Please thoroughly review all materials in each product before purchase. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dr. Kaitlyn Kuo and Associates, our subsidiaries, affiliates and vendors, and each of their affiliates and related entities and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and costs (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), arising out of, relating to or in connection with your use of the Site including, but not limited to, (i) your violation of these Terms of Use, (ii) any use of the products outside of their intended use, (iii) any harm caused to a third party, or (iv) any activity related to your purchase or use of the Site.

Security

Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. We reserve the right to investigate occurrences and prosecute any user(s) who are involved in such violations. You are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the Site, including, without limitation, the following:

Accessing data not intended for you or logging on to a server or account, which you are not authorized to access;

Attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization (or succeeding in such an attempt);
Attempting to interfere or interfering with the operation of the Site, our provision of services to any other visitors to the Site, our hosting provider or our network, including, without limitation, via means of submitting a virus to the Site, overloading, “flooding”, “mailbombing” or “crashing” the Site; and
Forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail or transmission to the Site.

Geographical Use

Although this Site may be accessible worldwide, we make no representation that materials on this Site or the services provided through this Site are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States of America and Canada. We make no claims that the Site is accessible or appropriate outside of the United States and Canada. Access to the Services may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Services from outside the United States or Canada, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement, your use of the Site, purchases made through the Site, or to any products or services sold, distributed, or manufactured by Dr. Kaitlyn Kuo and Associates will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court (i.e., you are waiving your right to sue in court), except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. Disputes subject to arbitration include without limitation disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this dispute resolution provision. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this dispute resolution 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 the terms of this Agreement as a court would.

The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, Inc. under its rules by a single arbitrator experienced in commercial disputes. The JAMS’ rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator shall issue a written award setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS’ rules. However, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith [a] we will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, and [b] in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Dr. Kaitlyn Kuo and Associates will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration. Likewise, Dr. Kaitlyn Kuo and Associates will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless permitted by law and the arbitrator determines the claim(s) asserted against Dr. Kaitlyn Kuo and Associates are frivolous or brought in bad faith.

YOU AND DR. KAITLYN KUO AND ASSOCIATES EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the class, consolidated, and representative action waiver in the prior sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Dr. Kaitlyn Kuo and Associates is entitled to arbitration.

To provide us with notice of an arbitration demand, send the demand to our registered agent: Legal Department, Dr. Kaitlyn Kuo and Associates drkaitlynkuo@gmail.com the Subject Heading: Arbitration Demand.

In the event that any provision of these Terms of use is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Use, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of the Terms of Use or your use of the Site. You may not assign the Terms of Use or any of your rights or obligations under the Terms without our express written consent.
