15. Dispute resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

You agree that any dispute between you and Ducere arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the associated Privacy Policy, or your access to or use of the GaitReady Service (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Governing Law: Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Informal Dispute Resolution: Before filing an arbitration claim or a legal case, if you have opted out of the arbitration agreement, against Ducere, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting support@gaitready.com. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Ducere may bring a formal proceeding.

We Agree to Arbitrate: You and Ducere agree to resolve any disputes through final and binding arbitration, unless you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, and except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting support@gaitready.com within 90 days after first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration Procedures: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Washington, DC, or any other location we agree to.

Arbitration Fees: The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you or Ducere may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Washington, D.C. or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the GaitReady Service, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions: You may only resolve disputes with Ducere on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under our agreement.

Judicial Forum for Disputes: Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Ducere agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Washington, D.C. You and Ducere consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. All parties agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Limitation on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the GaitReady Service must be filed within three (3) years after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

16. General terms

Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement by Ducere and you regarding the GaitReady Service, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Ducere and you regarding the GaitReady Service.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision.

Ducere may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms to any company under common control with Ducere. Additionally, Ducere may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms to a third party in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, by operation of law or otherwise.

We will notify you before we make material changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review the revised Terms before continuing to use the GaitReady Service. When you use the GaitReady Service after a modification becomes effective, you are telling us that you accept the modified Terms.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. We may assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email or (ii) by posting to the GaitReady Service. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt on the message will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by our duly authorized representative. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by any party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

Additional terms may apply to certain products or services. In the event that there is a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms, the additional terms will control.
