No action, regardless of form, arising out of this agreement may be brought by you more than twelve (12) months after the cause of action first arose.

8. Choice of Law, Arbitration and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

8.1. Choice of Law

The Sites shall be deemed solely based in Kentucky, and the Sites shall be deemed passive websites that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Jefferson County. These Terms and Conditions are subject to Kentucky law, without regard to its choice of law provisions. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provision in Section 8.2 below (the “Arbitration Provision”) and preempts all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA is determined to not apply to any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration Provision, then that issue shall be resolved under and governed by the law of your state of residence. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Kentucky for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration Provision, including without limitation any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that the courts located in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Jefferson County are the proper and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration Provision is found to be unenforceable.

8.2. Arbitration

READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION IN ANY DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

This Arbitration Provision applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and us that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (a) these Terms and Conditions, including without limitation the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, or enforceability thereof; (b) access to or use of the Sites, including without limitation the receipt of any advertising, marketing, or other communications from us; (c) any transactions through, by, or using the Sites; or (d) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with us, directly or indirectly (“Claim” or collectively, “Claims”). The Arbitration Provision shall apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your consent to these Terms and Conditions.

For any Claim, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Bamboo Health has not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, each of you and we agree to resolve the Claim through binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under the Expedited Procedures then in effect for AAA (the “Rules”), except as provided herein. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control. AAA may be contacted at www.adr.org, where the Rules are also available. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. county where you live or in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Jefferson County unless you and we agree otherwise. If you are an individual using the Sites for non-commercial purposes: (a) AAA may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from AAA; (b) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (c) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Provision, including without limitation any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Provision is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including without limitation any issues relating to whether any provision of these Terms and Conditions is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including without limitation waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, or estoppel.

NOTHING IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL BE DEEMED AS: PREVENTING US FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM THE COURTS AS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF OUR DATA SECURITY, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; OR PREVENTING YOU FROM ASSERTING CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES ON ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-COLLECTIVE, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.

If this Arbitration Provision is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall have no impact on the remaining provisions of the Arbitration Provision, which shall remain in force, or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Arbitration Provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the class action/jury trial waiver in Section 8.3 is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. All other claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that litigation of any dispute regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

8.3. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SITES FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, BY YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

9. Enforceability

Should any part of the Terms and Conditions be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, this shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion and such remaining portion shall remain and such remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect as if the invalid portion of the Terms and Conditions had been eliminated.
