16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH WELLTHEORY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM WELLTHEORY, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH BELOW. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL.
- NO REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS. YOU AND WELLTHEORY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS PERSONAL TO YOU AND WELLTHEORY AND THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ACTION, AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER TYPE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
- ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS DISPUTES IN WHICH YOU OR WELLTHEORY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF YOUR BILLING ADDRESS OR DISPUTES IN WHICH YOU OR WELLTHEORY SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, YOU AND WELLTHEORY EACH WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE. INSTEAD, FOR ANY DISPUTE THAT YOU HAVE AGAINST WELLTHEORY, YOU AGREE TO FIRST CONTACT WELLTHEORY AND RESOLVE THE DISPUTE INFORMALLY BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR CLAIM TO WELLTHEORY BY EMAIL AT SUPPORT@WELLTHEORY.COM OR BY CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO WELL THEORY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 68 TUSCALOOSA, ATHERTON, CA 94027.

OUR NOTICE TO YOU WILL BE SIMILAR IN FORM TO THAT DESCRIBED ABOVE.

ALL DISPUTES SUBMITTED TO JAMS WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH CONFIDENTIAL, BINDING ARBITRATION.

YOU AND WELLTHEORY AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED AND RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE JAMS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES (“JAMS RULES”). THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THE JAMS RULES ARE ON THE JAMS WEBSITE AND ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO THESE TERMS BY REFERENCE. YOU EITHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE JAMS RULES OR WAIVE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO READ THE JAMS RULES AND WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT THE JAMS RULES ARE UNFAIR OR SHOULD NOT APPLY FOR ANY REASON.
- YOU AND WELLTHEORY AGREE THAT THESE TERMS AFFECT INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND THAT THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SECTION 16 WILL BE SUBSTANTIVELY AND PROCEDURALLY GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, 9 U.S.C. § 1, ET SEQ. (THE “FAA”), TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. AS LIMITED BY THE FAA, THESE TERMS AND THE JAMS RULES, THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ALL PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE DECISIONS REGARDING ANY DISPUTE AND TO GRANT ANY REMEDY THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE IN COURT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE POWER TO DETERMINE THE QUESTION OF ARBITRABILITY. THE ARBITRATOR MAY CONDUCT ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL’S CLAIMS, PRESIDE OVER ANY TYPE OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR PRESIDE OVER ANY PROCEEDING INVOLVING MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL.
- THE ARBITRATION WILL ALLOW FOR THE DISCOVERY OR EXCHANGE OF NON-PRIVILEGED INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE DISPUTE. THE ARBITRATOR, WELLTHEORY AND YOU WILL ALL MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ANY AND ALL ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION INFORMATION GATHERED, PREPARED AND PRESENTED FOR PURPOSES OF THE ARBITRATION OR RELATED TO THE DISPUTE(S) THEREIN. THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE APPROPRIATE RULINGS TO SAFEGUARD CONFIDENTIALITY, UNLESS APPLICABLE LAW PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY. THE DUTY OF CONFIDENTIALITY DOES NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT THAT DISCLOSURE IS NECESSARY TO PREPARE FOR A PRELIMINARY REMEDY OR IN CONNECTION WITH A JUDICIAL CHALLENGE TO AN ARBITRATION AWARD OR ITS ENFORCEMENT, OR TO THE EXTENT THAT DISCLOSURE IS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW OR JUDICIAL DECISION.
- YOU AND WELLTHEORY AGREE THAT FOR ANY ARBITRATION YOU INITIATE, YOU WILL PAY THE FILING FEE (UP TO A MAXIMUM OF $250 IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER) AND WELLTHEORY WILL PAY THE REMAINING JAMS FEES AND COSTS.

- ANY CLAIM YOU WISH TO ASSERT AGAINST WELLTHEORY OR ANOTHER WELLTHEORY PARTY MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION UNDERLYING SUCH CLAIM FIRST AROSE; OTHERWISE THE DISPUTE IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THE CLAIM IF YOU FAIL TO NOTIFY WELLTHEORY OF THE DISPUTE WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD.
- YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF BINDING ARBITRATION WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE YOU FIRST ACCEPTED THESE TERMS. TO OPT OUT, PLEASE EMAIL SUPPORT@WELLTHEORY.COM WITH YOUR REQUEST TO BE OPTED OUT. IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE OPT OUT NOTICE MUST INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS, AND CLEARLY INDICATE YOUR INTENT TO OPT OUT OF BINDING ARBITRATION. BY OPTING OUT OF BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 17.

FURTHER, IF ANY PART OF THIS SECTION 16 IS FOUND TO PROHIBIT AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIM SEEKING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, THAT PROVISION WILL HAVE NO EFFECT TO THE EXTENT SUCH RELIEF IS ALLOWED TO BE SOUGHT OUT OF ARBITRATION, AND THE REMAINDER OF THIS SECTION 16 WILL BE ENFORCEABLE.
17. CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
