OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any dispute between you and Core Medical Equipment, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, 'Core Medical Equipment') arising from or relating to these Terms of Use and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms of Use, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, "Covered Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS, Inc. under its rules applicable to consumer disputes, in effect on the date thereof. Information on JAMS and how to start arbitration can be found at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 800-352-5267. For purposes of this section, these Terms of Use and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days' advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. Core Medical Equipment will provide such notice by e-mail to your e-mail address on file with Core Medical Equipment and you must provide such notice by e-mail to legal@coremedicalequipment.com. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever individual relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Core Medical Equipment and you agree that any Covered Dispute hereunder will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Neither Core Medical Equipment nor you are entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative or private attorney action and the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative or private attorney general basis. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration).

Notwithstanding any provision in these terms to the contrary, we agree that if Core Medical Equipment makes any future material change to this dispute resolution provision, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to Core Medical Equipment. In the event that this arbitration agreement does not apply to a given dispute, then the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Cole County, Missouri to resolve such claims.

Term and Termination

Subject to this Section, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. We may (a) suspend your rights to use the Site (as well as your Core Account) or (b) terminate this Agreement, at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the Site in violation of this Agreement or if we believe you are younger than 18. Upon termination of this Agreement, your Core Account and right to access and use the Site will terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of your Core Account may involve deletion of any User Content you may have posted. Core Medical Equipment will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of this Agreement, including for termination of your Core Account or deletion of your User Content.

The provisions herein related to our intellectual property rights, user content, acceptable use, disclaimer of warranties, indemnity, limitation and liability, and arbitration together with any other rights and obligations which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination, will survive any termination of these Terms of Use.
