Disputes, Choice of Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Use and the Services will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. Notwithstanding the arbitration provisions below, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in the state or federal courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and you consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts. In the event the parties agreement to arbitrate (as provided below) is held unenforceable by a court, the disputes that would otherwise have been arbitrated will be brought solely in the state or federal courts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to or application of its conflict of law provisions or the laws of your state or country of residence that would result in the application of the laws of a state other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and will otherwise be subject to the arbitration provisions below.
EXCEPT WHERE SUCH LIMITATION IS PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THE SERVICES OR THE SITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED
Mandatory Arbitration
UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT, YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND EQUA OR ANY OF EQUA’S AFFILIATES (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY OR WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH EQUA, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE AND YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION’S RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES AND YOU AND EQUA HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor Equa will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms of Use. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Equa is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be issued to both parties in a writing setting forth in reasonable detail the reasoning for the decision and award and such award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use.
You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor Equa can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify Equa in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out:
Equa Health, Inc. 7357 Rosemary Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15221, legal@equahealth.io.
You must include your name and residence address, an email address, and a clear and specific statement that you want to unconditionally opt out of this arbitration agreement.
If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Equa.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, this arbitration section shall not apply to disputes relating to: (1) your or Equa’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents); (2) violations of Equa’s Privacy Policy; or (3) any dispute in which Equa is seeking injunctive or equitable relief to prevent further breaches of these Terms of Use by you.
This arbitration provision describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights, including consumer rights, under the laws of your state or country. Where the laws of your state or country provide you with rights other than as set forth above, then you agree that all actions arising hereunder shall be instituted in accordance with the jurisdiction provision as set forth above.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Equa of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Equa to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Equa with respect to the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Site.
