GOVERNING LAW

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, exclusive of its choice of law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from this arbitration clause (as set forth below) must be brought in the Santa Clara Superior Court or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The parties consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, California.


 

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Time is of the essence for any arbitration under these Terms and arbitration hearings shall take place within 90 days of filing and awards rendered within 120 days. Arbitrator(s) shall agree to these limits prior to accepting appointment. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators' and administrative fees of arbitration. 

 

We agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are exceptions to this arbitration clause and must be brought in a judicial proceeding either in the Santa Clara Superior Court or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California: (i) any claim or cause of action alleging actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our name, logo, Site Content, or any intellectual property rights of My Medical Connections; or (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack). In the event that any portion of this arbitration clause is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of this arbitration clause will be given full force and effect.

If for any reason a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effectuate the intent of the parties as reflected by that provision, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
