Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Class Action

  • Disputes. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against My Well, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at help@mywell.org. We will try to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email, but if we cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of submission, you and/or My Well agree to resolve any claims related to these Terms of Use through final and binding arbitration, except as forth under ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or you opt out as described below.
  • Opt-Out. You can opt-out and decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting My Well within thirty (30) day from the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision (i.e.: the date you initially accepted these Terms of Use). You must write us at My Well, Attn: Opt-Out Arbitration, 2001 Butterfield Road, Suite 102, Downers Grove, IL 60515. If you opt out, neither you nor My Well can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.
  • Arbitration Procedures. Except in the event the claim meets the requirements set forth in the ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or if you opt out of arbitration as described below, all claims shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules, in effect at the time the proceedings begin, of the American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy and/or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. All information relating to and/or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any disputes shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information and shall not be disclosed without prior written authorization of the disclosing party. The arbitration shall be held in Cook County, Illinois USA or any other location we agree to. Each party shall bear the burden of its own counsel fees incurred in connection with any arbitration proceedings. THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT BE EMPOWERED AND DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO HEAR OR DECIDE ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR TO AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES TO THE PREVAILING PARTY.
  • Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you and/or My Well may assert claims, if it qualifies, in small claims court in Cook County, Illinois. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use and/or abuse of the Services, breach of My Well’s confidential information and/or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright and/or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration and/or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein.
  • Judicial forum for disputes; Governing Law. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you and/or your claim, you and My Well agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Cook County, Illinois. Both you and My Well consent to the foregoing venue and jurisdiction. Other than as provided with respect to arbitration, these Terms of Use shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to its choice of law rules.

General. These Terms of Use and the documents referenced or incorporated herein (including but not limited to the Privacy Policy) constitute the final, complete, and exclusive agreement of the parties relating to the use of the Services, and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties. Upon termination of these Terms of Use for any reason, the provisions of these Terms of Use that are by their nature intended to survive termination (including without limitation any disclaimers, limitations of liability and indemnities) shall survive such termination. A waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use is not a waiver of any repetition of such breach and will not in any manner affect any other terms or conditions of these Terms of Use. We do not waive any rights by the failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use in every instance in which it might apply. Your breach of these Terms of Use may result in immediate and irreparable harm to us, for which there may be no adequate remedy at law, and, therefore, you agree that we are entitled to equitable relief to compel you to cease and desist all unauthorized use, evaluation and disclosure of information obtained through My Well’s Sites or Services, which is in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity. In the event that any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that is the closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision. We may assign our rights and delegate our duties under these Terms of Use either in whole or in part at any time without notice. You may not assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer your rights or obligations, in whole or in part, under these Terms of Use to anyone else without our prior written consent. This Agreement does not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between you and us.
