9. MODIFICATION OF TERMS
With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement (see “Dispute Resolution” section) included below, MyAdvo reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice to you. If we materially change or modify these Terms, we will let you know by posting a new version of the Terms on the Platform and we will change the “Last Updated” date above. Users have a responsibility to periodically review the Terms to stay informed.
If you continue to use the Platform after we have informed you of the changes, you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you should immediately stop using the Platform and delete all files associated with the Platform on your computer and/or mobile device. You can also request deletion of your Personal Data, as outlined in the Privacy Policy.
10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
You agree that any dispute between you and MyAdvo 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 Dispute Resolution section may be modified by written agreement between you and MyAdvo.
A. Informal Dispute Resolution
Before filing a claim against MyAdvo, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting info@HelloMyAdvo.com. Most User concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction through email. If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after submission, you may bring a formal proceeding, as outlined below.
B. Arbitration Agreement
In the unlikely event that our support team is unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), including, but not limited to, any alleged breach of these Terms, you agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration. Arbitration, which is often less expensive, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, and may, but do not have to, award legal fees, arbitrator’s fees and costs, and other costs incurred by the party that does not win the dispute. You agree that any dispute will be exclusively, fully, and finally resolved using binding arbitration through the American Health Lawyers Association (“AHLA”).
C. Cost of Arbitration
You and MyAdvo 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.
D. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitration
MyAdvo may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Platform 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 MYADVO 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.
E. Opt Out of Alternative Dispute Resolution Process
Notwithstanding the above, you can decline or “opt out” of the alternative dispute resolution process described above by contacting info@HelloMyAdvo.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 A 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.
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 submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State (insert state) 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 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.
11. PROVIDING FEEDBACK
We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Platform and our services (“Feedback”). You may submit Feedback by e-mailing us at info@HelloMyAdvo.com. You acknowledge and agree that if you submit any Feedback to us, you grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and transferable license under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.
