14. Dispute Resolution
- If you have a Dispute with us (including any Dispute over the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Dispute resolution provision), it must be resolved by arbitration (not in court) unless it qualifies for small claims court or requires injunctive relief. If you do not want to be bound by this arbitration provision, you may opt out. To opt out of arbitration, send a written notice within 30 days of your acceptance of this Agreement, stating that you do not want to use arbitration to resolve Disputes with us. Written notices should be sent by mail to: SimplePractice, LLC, c/o Compliance Manager, 2834 Colorado Ave., Suite 200 Santa Monica, CA 90404.
- The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf, as amended by this Agreement. Hearings will be by phone or video, unless in-person is requested by you or TYH and the arbitrator determines in-person is more appropriate. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the AAA or the arbitrator will determine the location. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award equitable and necessary relief.. The award determined by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court with legal jurisdiction. This arbitration provision does not affect your right to bring issues to government agencies.
- If you opt out of arbitration, disputes will be handled in Los Angeles federal and state courts under California law. This Agreement and the relationship between you and TYH will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Each party will still be allowed to apply for equitable relief to protect or enforce that party’s Intellectual Property Rights in any court of competent jurisdiction where the other party resides or has its principal place of business.
- You agree to bring claims against TYH individually, not as part of a class action. If a court or arbitrator finds that the class action waiver in this section is unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then the class action waiver will not apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this dispute resolution section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of this section remaining in full force and effect.
15. Government Use and Export Control
