OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED $50.
YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY, AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. IN ADDITION, YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES OF ACTIONS YOU TAKE OR FAIL TO TAKE BASED ON OUR CONTENT, INCLUDING DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM SUCH ACTIONS OR INACTIONS RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO OUR WEBSITE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these state laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.
In the event that any limitation on the period of time for bringing an action, claim, dispute or proceeding against us, found in this “Limitations on our Liability” section, is determined or held to be inapplicable or unenforceable by any court, Arbitrator, arbitration panel or other tribunal, then the statute of limitations for the State of Florida, including Chapter 95, Florida Statutes, will apply to any such action, claim, dispute or proceeding referred to final or binding arbitration.
11. Your Indemnification of Us
You covenant and agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents and representatives harmless from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or attributable to: (i) any breach or violation of these Terms by you or your representatives; (ii) your failure to provide accurate, complete and current information requested or required by us; (iii) your access or use of our Website or Our Content; (iv) access or use of our Website under any Login Credentials provided to you; (v) your transmissions, submissions or postings to, through or on our Website, including Your Content; or (vi) any personal injury, property damage or emotional distress caused by you.
12. Our Remedies
You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if these Terms are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms by you, we will be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Terms. You agree that we may bring any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach in the courts of record of Duval County, Florida. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. We may effect service of any court paper on you by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, regulations, rules of procedure or local rules.
13. Disputes: Arbitration Agreement, and Class Waiver
Please read this Section carefully. Except as these Terms otherwise provide, you waive your rights to try any claim in court before a judge or jury and to bring or participate in any class, collective, or other representative action.
13.1 Agreement to Binding Arbitration
Before initiating arbitration, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our Website and upon which you rely. You may seek to resolve any customer concerns through our support services at donna.cothren@mobilemedicalnow.com or send the written
description by U.S. Mail to 4655 Salisbury Rd Suite 110, Jacksonville FL 32256. You agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 30 days after our receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against us on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Section. You and we agree that any disputes between us (including any disputes between you and a third-party agent of us) will be resolved through binding and final arbitration and not in a court. This includes, but is not limited to, (a) any dispute, claims, or controversy arising out of or relating to any part of these Terms, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof; or (b) your access to or use of our Website at any time. Such dispute shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for individual arbitration in Duval County, Florida (or such other location as you and we mutually agree) and shall be before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules and Procedures, only as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.
The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
By agreeing to individual arbitration, you understand and agree that you are waiving your right to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle any disputes or claims. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury. Although review is limited, an Arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as would be available in court, and must enforce the same limitations stated in these Terms as a court would.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyright rights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
13.2 No Class Action
You and we each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and we each agree to arbitrate in our individual capacities only, not as a representative of a class, a member of a class, or a Private Attorney General. Likewise, an Arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
13.3 Rules and Governing Law
The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_1.pdf. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, 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”) will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the
enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
13.4 Arbitration Process
You can begin the arbitration by submitting a Demand for Arbitration, which is a statement containing basic information about the dispute: (a) the names, addresses and phone numbers of the parties involved (you and us, in most cases); (b) a description of the dispute; and (c) a short statement of the relief you are seeking. The AAA provides a Demand for Arbitration form on its website, or you may contact the AAA at 800-778-7879.
Complete the Demand for Arbitration and make at least four (4) copies. Keep one copy for your records. Send one copy to us by certified mail at Notice of Dispute, Address: 4655 Salisbury Rd Suite 110, Jacksonville FL 32256.
Send the final two copies of the Demand for Arbitration to the AAA. Please be sure to include (1) a copy of this arbitration provision (you may obtain a copy from these Terms); and (2) the appropriate AAA filing fee. You may obtain the amount of the fee by consulting the AAA’s rules. Those rules may be obtained by visiting the Consumer section on the AAA’s website, or by calling the AAA at 800.778.7879.
Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, in the event that any provision of this Section is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the Arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Duval County, Florida. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Duval County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
13.5 Arbitrator’s Decision
The Arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The Arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law.
Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties.
Judgment on any award rendered by the Arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive on you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
With the exception of disclosures to affiliates and legal counsel, all negotiations and arbitration proceedings related to a dispute (including a settlement, award, or the documents and briefs exchanged or produced during arbitration) are confidential and may not be disclosed by the parties except to the extent necessary for interim measures or conservatory relief, the enforcement of an arbitration award, or as required by law.
13.6 Fees
Payment of all filing, administration and Arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable consumer rules. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the Arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith. In addition, the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply and be enforced by the Arbitrator.
14. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under applicable law, such provision will be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder of these Terms will not be invalidated thereby and will be given full force and effect so far as possible. If any provision of these Terms may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable.
For purposes of these Terms, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the word “or” is not exclusive. The headings contained in these Terms are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of these Terms, and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of these Terms.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in these Terms, as may be amended by us, from time to time, will survive your acceptance of these Terms and the termination of these Terms.
No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or any power set forth in these Terms by us will operate as a waiver of such right or power, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power under these Terms by us preclude further exercise of that or any other right or power under these Terms.
We may update, amend or change these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. Amendments will take effect immediately upon us posting such updates on our Website.
