Terms of Service and EULA

Last Revised: July 18, 2023

Somnology, Inc. (“Somnology”, “we” or “us”) designs products that track everyday health and sleep to empower and inspire users to lead healthier lives. As provided below, Somnology grants you the right to use our sleep and electronic body monitoring products, including our software and mobile applications (“Software,” “App”), our SLaaS Platform (“SLaaS”), our websites (“Site”), including www.somnologymd.com, and services provided through the Site or Software (together, the “Service”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The term “you” refers to the person using the Service or products.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING “ACCEPT” OR ACCESSING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OR BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE SOMNOLOGY PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THE “TERMS”). If you are not eligible, or do not agree to the Terms, then you do not have our permission to use the Service.

THE SERVICE IS INTENDED ONLY TO RECORD, DISPLAY, STORE, AND TRANSMIT INFORMATION RELATED TO THE QUALITY OF YOUR SLEEP (“SLEEP DATA”). YOU, AS THE USER OF THE SERVICE, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SLEEP DATA RECORDED AND STORED BY THE SERVICE. THE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE OR TREAT ANY MEDICAL CONDITION OR AUTOMATICALLY ALERT YOU OR YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS. ALTHOUGH SOMNOLOGY MAY ENABLE YOU TO TRANSMIT SLEEP DATA TO YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, THE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING, AND WE DO NOT GUARANTEE A RESPONSE BY ANY HEALTHCARE PROVIDER TO SLEEP DATA REPORTED THROUGH THE SERVICE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PRESENT YOUR SLEEP DATA TO YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR PROPER ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSIS.

Unless you are a consumer located in a jurisdiction that prohibits the exclusive use of arbitration for dispute resolution, these Terms provide that all disputes between you and Somnology will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review Section 24 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration”) for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Somnology.

  1. Use of the Service.
    The Service is intended only to allow you to track certain measures of the quality of your sleep, provide analysis and reports about such data, and share such data with your healthcare professionals. You may not access or use the Service for any other purpose. You may use the Service, including any data presented to you on or by the Service, or otherwise hosted or stored by Somnology for you, only for lawful and appropriate purposes on your own behalf, and subject to your full compliance with these Terms and any other guidelines and policies applicable to the Service which Somnology may post from time to time.
  2. Eligibility.
    You must be 16 years of age to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 16 years of age; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in your local jurisdiction. Provided you are under 16 and should you use any of Somnology’s services, your use of service will be held subject to requirements of parental consent. Meaning: (a) your legal guardian or supervising parent is considered the user and held to the terms of this Agreement and will be held responsible for any actions involving Somnology’s App, SLaaS®, Somnology’s SomnoRing™, or any of Somnology’s products or software; (b) by signing this agreement, you are admitting your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to Somnology’s Terms of Service Agreement and Privacy Policy.  Somnology holds the right to alter eligibility criteria whenever we see fit, and thus Somnology may refuse to offer any service to any individual or legal entity.
  3. Accounts and Registration.
    To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your email address or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at support@somnologymd.com. Your account may automatically expire following any period of inactivity associated with your account in excess of twelve (12) consecutive months.
  4. Payment of Fees.
    Access to the Service, or to certain features of the Service, may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged.
  • 4.1. Non-Refundable. All fees are non-refundable, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
  • 4.2. Change of Fees. If Somnology changes the fees for the Service, including by adding additional fees or charges, Somnology will provide you advance notice of those changes. If you do not accept the changes, Somnology may discontinue providing the Service to you.
  • 4.3. Method of Payment. Somnology will charge the payment method you specify at the time of purchase. You authorize Somnology to charge all sums as described in these Terms, for the Service you select, to that payment method. If you pay any fees with a credit card, Somnology may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
  • 4.4. Recurring Payment. The Service may include functionality for activating, updating or canceling recurring payments for periodic charges. If you activate or update recurring payments through the Service, you authorize Somnology to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. If you use the Service to update or cancel any existing authorized one-time or recurring payment, it may take several business days for the update or cancellation to take effect.
  1. License.
    Somnology owns and operates the Service. The documents and other information and content available on the Service (the “Site Content“) are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws throughout the world. All copyright and other proprietary notices on any Site Content must be retained on any copies made thereof. Any unauthorized reproduction, modification, distribution, public display or public performance of any Site Content is strictly prohibited. Somnology and its suppliers reserve all rights not granted in these Terms.

    Subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms, Somnology grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App in object code format on devices that you own or control, solely for use with the Services. By downloading or using our app(s), you:

    • 5.1. Acknowledge that the App is licensed, not sold to you; and
    • 5.2. Acknowledge that third party terms and fees may apply to the use and operation of your device in connection with your use of the App, such as your carrier’s terms of services, and fees for phone service, data access, or messaging capabilities, and that you are solely responsible for payment of any and all such fees.
  2. Not Medical Advice.
    Under some circumstances, Somnology may present you with notifications or suggested actions based on Somnology’s analysis of your historical data and other information you have provided to Somnology. Those notifications or suggested actions, or lack thereof, are not an indication of your health, nor are those notifications or suggested actions intended to replace the opinion of your physician. It is your responsibility to present your data to your physician, and to discuss with your physician what the proper course of action is based on your medical history. Somnology makes no representations about accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any push notifications, as parts of the process for providing such notifications are outside of Somnology’s control. You accept that any reliance on these notifications will be at your own risk, and Somnology disclaims all liability arising from your use of them. You agree that Somnology may send push notifications to your mobile device for Service-related or marketing purposes, if they are enabled and in accordance with the Somnology Privacy Policy. You may turn off push notifications through your device settings.
  3. User Representations and Warranties.

Certain features of the Service may permit you or other users to upload content to the Service, including notes, data, text, images, location information, and other types of information (“User Content”) and to publish User Content on the Service. You retain the copyrights, including any moral rights, and any other proprietary rights that you may hold in the User Content that you post to the Service; provided that if you choose to export your Sleep Data to your healthcare provider, any data provided to your healthcare provider may become part of your health record, and that copy of such data may be owned and/or controlled by your healthcare provider under applicable law.
    • 8.2. Limited License Grant to Somnology. By posting or publishing User Content, you grant Somnology a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable right and license (with the right to sublicense) to use, host, store, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, and distribute your User Content, in whole or in part, for any purpose in accordance with our Privacy Policy, in any media formats and through any media channels now known or hereafter developed. We may also create anonymized data and reports from your User Content, and such data and reports will no longer be your User Content. You irrevocably and forever waive any rights you may have regarding your User Content being altered or manipulated in any way that may be objectionable to you. Somnology reserves the right to refuse to accept, post, display, or transmit any of your User Content in its sole discretion.
    • 8.3. Limited License Grant to Other Users.

    • 8.4. User Content Representations and Warranties. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing User Content. By posting or publishing User Content, you affirm, represent, and warrant that:

      a. you are the creator and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Somnology and users of the Service to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this section, in the manner contemplated by Somnology, the Service, and these Terms; and

      b. your User Content, and the use of your User Content as contemplated by these Terms, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Somnology to violate any law or regulation.

      You agree to pay for any and all royalties, fees, or other monies owing any person by reason of User Content you post on or through the Service.

    • 8.5. User Content Disclaimer. We are under no obligation to edit or control User Content that you or other users post or publish, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Somnology may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that when using the Service, you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, you agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against Somnology with respect to User Content. We expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with User Content, to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the User Content, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice.
  5. Procedure for Unlawful User Content.
    If you believe that any User Content does not conform to these Terms, please notify us. If you have an intellectual property rights-related complaint about material posted on the Service, you may contact our designated agent at the following address:

    Email: copyright@somnologymd.com

    Please note that under applicable law, if you knowingly give false, misleading or inaccurate information that User Consent is infringing, you may be subject to civil or criminal penalty. Any notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) alleging that materials hosted by or distributed through the Service infringe intellectual property rights must include all of the information required by the DMCA and be in writing for such notices:

    d. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address;

    e. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we will have no liability on account of any change to the Service or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service, provided that if Somnology ceases to operate the Service and terminates your access to the Service accordingly, then you will be entitled to a pro-rated refund of any prepaid fees that you have paid to Somnology for use of the Service. Upon the termination of your account or this agreement for any reason, Somnology may at its option delete any data associated with your account.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of that claim.
  9. Disclaimers; No Warranties
    THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE SOMNOLOGY ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE, ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, AND ANY SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE ASSOCIATED OR USED WITH THE SERVICE, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE; AND (C) ANY WARRANTY AS TO WHETHER THE SLEEP DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON OR TRANSMITTED BY THE SERVICE IS TRUE, COMPLETE OR ACCURATE. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SOMNOLOGY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HEALTHCARE OR RELATED DECISIONS MADE BY YOU OR YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BASED UPON DATA COLLECTED, TRANSMITTED OR DISPLAYED BY OR ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER SUCH DATA IS ACCURATE OR INACCURATE. THE SOMNOLOGY ENTITIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.

    NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE Somnology ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, YOU’RE DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER, AND ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE THE SERVICE, AND USE, ACCESS, DOWNLOAD, OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN MATERIALS OR CONTENT THROUGH THE SERVICE AND ANY ASSOCIATED SITES OR SERVICES, AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE), OR THE LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE OR THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF THAT MATERIAL OR CONTENT.

    THE ABOVE PARAGRAPHS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY PROHIBIT A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, IN PARTICULAR A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES PROVIDED OR IMPLIED BY LAW, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

  10. Limitation of Liability
    IN NO EVENT WILL THE SOMNOLOGY ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY SOMNOLOGY ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES ALSO INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF SAVINGS OR REVENUE; LOSS OF PROFIT; LOSS OF USE; LOSS OF LIFE OR HEALTH, THE CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES; AND ANY COST OF ANY SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES.

    EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 24.4, IF SOMNOLOGY CANNOT LAWFULLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY OF THE FOREGOING DAMAGES, THEN THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE SOMNOLOGY ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO USE THE SERVICE OR $100, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

    SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN WHICH CASE SUCH LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED IN SUCH JURISDICTION. Furthermore, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER.

    EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

    IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY (“DOMICILED IN NEW JERSEY”), DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY (SECTION 19) & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY (SECTION 20) ARE INTENDED TO BE ONLY AS BROAD AS IS PERMITTED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. IF ANY PROVISION OF THESE SECTIONS IS HELD INVALID UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, THE INVALIDITY OF THE PROVISION SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT NOR OUR PRIVACY POLICY.

  11. Force Majeure.
    Somnology will be excused from performance under these Terms for any period that it is prevented from or delayed in performing any obligations pursuant to these Terms, in whole or in part, as a result of a Force Majeure Event. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, for purposes of this section, “Force Majeure Event” means an event or series of events caused by or resulting from any of the following: (1) weather conditions or other elements of nature or acts of God; (2) acts of war, acts of terrorism, insurrection, riots, civil disorders or rebellion; (3) quarantines or embargoes, (4) labor strikes; (4) telecommunications, network, computer, server or Internet downtime; (5) unauthorized access to Somnology’s information technology systems by third parties; or (6) other causes beyond the reasonable control of Somnology.
  12. Governing Law and Competent Courts.
    To the fullest extent permitted pursuant to applicable law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then you and Somnology agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the Northern District of California for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the Service from our offices in the United States, and we make no representation that Materials included in the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations.
  13. General.
    These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Somnology regarding your use of the Service. Except as expressly permitted above, these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to these Terms. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld at Somnology’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment by you without such consent shall be null and void. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, Sections 2, and 8 through 25, along with the Privacy Policy and any other accompanying agreements, will survive.
  14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
    • 23.1. Generally. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and in the interest of resolving disputes between you and Somnology in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Somnology agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration, unless you are a consumer located in a jurisdiction that prohibits the exclusive use of arbitration for dispute resolution.

      Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SOMNOLOGY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

    • 23.2. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
    • 23.3. Arbitrator. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any arbitration between you and Somnology will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Somnology.
    • 23.4. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). Somnology’s address for Notice is: Somnology, Inc., 493 Seaport Court, Suite 102, Redwood City, CA 94063. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Somnology may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Somnology must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Somnology will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Somnology in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.
    • 23.5. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Somnology will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Mateo County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Somnology for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
    • 23.6. No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND SOMNOLOGY 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 Somnology agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law.
    • 23.7. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no action arising out of, in connection with, or relating to these Terms shall be brought by you more than one (1) year after the accrual of the cause of action. This period shall not be extended for any reason, except by the written consent of both parties. All statutes or provisions of law which would toll or otherwise affect the running of the period of limitation are hereby waived, and no such statute or provision of law shall operate to extend the period limited in this paragraph, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
    • 23.8. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Somnology makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Somnology’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Somnology’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Somnology will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
    • 23.9. Enforceability. If Section 6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 24 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 24 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 21 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
