16.Governing Law and Jurisdiction

17.Arbitration

Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 22. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting us at our Notice address listed below.) You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If you seek arbitration or elect to file a small claim court action, you must first send BioVeritas, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (a “Notice”) to our General Counsel in accordance with the terms here. If BioVeritas initiates the arbitration, it will send such Notice to you in accordance with the terms here. A Notice, whether sent by you or BioVeritas, must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) describe the specific relief sought (the “Demand”). If you and BioVeritas do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or BioVeritas may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.

You may download or copy of form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at https://www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after BioVeritas receives the notice at the address listed below that you have commenced arbitration, BioVeritas will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000, in which event you will be responsible for the filing fees.

If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If you claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of BioVeritas last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if BioVeritas did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then BioVeritas will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, neither you nor BIOVERITAS will be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other customers in court or in arbitration or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member or in a private attorney general capacity. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

This arbitration clause shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be as set forth above.

18.Waiver and Severability

No waiver by BioVeritas of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of BioVeritas to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

19.Entire Agreement

The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and BioVeritas with respect to the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Website.
