will continue to apply to you, including the Non-Arbitral Disputes Governing Law and Mandatory Forum Selection set forth below in subsection F. Additionally, if you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you may still be bound to previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement or other arbitration agreements by reason of your separate agreement to them, including subsequent agreements to arbitrate. In other words, opting out of this Arbitration Agreement shall have no effect on any other arbitration agreements you entered into with the METHODIQ Entities.
If the METHODIQ Entities make any future changes to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address or other non-material changes), they will provide you with notice (to the extent they have your contact information). You may reject any such change by sending an email to the METHODIQ Entities at [email protected] within 30 days of the posting of the amended arbitration agreement that provides: (i) your full legal name, (ii) your complete mailing address, (iii) your phone number, (iv) the change(s) you are rejecting, (v) and, if applicable, the username or email address associated with any purchase from the METHODIQ Entities. This is not an opt out of arbitration altogether. Your continued use of the Sites after this 30-day period constitutes acknowledgment of, and agreement to, the changes to the Arbitration Agreement.
After receipt of a Notice of Dispute, the parties shall engage in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute for a period of 60 days (which can be extended by agreement). You and we agree that, after receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the recipient may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference (which can be held after the 60-day period) and both parties will attend (with counsel, if represented). You and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) shall work cooperatively to schedule the conference at the earliest mutually convenient time and to seek to reach a resolution.
Compliance with this Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures subsection is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution procedures set forth in this subsection. All of the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures are essential so that you and the METHODIQ Entities have a meaningful opportunity to resolve disputes informally. If any aspect of these requirements has not been met, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or stay the prosecution of an arbitration. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with these Procedures in arbitration.
Mandatory Arbitration Procedures: If the parties cannot resolve the Dispute through the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures above, you and the METHODIQ Entities each agree that all Disputes shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. The parties may agree to waive hearings and resolve Disputes through the submission of documents. Any arbitration hearing will be conducted remotely by telephone or video conference to the extent possible, but if the arbitrator determines, or the parties agree, that a hearing should be conducted in person, the arbitration hearing shall take place in New York, New York, and shall be before one arbitrator.
All Disputes shall be submitted to National Arbitration and Mediation (www.namadr.com) (“NAM”), for arbitration before one arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by NAM in accordance with NAM’s Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and, as applicable, Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, then in effect (“NAM Rules”), except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written demand for arbitration as specified in the NAM Rules. You and we agree that the party initiating arbitration must submit a certification that they have complied with and completed the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures requirements referenced above, and that they are a party to the Arbitration Agreement enclosed with or attached to the demand for arbitration. The demand for arbitration and certification must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). The parties agree that submission of the certification shall be required for the Dispute to be deemed properly filed.
A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on NAM’s website at www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/. For additional information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding, you can contact NAM at [email protected].
If NAM notifies the parties in writing that it is not available to arbitrate any Dispute, or if NAM is otherwise unable to arbitrate any Dispute, that Dispute shall be submitted to ADR Services, Inc. (www.adrservices.com) (“ADR Services”) for final and binding individual arbitration before one arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by ADR Services in accordance with the ADR Services rules and procedures then in effect (the “ADR Services Rules”), except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms and Conditions, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any proceedings under it. The FAA and the NAM Rules or ADR Services Rules (as applicable) shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent neither the FAA nor the NAM Rules or ADR Services Rules (as applicable) govern a particular issue, that issue will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles.
At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.
As in court, you and the METHODIQ Entities agree that any counsel representing a party in arbitration certifies when initiating and proceeding in arbitration that they are complying with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b) and any applicable state laws of similar import, including certification that the Dispute or relief sought is neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions under the NAM Rules or ADR Services Rules (as applicable), Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, or applicable federal or state law, against all appropriate represented parties and counsel.
Except as expressly provided in the Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief, or outcome that the parties could have received in court, including awards of attorneys’ fees and costs, in accordance with applicable law.
Mass Filing Procedures: If NAM determines that 25 or more substantially similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization are allowed to be submitted for arbitration, NAM’s mass filing fee structure shall apply and the parties agree that the arbitrations will proceed in accordance with the batching process as follows: (i) NAM shall administer the arbitration demands in batches of at least 25 demands for arbitration of a substantially similar nature, with the discretion to create additional batches if NAM finds that they are necessary to facilitate the efficient resolution of demands; (ii) NAM shall provide for concurrent resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one procedural calendar and one hearing (if any) and one final award; and (iii) following such determination of a mass filing, NAM shall apply a single set of admin and panel prep fees per batch in accordance with NAM’s fee schedule. All parties agree that arbitrations are of a “substantially similar nature” for purposes of these Mass Filing Procedures if they arise out of or relate to the same or similar event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief.
If there are 20 or more substantially similar Disputes that are allowed to be submitted for arbitration but cannot be arbitrated by NAM, and are presented to ADR Services by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization, ADR Services shall administer those Disputes concurrently in accordance with the ADR Services Rules, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, and in accordance with the Mass Filing Procedures set forth above (except that batches may be of at least 20 demands for arbitration). ADR Services shall apply a single initial filing fee and administrative fee per batch for each side with respect to the fees set forth in ADR Services’ then-current Mass Consumer Non-Employment Arbitration Fee Schedule.
The METHODIQ Entities reserve all rights and defenses as to each and any Dispute, demand for arbitration, and claimant. These Mass Filing Procedures shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitrations of any kind.
Arbitration Fees: If you do not timely pay any required fees to NAM (or ADR Services, as applicable), any refusal by us to pay such fees on your behalf shall not void or otherwise invalidate this Arbitration Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Any disputes over arbitration fees shall be resolved by NAM or ADR Services (as applicable).
Confidentiality: The parties agree that the arbitrator is authorized to issue an order requiring that confidential information of either party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) may not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce the arbitration award and that any permitted court filing of confidential information must be done under seal to the furthest extent permitted by law.
Requirement of Individualized Relief: The parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitrator is authorized, upon either party’s request, to award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Dispute.
This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of these Terms and Conditions. Except as provided in subsections A and C above, this Arbitration Agreement shall supersede and replace any and all previous arbitration and class action/jury waiver agreements you may have entered into with the METHODIQ Entities.
