Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Website Terms of Use or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Service (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a 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. Without limiting the preceding sentence, you will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide the Company with written notice of your desire to do so by email or regular mail at info@buckeyehealthassoc.com or Buckeye Health Associates Inc, 350 E First Ave, FL 1, Columbus, OH 43201 within thirty (30) days following the date you first accept these Website Terms of Use (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you don't provide the Company with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth above. You acknowledge and agree that you and the Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Website Terms of Use.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Location and Procedure

Unless you and the Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and the Company submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator's Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. The Company will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

Fees

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, the Company will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Changes

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Website Terms of Use, if the Company changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Website Terms of Use, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to info@buckeyehealthassoc.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of the Company's email to you notifying you of such change.

Waiver and Severability

The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Website Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator finds any provision of these Website Terms of Use invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Website Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
