DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Except if you opt-out or for disputes relating to: (1) your or our intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents); or (2) violations of the API terms ("Excluded Disputes"), you agree that all disputes between you and us (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with us, including without limitation disputes related to these Terms, your use of the Services, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and you and us hereby expressly waive the right to a trial by jury. As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local "small claims" court, if permitted by that small claims court's rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor us will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account, if we are a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either we or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor us can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out: Diet ID, Inc., c/o WeWork, 1001 Woodward Ave, Suite 500, Detroit, MI 48226.

 

You must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your Diet ID account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

 

If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration and waiver of jury trial agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us and termination of these Terms.

 

TIME LIMITATION ON CLAIMS

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with us must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

 

GOVERNING LAW & VENUE

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms, the Excluded Disputes or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree to resolve any dispute you have with us exclusively in a state or federal court located in Wayne County, Michigan and to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Wayne County, Michigan for the purpose of arbitrating and litigating all such disputes. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. All waivers must be in writing and signed by us. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. We reserve the right to change the dispute resolution provision and this provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with us.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us and governs your use of the Services, superseding and replacing any prior understandings, promises, representations and agreements, whether written or oral, between you and us. You will not assign the Terms or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without our prior written consent will be null and void. We may assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without your consent. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or during arbitration to be unlawful, void, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that such portion will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the remaining provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms. These Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change these Terms ("Updated Terms") from time to time. Unless we make a change for legal or administrative reasons, we will provide reasonable advance notice before the Updated Terms become effective. You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the Service, and that your use of the Service after the effective date of the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these Terms and any Updated Terms before using the Service. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of the Service from that point forward. These Terms will govern any disputes arising before the effective date of the Updated Terms.
