However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a user’s satisfaction. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Sites will be resolved by binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, either party must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing the claim to the other party. If you are sending an arbitration request letter to Hahnemann University Hospital, such letter shall be sent to the address set forth below. The arbitration will be conducted by one mutually acceptable arbitrator through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration, if in person, will be conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. In addition, you and Hahnemann University Hospital each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. You and Hahnemann University Hospital both agree that you or Hahnemann University Hospital may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Hahnemann University Hospital agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. You further agree and expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in connection with any such claim. All matters relating to the Sites and these Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. No waiver of by the Hahnemann University Hospital of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Hahnemann University Hospital to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. These Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the use of the Sites and Content. The Effective Date of these Terms of Use is set forth at the top of this webpage. We may change these Terms of Use from time to time in our discretion. Changes will be posted to this webpage.
