TERMS OF USE
Please read the following Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use”) carefully. These Terms of Use govern your use of www.mdvip.com or any other MDVIP related website or page (collectively, the “Site”), which includes the Site itself, and any web pages, interactive features, applications, widgets, blogs, social networks, social network “tabs,” or other online, mobile, or wireless offerings that post a link to these Terms of Use, whether accessed via computer, mobile device, or other technology, manner or means. The Site is the property of MDVIP (as defined below) (“MDVIP”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and its licensors. By accessing, browsing, downloading, using, or registering to receive any content or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms of Use and that you accept and agree to be bound by them in full. Any use of the Site is at the sole risk of the user. References to “MDVIP” in these Terms of Use shall include MDVIP and all of its respective members, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, and employees.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SET FORTH BELOW CAREFULLY, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT AND USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE OUR WEBSITE.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Please read this section carefully, as it affects rights that you may otherwise have and provides for resolution of disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and has limited discovery. Arbitration is also final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against MDVIP, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against MDVIP by someone else.
Any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving MDVIP, including, without limitation, any services, representations, acts or omissions, the use of this website, the terms of use and/or privacy policy, MDVIP’s marketing, and/or any agreement (including the validity, breach, interpretation, formation, arbitrability, inducement, or enforcement thereof) shall be resolved exclusively through binding Arbitration before a neutral arbitrator in the county where the Member resides. Each party will reasonably participate in the process of choosing the neutral arbitrator, who shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any claim(s) between the parties under any legal theory, whether based in contract, statute, tort, fraud, etc. Arbitration shall be conducted through Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (“JAMS”), or another arbitrator if not arbitrable through JAMS. JAMS rules in effect at the time of filing, including its Expedited Procedures, will apply to the Arbitration and can be found at: www.jamsadr.com. Arbitration shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not on a class or consolidated basis. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in lieu of Arbitration if the suit qualifies.
THE PARTIES FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO (1) GO TO COURT; (2) HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY; AND (3) PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern this agreement to arbitrate. The neutral arbitrator has the authority to award whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. In the event of Arbitration, MDVIP will pay all costs related to the Arbitration; however, each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees, if any. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of any agreement, relationship, or interaction with MDVIP.
