  1. Limitation on Liability.   Spiro100’s total liability to you for all claims, in the aggregate, will not exceed the amount actually paid by Caremerge to Spiro100 over the 12 months preceding the date your first claim(s) arose.

  1. ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. APPLICABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

  1. Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Spiro100 agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (or equivalent laws in the jurisdiction in which the Spiro100 entity that you have contracted with is incorporated) governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms and that you and Spiro100 are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

 

  1. Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 8(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Spiro100’s Legal Department at the Spiro100 address set out below within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.

 

  1. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at orgor by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

 

  1. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Spiro100 will pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than U.S. $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute to be frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

 

  1. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND SPIRO100 AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 shall be null and void.

 

  1. Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 21 “Modification”, if Spiro100 changes any of the terms of this Section 8 after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or the date of Spiro100’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Spiro100 in accordance with the terms of this Section 8 as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

 

  1. With the exception of any of the provisions in above, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

 

  1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State California, United States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Subject to the agreements in Section 8 above, exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes that are not required to be arbitrated will be the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, United States of America, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

 

  1. Interpretation/Severability/Waiver/Remedies. Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe these Terms. If any term of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that term will be severed from these Terms. No failure or delay by Spiro100 in exercising any right hereunder will waive any further exercise of that right. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Spiro100. Spiro100’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive.

 

  1. Successors/Assignment. These Terms are binding upon and will inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and permitted assigns. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Spiro100’s prior written consent. Spiro100 may assign its rights, obligations and/or these Terms at any time in its sole discretion without notice to you.

 

  1. We may update these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know by, at a minimum, posting the updated Terms (as indicated by a revised “Last Updated” date at the top of this page) on the spiro100.com/terms-caremerge. Modifications will be effective on the date that they are posted to spiro100.com/terms-caremerge. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them before you use the Spiro100 Content. If you continue to use the Spiro100 Content after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(f) “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you may not use the Spiro100 Content anymore. Because the Spiro100 Content is evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Spiro100 Content, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
