Services.

TheraWIDE provides a technology platform via the Website that allows participating health care professionals (“Providers”) to offer internet-based video sessions to their clients (“Clients”) and may from time to time provide certain related services. TheraWIDE is not itself a provider of health care services, and Providers are not acting as employees or agents of TheraWIDE.

The Website makes certain services available to its users, including, without limitation, the following services (collectively, the “Website Services”), as from time to time offered by the Website:
(a) the facilitation of internet-based video communications between and among Clients and Providers; and
(b) such other services as are from time to time described and/or offered on the Website.
Not a Healthcare Provider; No Medical Advice.

While we enable Clients and Providers to communicate with one another, we are not responsible for monitoring such information and communications, and we are not a party to transactions that may occur between Clients and Providers. In addition, we are not responsible for and we expressly disclaim all liability that may result from information made available by Clients or Providers and the conduct of Clients and Providers, whether online or offline. TheraWIDE does not sponsor, endorse, recommend or approve of any Provider, nor do we make any representations or warranties about the quality, timing or legality of the products or services they provide. Additionally, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that any Provider is licensed, qualified, insured or capable of performing any product or service, and we make no representations or warranties about the suitability, reliability or accuracy of the products and services they provide.

TheraWIDE IS NOT A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, AND THE WEBSITE SERVICES DO NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL CARE, HEALTH CARE SERVICES, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BY TheraWIDE. While the Website Services may allow Providers to communicate with Clients, the Website Services cannot and are not intended to provide medical advice. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding your personal health or medical conditions. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem or condition, please contact a qualified healthcare professional immediately.

If any medical advice is provided to you by a Provider through the Website Services, such medical advice is not provided by TheraWIDE but is provided by your Provider.

No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions

You and TheraWIDE agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Website or Website Services is personal to you and TheraWIDE, and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and TheraWIDE agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and TheraWIDE agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.

Federal Arbitration Act

You and TheraWIDE agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 16 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and TheraWIDE agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to TheraWIDE shall be sent by certified mail or courier to 4525 North Ravenswood Avenue, Suite 201, Chicago, IL 60640.

If you and TheraWIDE cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or TheraWIDE may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 16, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 16.1, file a claim in court.

Process

EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A VIOLATION OF SECTION 10 OR DISPUTES IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES, LOGOS, TRADE SECRETS OR PATENTS, YOU AND TheraWIDE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED OR FILED BY YOU OR TheraWIDE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THE DISPUTE AROSE, OTHERWISE THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED (WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND TheraWIDE WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM REGARDING THE DISPUTE). You and TheraWIDE agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in the State of Illinois, Cook County, or in the county in which you reside, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of Illinois and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Illinois, Cook County, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.

Authority of Arbitrator

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained in this Section 16, are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.

Rules of JAMS

The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

Severability

If any term, clause or provision of this Section 16 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 16 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 16.2 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 16 by writing to: (1) E-mail address: therawide@gmail.com.
