Arbitration Agreement
Section 17
You agree that any dispute between You and Amblyopia Home arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by the dispute resolution procedure outlined below. We want to address Your concerns without needing a formal legal case, so We have included a tiered dispute resolution process. This Arbitration Agreement section may be modified by written agreement between You and Amblyopia Home.
Before filing a claim against Amblyopia Home, You agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting support@amblyopiahome.com. We will try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting You through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, You may bring a formal proceeding, as outlined below.
In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or a breach of these Terms, You must first attempt to settle the dispute with non-binding mediation through the American Health Lawyers Association (“AHLA”).
You shall, in writing, join Amblyopia Home in a joint demand for mediation and afterward jointly select a suitable mediator from the AHLA roster. If You and Amblyopia Home cannot agree upon a mediator, the AHLA shall designate one. The mediation will be conducted according to the AHLA’s Agreement to Mediate. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the mediator shall be non-binding, confidential, and inadmissible in arbitration or any other subsequent proceeding. Either You or Amblyopia Home shall have the right to bypass mediation and/or reject the Mediator’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations. In which event, all claims and disputes shall be exclusively, fully, and finally resolved using binding arbitration through the AHLA. You and Amblyopia Home agree to employ three (3) arbitrators (the “Panel”), where one arbitrator (1) is selected by You, one (1) is selected by Amblyopia Home, and the third (3rd) is selected by mutual consent of You and Amblyopia Home. If You and Amblyopia Home cannot agree upon the third arbitrator, the first two (2) arbitrators chosen shall select the third arbitrator. The selection decision shall be binding.
The arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or be solely based on written submissions—the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Panel may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and Amblyopia Home shall each pay 50% of all mediator and/or arbitrator costs, expenses, and fees incurred in connection with mediating and/or arbitrating under these Terms.
Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms must be initiated for mediation and/or arbitration within two (2) years from its accrual date. Any claim or dispute initiated two (2) years or longer from its accrual date shall be time-barred and dismissed.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Amblyopia Home may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the App or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH AMBLYOPIA HOME ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE.
Notwithstanding the above, You can decline or “opt out” of the alternative dispute resolution process described above by contacting support@amblyopiahome.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that You (first and last name) decline this dispute resolution process.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY NOT OPTING-OUT OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS DESCRIBED, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL TO WHICH YOU MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR LITIGATION IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE.
If You opt-out of the dispute resolution process described in this section, or if any matter is otherwise determined not to be subject to such dispute resolution process, You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Virginia within twenty-five (25) miles of Henrico, Virginia in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms. You agree that any and all claims and matters arising out of these Terms, unless subject to the dispute resolution process described above, may be heard and determined in any such court, and You hereby waive any right to object to such filing on grounds of improper venue, forum non-conveniens, or other venue-related grounds, unless such objection asserts that the claim or matter in dispute is subject to determination through the dispute resolution process described above.
