Additional Information
Warranty Disclaimer: Patient Campaign and its licensors, suppliers, partners, parent companies, subsidiaries, or affiliated entities, along with their respective officers, directors, members, employees, consultants, contract employees, representatives, and agents, as well as their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Patient Campaign Parties”), make no representations or warranties concerning the Website, including the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Website. The Patient Campaign Parties will not be responsible or liable for any claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, or liabilities arising from the use of or related to your participation in the Website. The Website and Content are provided by Patient Campaign (and its licensors and suppliers) on an “as-is” basis, without any warranties, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted or error-free use. Some states may not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, under no circumstances and under no legal theory (including, without limitation, tort, contract, strict liability, or otherwise) shall any of the Patient Campaign Parties be liable to you or any other person for (A) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind, including damages for lost profits, business interruption, loss of data, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction, (B) any substitute goods, services, or technology, (C) any amount, in the aggregate, in excess of one hundred ($100) dollars, or (D) any matter beyond our reasonable control. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential or certain other damages, so the above limitation and exclusions may not apply to you.
Indemnity: You agree to indemnify and hold the Patient Campaign Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any claims relating to (A) your use of the Website, and (B) your violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).
Assignment: You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Patient Campaign’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.
Choice of Law: These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
Arbitration Agreement: Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Patient Campaign and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Patient Campaign. Both you and Patient Campaign acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, Patient Campaign’s officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.
(a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement: The parties shall make their best efforts to resolve any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If such negotiations do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Chicago, IL. The arbitration will be conducted in English, following the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Costs of Arbitration: The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Patient Campaign will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than seventy-five thousand ($75,000) dollars. Patient Campaign will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
(c) Small Claims Court; Infringement: Either you or Patient Campaign may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Wilmington, Delaware, or any United States county where you live or work. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial: YOU AND PATIENT CAMPAIGN WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and Patient Campaign are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Patient Campaign over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND PATIENT CAMPAIGN WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions: ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. However, if this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Patient Campaign is entitled to arbitration, and all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court, as set forth in (g) below.
(f) Opt-out: You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.
(g) Exclusive Venue: If you send the opt-out notice in (f) and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Patient Campaign to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and Patient Campaign agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware or the federal district in which that county falls.
(h) Severability: If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Patient Campaign.
Miscellaneous
You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Website, provided that Patient Campaign may, in its sole discretion, perform any of these actions on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to allow these Terms to remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Patient Campaign agree that these Terms constitute the complete and exclusive understanding between you and Patient Campaign, supplanting all previous written and oral agreements, communications, and other understandings related to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Patient Campaign and do not have any authority to bind Patient Campaign in any respect.
Except as expressly set forth in the section above concerning the arbitration agreement, you and Patient Campaign agree that no third-party beneficiaries are intended under these Terms.
