1. USE OF THE SERVICES. The Service, and the information and content available on them, are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Pathize, its suppliers and service providers reserve all rights not granted in the Agreement. Unless subject to a separate license between you and Pathize, your right to use any and all Services is subject to the Agreement.
1.1 Description of Services. The Services are designed to enable users to track long-term illnesses. Through the features and functionality of the Services, you may manually input, or link compatible mobile or web applications (such as Apple Health) to import, health information (such as heart rate and step count) and may manually input symptoms and other markers so that you may track and view insights, analytics, graphics, content, and other information generated through the Services (“Analytics”) over time.
1.2 Limitations of Services. PATHIZE’S SERVICES, INCLUDING PATHIZE’S ANALYTICS, ARE NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE TO USERS AND ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT PATHIZE DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL OR OTHER CLINICAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND OR MAKE ANY MEDICAL OR OTHER CLINICAL DECISIONS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT PATHIZE DOES NOT ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY, EFFICACY, VERACITY, COMPLETENESS, APPROPRIATENESS, OR SAFETY OF ANY ANALYTICS RECEIVED OR PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. PATHIZE DOES NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY SPECIFIC TESTS, CLINICIANS, PRODUCTS, PROCEDURES, OPINIONS, OR OTHER INFORMATION OR RESOURCES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES. PATHIZE DOES NOT ITSELF PROVIDE SERVICES REQUIRING PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE OR QUALIFICATIONS (E.G., PHYSICIAN OR OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES) AND THE DATA PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES DO NOT CONTAIN OR CONSTITUTE, AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS, MEDICAL OR OTHER CLINICAL ADVICE OR OPINION.
1.3 No Physician-Patient Relationship with Pathize. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDER WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A HEALTH CONDITION AND BEFORE STOPPING, STARTING, OR MODIFYING ANY TREATMENT. NEVER DISREGARD PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL OR CLINICAL ADVICE OR DELAY IN SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU HAVE READ ON THE SERVICES. THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED FOR EMERGENCY USE. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 OR SEEK IMMEDIATE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY ATTENTION. The Analytics and other information generated by us or the Services should not be interpreted as a substitute for a healthcare professional consultation, evaluation, or treatment, and the information made available on or through the Services should not be relied upon when making medical or other clinical decisions or to diagnose or treat a health condition. Nothing contained in the Services should be construed as such advice or diagnosis. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES DOES NOT CREATE A PATIENT OR LICENSED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP, PHYSICIAN-PATIENT PRIVILEGE, OR DOCTOR-PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY BETWEEN YOU AND PATHIZE. You represent to us (which representation shall be deemed to be made each time you use the Services), that you are not using the Services or participating in any of the activities offered by the Services for purposes of seeking medical attention. You further agree that, before using the Services, you shall consult your physician.

As between Pathize and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Pathize.
(iv) You and Pathize acknowledge that, as between Pathize and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
(a) You and Pathize acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Pathize and Apple, Pathize, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by this Agreement.
(b) You and Pathize acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

If you are between the ages of sixteen (16) and eighteen (18), you must use the Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian, and your parent or legal guardian agrees to the terms of this Agreement on your behalf and takes full responsibility for your compliance with this Agreement. If you are under eighteen (18) (or under the age of majority where you live), you understand that you cannot later void the Agreement with Pathize as a minor without losing access to your Account, and your parent or legal guardian is responsible for your actions and any obligations you have incurred while enjoying the benefits of access to the features and functions of the Services.
2.2 Registration Data. In registering an Account, you agree to (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form (the “Registration Data”); and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. You represent that you are not a person barred from using the Services under the laws of the United States, your place of residence or any other applicable jurisdiction.

You may not share your Account login or password with anyone, and you agree to (y) notify Pathize immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security; and (z) exit from your Account at the end of each session. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or Pathize has reasonable grounds to suspect that any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Pathize has the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof). You agree not to create an Account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself. You agree not to create an Account or use the Services if you have been previously removed by Pathize, or if you have been previously banned from any of the Services.

In the event that Pathize pre-screens, refuses, or removes any of Your Data, you acknowledge that Pathize will do so for Pathize’s benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, Pathize shall have the right to remove any of Your Data that violates the Agreement or is otherwise objectionable.
3.3 Storage. Unless expressly agreed to by Pathize in writing elsewhere, Pathize has no obligation to store any of Your Data. Pathize has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any User Data, including Your Data; the failure to store, transmit, or receive transmission of any User Data; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Services, in each case subject always to our obligations pursuant to applicable privacy laws. Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Data. You are solely responsible for choosing the appropriate level of access to Your Data. You agree that Pathize retains the right to create reasonable limits on Pathize’s use and storage of User Data, including Your Data, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits as determined by Pathize in its sole discretion.

To the extent you make Your Data available to third parties via privacy settings, tools, or other functionalities of the Services, you hereby grant to such third parties a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license to access and use the Your Data in connection with their use of the Services. You agree that you, not Pathize, are responsible for all of Your Data, including with respect to creating any backup copies of Your Data at your sole cost and expense.

You agree that submission of any ideas, suggestions, documents, and/or proposals to Pathize through email, the App, the Website and/or suggestion pages (“Feedback”) is at your own risk and that Pathize has no obligations (including without limitation obligations of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback. You hereby grant to Pathize a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, and non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback, and to sublicense the foregoing rights, in connection with the operation, improvement, and maintenance of the Services and/or Pathize’s business.
- USER CONDUCT. As a condition of use, you agree not to use any of the Services for any purpose that is prohibited by this Agreement or by applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you shall not (and shall not permit any third party to) either: (a) take any action or (b) make available any Data on or through the Services that: (i) infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right, right of publicity, right of privacy or other right of any person or entity; (ii) is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, tortious, obscene, offensive, or profane; (iii) impersonates any person or entity; (iv) interferes with or attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the Services or uses the Services in any way not expressly permitted by the Agreement; or (v) attempts to engage in or engage in, any potentially harmful acts that are directed against the Services, including but not limited to violating or attempting to violate any security features of the Services, introducing viruses, worms, or similar harmful code into the Services, or interfering or attempting to interfere with use of the Services by any other user, host, or network, including by means of overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mail bombing,” or “crashing” the Services.
- INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Pathize, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “Pathize Party” and collectively, the “Pathize Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Data; (b) your use of any Service in violation of the Agreement; (c) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Registered Users; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Pathize reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to fully cooperate with Pathize in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Pathize Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement and/or your access to the Services. Some jurisdictions do not allow such indemnification, so the above obligations may not apply to you.
- INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.
7.1 User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Registered Users and any other parties with whom you interact; provided, however, that Pathize reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes. You agree that Pathize will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT PATHIZE DOES NOT CURRENTLY CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ITS USERS. PATHIZE ALSO DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ITS REGISTERED USERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS REGISTERED USERS. PATHIZE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF REGISTERED USERS.
7.2 Content Provided by Other Users. The Services may contain content, such as other User Data, provided by other Registered Users. Pathize is not responsible for and does not control such content. Pathize has no obligation to review or monitor, and does not approve, endorse, or make any representations or warranties with respect to such content. You use all content and interact with other Registered Users at your own risk.
- FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS
8.1 Fees for Services. You shall pay all fees or charges (“Fees”) to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a Fee is due and payable. The current monthly Fee for each Subscription (as defined below) is $14.99 per month, plus applicable Sales Taxes. By providing Pathize and/or our Third Party Service Provider with your payment information, you agree that Pathize and/or our Third Party Service Provider is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all Fees due and payable to Pathize hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You shall immediately notify Pathize of any change in your payment information to maintain its completeness and accuracy. Pathize reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods in its sole discretion. You agree to have sufficient funds or credit available upon placement of any order to ensure that the purchase price is collectible by us. Your failure to provide accurate payment information to Pathize and/or our Third Party Service Provider or our inability to collect payment constitutes your material breach of this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Fees for the Service are non-refundable.
8.2 Subscriptions. If you purchase access to the Pathize Health subscription, which enables access to certain features and functionality of the Services on a monthly basis (a “Subscription”), the Fee for such Subscription (“Service Subscription Fee”) will be billed at the start of the Subscription (“Subscription Service Commencement Date”) and at regular monthly intervals calculated from the date of purchase. Pathize reserves the right to change the timing of our billing upon written notice to you. Pathize reserves the right to change the Subscription pricing at any time. If changes to the Subscription price occur that impact your Subscription, Pathize will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you, such as by sending an email to the email address associated with your Account. If you do not agree with such changes, you may cancel your Subscription as set forth in Section 8.2(a)(i) (Cancelling Subscriptions Purchased via Pathize).
(a) Automatic Renewal. If you elect to purchase a Subscription, your Subscription will continue and automatically renew at Pathize’s then-current price for such Subscription until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Your subscription will renew on a monthly basis. By subscribing, you authorize Pathize to charge the payment method designated in your Account now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent Subscription period. Upon renewal of your Subscription, if Pathize does not receive payment, (i) you shall pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (ii) you agree that Pathize may either terminate or suspend your Subscription and continue to attempt to charge your designated payment method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new Subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
(i) Cancelling Subscriptions Purchased via Pathize. If you purchased your Subscription directly from Pathize, you may cancel your Subscription by logging into and going to the “Change/Cancel Membership” page of your “Account Settings” page. If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your Subscription, you must log in and go to the “Change/Cancel Membership” page on your “Account Settings” page.
(ii) Effect of Cancellation. If you cancel your Subscription, you may use your Subscription until the end of your then-current Subscription term; your Subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Service Subscription Fee paid for the then-current Subscription period.
(b) Upgrades and Downgrades. If we offer different Subscription tiers and you choose to upgrade your Subscription in the middle of a Subscription period, such upgrade will take effect immediately and any incremental fees associated with such upgrade will be charged in accordance with this Agreement. In any future Renewal Term, the fees will reflect any such upgrades. If we offer different Subscription tiers and you choose to downgrade a Subscription, the downgrade will take effect as of the first day of the next Renewal Term. Downgrading a Subscription may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Services as available, and Pathize does not accept any liability for such loss.
8.3 Free Trials and Promotional Access. Any free trial or other promotion that provides users access to the Service must be used within the specified time of the trial. At the end of the trial or promotional period, your use of that Service will automatically roll into a paid Subscription at our then-current Service Subscription Fees and you will be charged for such Subscription as set forth in Section 8.2 (Subscriptions) if you do not cancel prior to Subscription Service Commencement Date. If you are inadvertently charged for a Subscription and provide us with written notice of the error, Pathize will have the charges reversed.
8.4 Taxes. The Fees do not include any Sales Tax (defined below) that may be due in connection with the Service provided under this Agreement, unless required by the law applicable in your country of residence. If Pathize determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Pathize shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the Fees. If any services or, or payments for any services, under this Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Pathize, you shall be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you shall indemnify Pathize for any liability or expense Pathize may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Pathize’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” means any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the App and the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the App license, e.g., the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (each, an “App Store”). You acknowledge that the Agreement is between you and Pathize and not with the App Store. Pathize, not the App Store, is solely responsible the Services, including the App, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the App, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Services, including the App. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the App is conditioned upon your compliance with all terms of agreement imposed by the applicable App Store when using the Services, including the App. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Agreement and will have the right to enforce it.

(c) In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. As between Pathize and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Pathize.
(d) You and Pathize acknowledge that, as between Pathize and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
(e) You and Pathize acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Pathize and Apple, Pathize, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Agreement.

- U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY – ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. If you reside in the United States, please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires that you and Pathize arbitrate disputes against one another.
Dispute Resolution: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SECTION 14 CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW DISPUTES THAT YOU AND PATHIZE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER WILL BE RESOLVED. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS SECTION 14 INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WHICH REQUIRES, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND PATHIZE BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION 14 ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 14 CAREFULLY.
14.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Pathize agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services, or the Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (i) you and Pathize may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (ii) you or Pathize may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of the Agreement.
14.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Pathize. If that occurs, Pathize is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Pathize agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Pathize therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you also agree to participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. Notice to Pathize that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to info@pathizehealth.com or regular mail to our offices located at 215 N Peoria St., Floor 8, Chicago, Illinois, 60607. The Notice must include: (i) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (ii) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (iii) a description of your Dispute.
The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.
14.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND PATHIZE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Pathize are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
14.4 Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND PATHIZE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 14.9 (BATCH ARBITRATION), EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may 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 the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection 14.9 (Batch Arbitration) entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Pathize agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in Chicago, Illinois. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Pathize from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
14.5 Rules and Forum. This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of Notice, you and Pathize agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitratio n/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS rules.
A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (i) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (ii) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (iii) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (iv) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (v) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.
If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (a) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (b) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (c) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.
Unless you and otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 14.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
You and Pathize agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.
14.6 Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the JAMS roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 14.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, JAMS will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
14.7 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (i) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (ii) except as expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (iii) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (iv) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
14.8 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Pathize need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
14.9 Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Pathize agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Pathize by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS shall (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (ii) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Pathize.
You and Pathize agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (a) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (b) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
14.10 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: 215 N Peoria St., Floor 8, Chicago, Illinois, 60607, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Pathize account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
14.11 Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Pathize as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.
14.12 Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Pathize makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Pathize at: 215 N Peoria St., Floor 8, Chicago, Illinois, 60607, your continued access and use of the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on or through the Services, following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of this Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services or the Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Agreement) remain in full force and effect. Pathize will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of the Agreement.
- GENERAL PROVISIONS.
15.1 ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS IS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED FROM THIS AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU RESIDE IN A MEMBER STATE OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA OR IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AFFORDED TO YOU BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE LAWS OF YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE, AND NOTHING IN THE AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE APPLICATION OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
15.2 Exclusive Venue. To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Pathize agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Chicago, Illinois.
