CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, WILL (I) WE OR OUR AFFILIATES,
CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSSES OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF REVENUE, ANTICIPATED
PROFITS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY) THAT RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE
SERVICES OR ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS THEREIN, OR ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH COMPANY, EVEN
IF COMPANY OR A COMPANY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES; OR (II) OUR OR OUR AFFILIATES’, CONTRACTORS’, EMPLOYEES’, AGENTS’, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS’,
LICENSORS’, OR SUPPLIERS’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE PROVIDER TERMS OR YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER PROVIDERS OR USERS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT,
INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). Applicable law
may not allow the limitations on implied warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. You may have additional rights
under applicable law. In such event, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
a. Governing Law. These Provider Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and we agree that (i) these Provider Terms affect interstate commerce and any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Provider Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16); and (ii) . The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You and Company agree that jurisdiction, proper venue, and the most convenient forums for all claims, actions, and proceedings of any kindrelating to the Services or these Provider Terms that are not subject to mandatory arbitration will be exclusively in the federal or state courts located in San Francisco, California. You agree that San Francisco, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings involving claims not subject to mandatory arbitration, as well as for any actions for injunctive or other equitable relief.
b. Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY. For any dispute with Company, you agree to first contact us at legal@joinmodernhealth.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Provider Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS (a United States-based organization offering alternative dispute resolution services, formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services). The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting
class actions. The JAMS Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco, California, unless the parties agree otherwise. All submissions to the arbitrator, the proceedings, and the award shall be confidential, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or as otherwise required by law. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
c. Exceptions to Arbitration. The above arbitration agreement does not preclude you or us from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. Both parties also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, both parties retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these User Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall 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 or other proprietary rights.
d. Jury Trial Waiver. The parties understand and agree that they are giving up their right to have a trial by jury with respect to the Claims. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and other rights that a party would have in court may not be available in arbitration.e. Class Action Waiver. The parties agree that all claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacities only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. The parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. This waiver applies to arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE USER TERMS, BOTH PARTIES ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
f. Claims. You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred. There may be jurisdictions in which this contractual limit on the statute of limitations does not apply.
g. Enforceability. If any provision of this Section 17 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Provider Terms. This Section will survive the termination of these Provider Terms for the maximum period permitted under applicable law. TO THE EXTENT THIS SECTION CONFLICTS WITH THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ATTACHED TO YOUR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT, THE LATTER ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL CONTROL AS TO ANY INCONSISTENT PROVISION.
a. Modification of the Provider Terms. Company reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Provider Terms at any time.

By continuing to use the Services, you agree to any changes to these Provider Terms.

Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address if you have provided one to us through the Services. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing. Notice posted by us on the Services is deemed given five (5) days following the initial posting.

Company is not responsible for any automatic filtering that may be in place in relation to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us.

d. Severability. If any provision of these Provider Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from these Provider Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
