11. Disputes

11.1. Please read this arbitration agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Health Science Mag and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

11.2. Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator, instead of in a court by a judge or jury. You and Health Science Mag each waive the right to a trial by jury. Such disputes include, without limitation, disputes about the interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including its enforceability, revocability or validity, in whole or in part. All such matters will be decided by an arbitrator and not by a court or judge.

11.3. You agree that any arbitration under the Terms will take place on an individual basis. Class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and you are giving up the ability to participate in a class action.

11.4. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by emailing hello@healthsciencemag.com with your first name, last name and address within thirty (30) days of accepting this agreement to arbitrate, together with a statement that you decline this arbitration agreement.

11.5. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/consumer. The arbitrator will conduct any hearings by teleconference or videoconference rather than in person, unless the arbitrator decides, at your request or ours, that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person hearing will be held at a location reasonably convenient to both parties, with due consideration of their ability to travel and other relevant circumstances. If the parties cannot agree on a location, the AAA or the arbitrator will decide. The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator may award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief, or relief requiring specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award may be confirmed and enforced in any court with jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms prevents you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, which, where the law allows, may seek relief against us on your behalf.

12. General provisions

12.1. Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles and regardless of your location.

12.2. Electronic communications. Communications between you and Health Science Mag take place electronically, whether you visit the Health Science Mag Properties or email us, or we post notices on the Health Science Mag Properties or email you. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from Health Science Mag electronically; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that Health Science Mag provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were in writing. This does not affect your statutory rights. You may request a copy of these Terms or any other contractual document, or contact us at any time, by emailing hello@healthsciencemag.com.

12.3. Assignment. You may not assign, subcontract, delegate or otherwise transfer the Terms, or your rights and obligations under them, without Health Science Mag’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation or transfer in violation of this provision will be null and void.

12.4. Force majeure. Health Science Mag will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

12.5. Compliance. If you believe that Health Science Mag has not complied with the Terms, please contact us at hello@healthsciencemag.com. We will do our best to address your concerns. If you feel your complaint has not been fully resolved, please let us know so we can investigate further.

12.6. Waiver. Any waiver of, or failure to enforce, any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be considered a waiver of any other provision or of the same provision on any other occasion.

12.7. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any part of these Terms invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that part will be severed from the rest of the Terms, which will remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.8. Entire agreement. The Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement between the parties on their subject matter, and supersede and merge all prior discussions between the parties on that subject matter.
