TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

  1. Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including, but not limited to any use of the Site's content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, or your use of any information obtained from the Site.

  3. Data. 

All de-identified data, meta-data, and research data collected by WellnessTogether.org through your use of the SiteServices remain the sole property of Wellness Together. Wellness Together.org may share some or all of this research data with third parties in connection with joint or outside research, analytics, or similar purposes. Research data is used in non-identifiable aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. 

You acknowledge that WellnessTogether.org must store all personal data as required by law, typically for no less than seven (7) years, and may not delete such medical records data, even upon your direct request.

  1. Disputes.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Service will be resolved by binding confidential arbitration in Sacramento, California, rather than in court. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator and pursuant to the arbitration rules of either the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"). The arbitrator may award costs and attorneys' fees to the prevailing party. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must interpret these Terms as a court would.

It is agreed that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, WellnessTogether.org and you each waive any right to a jury trial. It is further agreed that you may not bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuses of intellectual property rights.

  1. General

    1. Changes.  These Terms are subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we may notify you by sending you an email to the last email address you provided to us (if any) or by updating the date associated with these Terms on our Site.  You are responsible for providing us with your most current email address.  If the last email address you have provided us is not valid or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice.  Any changes to these Terms will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of an email notice to you (if applicable) or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our Site.  These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Site.  However, any changes to the dispute resolution provision set out in Section 10 hereof, entitled "Disputes," will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is communicated to you by email. Continued use of our Site following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

    2. Electronic Communications.  The communications between you and Company use electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether Company posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Company in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

    3. Interpretation of Terms. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word "including" means "including without limitation."  If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.  

    4. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. All matters relating to the Site and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
