13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
- Parties.
- “Company” includes MD Live Advice, MDZ HR INC, and its affiliated entities and any governing board, officers, directors, members, shareholders, executive team, employees, managers, agents, and any parent company, subsidiary, or affiliates, any person or entity alleged to be responsible for the Company’s activities, and any of their successors or assigns.
- “You” shall mean an individual who receives advice or any individual who has any interaction with the Company and is bound by the terms and conditions. Any person whose claim is derived through or on behalf of the individual, YOU, including any spouse, child, parent, executor, administrator, personal representative, heir, or survivor, as well as anyone entitled to bring a wrongful death claim. If not a signatory, the party is an intended third-party beneficiary of this arbitration clause and the Terms.
- Voluntary Agreement to Arbitration. By accepting the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, You and the Company (collectively, "Parties") agree that every dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) arising out of, in connection with or relating to: (i) these Terms and prior versions of these Terms, or concerning the existence, applicability, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, scope, waiver, or validity thereof; (ii) the use of the Services rendered by Company were unnecessary, unauthorized, or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered or omitted (collective, “Disputes”) will be resolved on an individual basis by final and binding arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. To promote efficiency, all claims arising from the same or related transactions must be brought in a single arbitration, unless prohibited by law. The type of award requested (e.g., treble damages, punitive damages or attorneys’ fees) shall not affect whether a dispute is subject to arbitration under this Agreement. ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT OR PROCEEDING OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
- Federal Arbitration Act Applies. Any arbitration between You and Company will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 ET SEQ.) and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting the Company.
- Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Company’s address for Notice is: MD Live Advice, 2239 E 5th Street, Tucson, AZ 85719. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly through informal means, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, You or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by You or Company must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If any party refuses to participate or otherwise fails to respond to a Demand after proper notice, the arbitrator may proceed ex parte and issue an award.
- Selection of Arbitrator. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall be a retired state or federal judge, or an attorney licensed in any U.S. jurisdiction with at least ten (10) years of experience in consumer, privacy or commercial matters. The parties will cooperate in good faith to select an arbitrator; if they cannot agree, the AAA shall appoint a qualified arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have authority to permit motions to dismiss for summary judgment, applying standards consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
- Fees and Venue. Each party will pay the fees for its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. In all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the arbitrator's and arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all of the arbitrator's and/or arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with said applicable law. Any disputes regarding whether the Company is required to pay the arbitrator's and arbitration fees and/or how those fees are to be apportioned between the Parties will be resolved by the arbitrator. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. If the parties cannot otherwise agree on a location for the arbitration, the arbitration shall take place in Denver County, Colorado.
- Class, Collective, and Other Representative Action Waivers ("Class Action Waiver"). You and the Company mutually agree that by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, both waive their right to have any dispute, claim, or controversy brought, heard or arbitrated as a class, collective, and/or other representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law, and an arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any such class, collective, or other representative action. You also waive your right to receive notice of any class, collective, or other representative action that may be filed. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Consumer Rules, as defined above and incorporated herein by reference, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNEFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM OR RELIEF) MUST BE LITIGATED IN A CIVIL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, AND ANY REMAINING CLAIMS SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ARBITRATION. THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CANNOT BE SEVERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE.
- Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If MD Live Advice makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to MD Live Advice’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to MD Live Advice’s address for Notice of Arbitration.
- Mass Arbitration. To the extent permitted by applicable law, to increase efficiency of resolution, if 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the same law firm, organization, or coordinated group of attorneys against Company, the Parties agree that such demands shall be administered in batches of up to 100 claims per batch. Each batch shall be treated as a single case for purposes of administrative and filing fees, and a single arbitrator shall be assigned to each batch. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith with the arbitration provider to implement this batching process. Any dispute regarding the application of this provision shall be decided by a single arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, batch arbitrations shall take place in Tucson, Arizona.
- Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through an applicable federal, state, or local agency if that enforcement action is available through such agency; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any statutory or administrative agency claims that may not be subject to mandatory arbitration under applicable law shall proceed in such forum.
- Severability. The Parties agree that the only essential term to this Agreement is the agreement and willingness of both parties to arbitrate. Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
- Survival. THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION SECTION WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY.
