10. Agreement to Arbitrate
By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against the Company on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Agreement to Arbitrate. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against the Company or any Company entity, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against any Company entity by someone else.
You and the Company agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms of Use or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the website at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to these Terms of Use will be resolved in accordance with the Agreement to Arbitrate provisions set forth below. Please read this information carefully. Among other things it:
- Affects your rights and will impact how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.
- Includes a Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief pursuant to which you agree to waive your right to participate in a class action, representative, collective, or consolidated lawsuit against us.
- If a dispute arises between you and the Company or any Company-related entity, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly.
Agreement to Arbitrate
Our Agreement
You and STI Pharma each agree that any and all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms of Use or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the website at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to these Terms of Use, including without limitation federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
You and STI Pharma agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, collective, or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and STI Pharma agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, collective, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator(s) may award relief (including monetary, injunctive and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect any other STI Pharma customers.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator or arbitrators instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, the arbitrator(s) can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. The arbitrator(s) also must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator(s) to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above, shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (referred to as the “AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms of Use, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement to Arbitrate evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Agreement to Arbitrate or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send the other party, by certified mail, a completed Notice of Dispute. You should send this notice to [INSERT ADDRESS AND CONTACT DEPARTMENT]. We will send any notice to you to the address you identify to us. It is your responsibility to keep your address up to date. All information called for in the notice must be provided including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.
If you and STI Pharma are unable to resolve the claims described in the notice within 30 days after the notice is sent, you or STI Pharma may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website at www.adr.org.
The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or STI Pharma may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and STI Pharma subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you or STI Pharma may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator(s) require otherwise. Any settlement offer made by you or STI Pharma shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator(s).
The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator(s) will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different customers of ours but is/are bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same customer to the extent required by applicable law. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by STI Pharma should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and STI Pharma will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, STI Pharma will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator(s) deem necessary to prevent the cost of accessing the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator(s) determine the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse STI Pharma for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by us on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.
Severability
With the exception of any of the provisions in the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above, if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void, but the remainder of these Terms of Use will continue to apply.
Future Amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms of Use to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than an amendment to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against STI Pharma prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by this Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and STI Pharma. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on [INSERT WEBSITE ADDRESS] at least 21 days before the effective date of the amendments and by providing notice through email. If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may cease your use of the website with us within the 21-day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
