WE and or OUR LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE TESTING PLATFORM AND WEBSITE OR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE TESTING PLATFORM AND WEBSITE, ANY RELIANCE PLACED BY YOU ON THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY PROVIDER’S HEALTHCARE SERVICE, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY RELATIONSHIP OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY PROVIDER, OR YOU AND ANY INDIVIDUAL IF YOU ARE A PROVIDER, EVEN IF WE and or OUR LICENSORS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ALTHOUGH WE MAY PROVIDE ACCESS TO PROVIDERS, WE WILL NOT ASSESS THE SUITABILITY OR ABILITY OF SUCH PROVIDERS AND YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND RELEASE US FROM ANY AND ALL ANY LIABILITY, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE HEALTHCARE SERVICES RENDERED OR NOT RENDERED BY PROVIDERS. WE WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO DISPUTES, OR NEGOTIATIONS OF DISPUTES BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS AND PROVIDERS. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE REGARDING HEALTHCARE SERVICES PROVIDED BY PROVIDERS RESTS SOLELY WITH YOU. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR CERTAIN OTHER DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

17. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold the SafeguardPass Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any claims relating to (a) your use of the Testing Platform and Website (including any actions taken by a third party), and (b) your violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action ("Claim"), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for you (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

18. Force Majeure

SafeguardPass will not be liable for failing to perform under these Terms by the occurrence of any event beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, a labor disturbance, an Internet outage or interruption of service, a communications outage, failure by a service provider to SafeguardPass to perform, fire, terrorism, natural disaster, epidemic or pandemic, issuance of government order or enactment of laws, rules, or regulations, civil unrest, or war.

19. Assignment

You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without SafeguardPass’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.

20. Limitation of Actions

You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of, relating to, or connected with your use of the Testing Platform and Website must be filed within one calendar year after such claim or cause of action arises, or forever be barred.

21. Choice of Law

These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Except as provided in these Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings pursuant to these Terms. In the event that the Federal Arbitration Act is found to be inapplicable to all or part of any proceeding pursuant to these Terms, New York law pertaining to agreements to arbitrate shall apply.

22. Arbitration Agreement

Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with SafeguardPass and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from SafeguardPass. Both you and SafeguardPass acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, SafeguardPass’s officers, directors, employees, volunteers, team members and independent contractors ("Personnel") are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.
(a). Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Testing Platform and Website (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and 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 party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Arbitration Agreement" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Arbitration Agreement" section will survive any termination of these Terms.
(b). Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
(c). Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
(d). Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.
(e). Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
(f). Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the modification-related provisions above, if we change this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated Date" above. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and us in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

23. Miscellaneous

The failure or delay of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms are found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and SafeguardPass agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and SafeguardPass, and that these Terms supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. Except as specified in these Terms, SafeguardPass support staff or other SafeguardPass employees do not have the authority to amend any of these Terms or to bind SafeguardPass to any legal or other obligation not already set forth in these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of SafeguardPass, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind SafeguardPass in any respect whatsoever.
Except as expressly set forth in the sections above regarding the Apple Application and the arbitration agreement, you and SafeguardPass agree there are no third-party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
