AURANEXUS IS NOT A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, AND THE SERVICE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL CARE, MENTAL HEALTH CARE, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

We make the Site available as a service to you for the purpose of providing informational and educational resources. You acknowledge that although Content (defined below) may be provided by Providers through accessing the Service, the provision of such Content does not create a medical professional and patient relationship. If providing such Content is ever deemed to be the provision of health care services, such Content does not constitute a medical opinion or advice, or diagnosis or treatment. AuraNexus recommends that you seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider regarding your personal health or medical conditions. If any health or medical advice is provided to you by a Provider through the Service, such advice is not provided, sponsored, recommended or approved by AuraNexus and does not constitute a medical opinion or advice, or diagnosis or treatment. “Content” means content, text, data, graphics, images, photographs, video, audio, information, suggestions, guidance, and other materials provided, made available or otherwise found through the Service, including without limitation any Content provided in response to your questions or postings.

WHILE THE PLATFORM ENABLES END USERS AND PROVIDERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING SUCH INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS, BUT RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO, AND WE ARE NOT A PARTY TO TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY OCCUR BETWEEN END USERS AND PROVIDERS EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS TOS. BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU KNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, ALL LIABILITY THAT MAY RESULT FROM INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE BY END USERS OR PROVIDERS AND THE CONDUCT OF END USERS AND PROVIDERS, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE. AURANEXUS DOES NOT SPONSOR, ENDORSE OR RECOMMEND ANY PROVIDER, NOR DO WE MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE QUALITY, TIMING OR LEGALITY OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. ADDITIONALLY, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ANY PROVIDER IS LICENSED, QUALIFIED, INSURED OR CAPABLE OF PERFORMING ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE, AND WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE SUITABILITY, RELIABILITY OR ACCURACY OF ANY OF THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR CONTENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN BY YOU IN RELIANCE ON ANY SUCH PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR CONTENT. FURTHERMORE, WE DO NOT IN ANY WAY ENDORSE OR RECOMMEND ANY INDIVIDUAL LISTED OR ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE SERVICES.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold AuraNexus and the Related Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities damages and losses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, (“Losses”) resulting from or arising out of (a) your use of the Service; or (b) your breach of this ToS or any other policies that AuraNexus may issue for the Service from time to time. If you are a Provider, you additionally agree to defend, indemnify and hold AuraNexus and the Related Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of the services you provide and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, or otherwise suffered or incurred by you in connection with the fulfillment of or failure to perform such services.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This ToS is governed by California law, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You and AuraNexus agree that, except as otherwise provided in Section 18 below, the state and federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, California will have exclusive jurisdiction of all disputes arising out of or related to this ToS or your use of the Site, the App, the Platform or the Service and agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AuraNexus shall be allowed to apply for equitable remedies (including injunctions) in any jurisdiction.

18.Binding Arbitration.

Arbitration Procedures. You and AuraNexus agree that, except as provided in Section 18(d) below, all disputes, controversies and claims related to this ToS (each a “Claim”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in this ToS. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section 18 and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section 18 will control and prevail.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 18(d), you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and AuraNexus will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this ToS, (a) you and AuraNexus may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (b) the arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.

Location. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone or internet connection appearances.

Limitations. You and AuraNexus agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between AuraNexus and you individually. YOU AND AURANEXUS AGREE THAT (a) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (b) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (c) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.

Exceptions to Arbitration. You and AuraNexus agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of AuraNexus’s intellectual property rights; (b) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules.

Severability. You and AuraNexus agree that if any portion of this Section 18 is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 18(d)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 18(d) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor AuraNexus will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 18(d) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, California, and you and AuraNexus agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

General.

ToS Revisions. This ToS may only be revised in a writing signed by AuraNexus, or published by AuraNexus on the Site.

No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and AuraNexus as a result of this ToS or your use of the Service.

Assignment. AuraNexus may assign its rights under this ToS to any person or entity without your consent. The rights granted to you under this ToS may not be assigned without AuraNexus’s prior written consent, and any attempted unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void.

Severability. If any part of this ToS is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of the ToS shall be given full force and effect.

Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any litigation or arbitration is brought by either party in connection with this ToS, except as otherwise provided in Section 18(e), the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this ToS shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect our right to enforce the same provision at a later time. An express waiver by AuraNexus of any provision, condition or requirement of this ToS shall not be understood as a waiver of your obligation to comply with the same provision, condition or requirement at a later time.

Notices. All notices given by you or required under this ToS shall be in writing and sent to [email protected].

Equitable Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that AuraNexus would be irreparably damaged if this ToS were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this ToS, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.

Entire Agreement. This ToS, including the documents referenced in this ToS, constitutes the entire agreement between you and AuraNexus with respect to the Service and supersedes any and all prior agreements between you and AuraNexus relating to the Service.
