10.
Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.
10.1
Governing Law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provision in
Section 10.2 below (the “Arbitration Provision”) and preempts all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA is determined to not apply
to any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration Provision, then that issue shall be resolved under and governed by the law of your state of
residence. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Reston, Virginia for any actions for
which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement
, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other Intellectual Property or proprietary rights, as set
forth in the Arbitration Provision, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Reston, Virginia is the proper
and exclusive forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration Provision is found to be
unenforceable.
10.2
Arbitration.
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. This
Arbitration Provision applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and us that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly:
(a) these Terms, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, or enforceability thereof; (b) access to
or use of the Service, including receipt of any advertising, marketing, or other communications from us; (c) any transactions through, by, or using the
Service; or (d) any other aspect of your relationship or transactions with us, directly or indirectly, as a User or consumer (“Claim” or collectively
, “Claims”). The Arbitration Provision shall apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your consent to these Terms.
If you are a new User, you can reject and opt-out of this Arbitration Provision within thirty (30) days of accepting these Terms by emailing us at
referrals@1strehab.com with your first and last name and stating your intent to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision. Opting out of this Arbitration
Provision does not affect the binding nature of any other part of these Terms, including the provisions regarding controlling law or in which courts any
disputes must be brought.
For any Claim, you agree to first contact us at referrals@1strehab.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event
that we have not been able to resolve a Claim after sixty (60) days, each of you and QTC Commercial Services, LLC. agrees to resolve the Claim through
binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS (the “Rules”), except as provided herein.
JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com, where the Rules are available. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement
, the Arbitration Provision shall control. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. county where you live or Los Angeles, California, unless you
and QTC Commercial Services, LLC. agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any
JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator will include costs of arbitration
, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes:
(a) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS;
(b) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert
and other witnesses; and (c) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not
absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered
in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and QTC Commercial Services, LLC. agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or
agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this
Arbitration Provision, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Provision is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible
for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, is unconscionable
or illusory or any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, or estoppel.
NOTHING IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL BE DEEMED AS: PREVENTING US FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM THE COURTS AS NECESSARY
TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF OUR DATA SECURITY, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHER PROPRIETARY
RIGHTS; OR PREVENTING YOU FROM ASSERTING CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES
ON ONLY AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-COLLECTIVE, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.
If this Arbitration Provision is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision
, in whole or in part, shall be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall have no impact on the
remaining provisions of the Arbitration Provision, which shall remain in force, or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on
an individual basis pursuant to this Arbitration Provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the class action/jury trial waiver in Section 10.3 is found
to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, because it would prevent you from seeking public injunctive relief, then any dispute regarding
the entitlement to such relief (and only that relief) must be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction.
All other claims for relief subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be arbitrated under its terms, and the parties agree that
litigation of any dispute regarding the entitlement to public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
10.3
Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL
CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION,
PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSONS CLAIMS. YOU AND QTC Commercial Services, LLC. AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO
AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED MAY NOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
YOU AND QTC Commercial Services, LLC. AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND QTC Commercial Services, LLC. ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
11.

entire agreement between you and us concerning the Service. None of our employees or representatives are authorized to make any modification or addition
to these Terms. Any statements or comments made between you and any of our employees or representatives are expressly excluded from these Terms and will
not apply to you or us or your use of the Service. Except as otherwise stated in the Arbitration Provision, if any provision of these Terms is deemed

, which will remain in full force and effect.
